Mustafa and his staff are very welcoming and friendly. We arrived really early at 7 am in the morning but he very kindly accommodated us with a clean room at 9am instead of waiting till the official check in time. The accommodation is 5 minutes away from the airport shuttle bus drop off point too! All of them were friendly and gave us loads of tips in terms of where to go and where to eat.

The first room we were given was clean and nice. We had to change the room as the toilet flooded every time we took a shower. We got a new room the next day after mentioning a few times and got a much better room which is in the next building. The room is newly renovated with a nice bathroom and spacious room. The two buildings are connected by a common lobby. The only thing was the room was facing the road and it's very noisy in the night and morning.

I would probably stay on the other side of the river next time where it's more lively and with nicer sights(Hagia Sofia, blue mosque nearby). Takism square is very very busy and messy all day and though it's safe, somehow you don't feel that when you walk back to the accommodation.

Would recommend for the price and friendliness of the staff but not the area.
