We loved everything from the contemporary decor, to coffee and cookies at reception, the private sauna and personnel 24/7. It is more like a boutique hotel. They do your beds and cleanup your room everyday. Fatih the area is in the old city, beware of Very pronounced hills. Uber last is cheap and fast, you are steps (steep) from the grand bazaar and walking distance from blue mosque and haguia sofya, after you climb up to the Grand bazaar everything else is either flat or downhill. The city is safe and beatiful lots of people never had a problem. The more modern area is a taxi away Taksim Square. Istanbul is Very cheap.
