This was an incredible pick. The location, on a quiet street in Sultanhamet, was walking distance to several major attractions and, for those with good endurance walking distance also to Karikoy and all of its sites. We greatly enjoyed the reception and the friendliness of front-desk staff. The rooms themselves were as described. The bathroom in the topmost room with the balcony was a bit cramped, but acceptable for two people. Really, this is a wonderful hotel. I can't recommend it highly enough.
