I found the hotel to be a good option for those looking to save some money while staying in a central area. The location is unbeatable with easy access to public transport and local attractions, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms. However, be prepared for limited dining options and basic amenities, which might not suit everyone’s tastes.

I found the hotel to be a budget-friendly option with a central location near public transport and attractions like the Grand Bazaar. While the room was basic and not very spacious, it was clean and quiet. The lack of a full kitchen made dining options somewhat inconvenient, but there were plenty of eateries nearby. The breakfast was very basic, so don’t expect a lavish spread. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking to save money and stay connected to the heart of the city.

I ended up at this hotel after some booking issues, and while it wasn't my first choice, it was a decent stay. The location was super convenient with easy access to public transport and attractions like the Grand Bazaar. However, the room I had was on the smaller side, and the lack of a full kitchen made dining out necessary for most meals. The breakfast was basic, but I appreciated the cleanliness of the place. If you're looking for something affordable and don't mind limited amenities, this could work for you.

Overall, my stay was quite pleasant in this hotel. It’s conveniently located near key areas, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The room I stayed in was clean but a bit cramped, while the family room looked much more spacious. Breakfast was very basic, and I found the lack of a full kitchen to be a downside. Still, it’s a good budget option if you’re not looking to spend too much.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, primarily because of its location. It's in the heart of the city, making it easy to get around. The rooms were generally comfortable but on the smaller side. Breakfast was quite basic, and the dining options for lunch and dinner are limited since there's no in-house kitchen.

My stay at the hotel was quite adequate for the price I paid. It was conveniently located near the metro and tram lines, and I could easily walk to the Grand Bazaar. The room I stayed in was basic but clean, though a bit smaller than I expected. The lack of a full kitchen meant I had to find places to eat nearby, but there were plenty of options. Overall, it offered great value for what I needed, but there were certainly areas for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and economical as I found a connection to the main part of Istanbul easy enough. The rooms were clean, though a bit snug for two people. I did appreciate the spacious family rooms available at a reasonable price. The dining offered was limited to a basic breakfast, which could be improved, and the absence of a full kitchen meant I had to eat out for other meals.
