Rooms are small but I felt safe here and they were comfortable. Also the location is AMAZING…
-20 min walk from the Hagia Sophia
-15 min walk from the Blue Mosque (under construction though)
-5 minute walk from the Egyptian Spice Bazaar
-11 minute walk to one of the Grand Bazaar gates
-right around the corner from the metro station
-3 minute walk to the ferry that will take you to the Asian side of Istanbul
I didn’t learn any Turkish and got by just fine in English but the locals really appreciate when you try to speak their language.
Remember to do some bartering when purchasing at most shops.
Stay safe and enjoy your stay!!!!
