The hotel is close to Sultanahmet station, the very center of Istanbul tourism, but tucked away in an alley, so traffic is not noisy.
The facilities are a bit old, but well renovated and comfortable.
There are many great sights and restaurants in the area, but many of them are a bit pricey.
Above all, the reception staff was very attentive and helpful during our stay in Istanbul.

Good about this hotel -
Location - Excellent as you are close to the main sights and a tram stop is 2 minute walk away.
Facilities/Services - Lift available which was very useful, laundry, breakfast and arranging travel.
Service - Most of the receptionist staff spoke English and were very helpful with arranging excursions or anything we needed help with. They almost always had someone at reception too.
Roof - Nice view of the Blue Mosque and a lot of the city.
Price - Better value than the hotels that are supposed to be competing with this hotel.
Bad about the hotel -
Rooms - The bathrooms were VERY small.
Facilities - There was very low water pressure in the bathrooms, the lowest in any hotel i've ever stayed at. The AC was also quite weak. Some rooms appeared to have a newer AC and different showerhead which compensated a tad for the low water pressure. They also didn't have a do not disturb hanger to hang outside the door, so if you were napping after a long walk you would be woken up by the cleaning staff unless you told reception in advance. Also, if you were staying on the first floor, you hear a lot of sound inside and outside of the hotel.
Overall review -
If you are on a budget, honestly this is a hotel I would stay at again if I was on a tight budget. It's better than a lot of the hotel which are competing with it in terms of price range.

Pluses:
1) The location is excellent for sightseeing, only a 10 minute walk to Aghia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkari Palace. A tram stop is a two minute walk, and the nearest metro station is about 8 minutes walk.
2) Clean. The room cleaning lady does a great job.
3) Cheap for a historic centre (but you'll quickly see why, see below)
4) Good pressure shower!
Minuses:
1) Many rooms are located at the back of the building with not-so-great views (house under construction) or NO views at all. Rooms on our side had a solid wall of rendering about 1.5 meter away from the window. So no natural light at all, you just see the wall.
2) The breakfast is very limited and products are of really poor quality, some seem to be reused.
3) Very bad Wi-Fi, particularly in the evening. It took me 2 days of complaining to get a better WiFi (they have two WiFi networks, the second seems to be reserved only for those who complain).
4) The back of the building also houses a large air-conditioning unit, so if you're unfortunate like us, you will lie there trying to sleep but hear it switching on and off.
5) If like us, you're unlucky to get a room next to the elevator, prepare for constant noise.
6) This location, surrounded by many cafe and restaurants, also means that you will get constantly hassled by restaurant people as you pass by. Not the hotel's fault, but gets very tiring after a while.
7) The quality of finishing in rooms is poor.

Es un hotel perfecto para visitar Estambul. Situado a 5" andando a Sta Sofía, la mezquita Azul, y a escasos 10" del Gran Bazar.
Lo peor es el deficiente aire acondicionado.

Excelente escolha
Se você procura uma vista deslumbrante da cidade na janela do seu quarto, procure outro hotel. Se você deseja uma localização excelente, um banheiro novo, limpo e com bom chuveiro, boa cama, ar condicionado funcionando, bom café da manhã e staff atencioso, essa é uma ótima opção.

La estancia fue perfecta ! El hotel muy bien situado a 5’ de las mezquitas azul y Sofía ! Sin duda volvería a alojarme ahí !
El personal estupendo , el desayuno está rico y variado aunque nada de bollería , y la habitación algo pequeña pero para dormir está perfecta ! Eso sí , no tiene armarios la habitación para dos ( madre e hijo ), pero le pongo un 9 en general

Gutes Hotel
Es ist ein sehr gutes Team, sie sind alle hilfreich und bemühen sich für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Hotel ist nicht das Neuste, jedoch ist es immer sauber. Es ist 24Stunden zugänglich, hat einen Lift und es ist immer jemand da. Das Hotel hat eine super Lage und man kann von dort aus überall gehen. Wir waren mit der Familie da und hatten keinen negativen Punkt. Super Aufenthalt, Danke vielmals!

Die Nähe zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten war ganz praktisch.
Was absolut nicht in Ordnung war, ich habe ein Zimmer zum Lichthof bekommen, in 1,5m Abstand die nächste Wand zu meinem Zimmerfenster. Der Lichthof war laut, dreckig und hat zusätzlich für Hitzestau gesorgt.
Die Einrichtungen des Zimmers total überaltet und zum Teil gammelig. Also absolut unzufrieden. Das gesamte Haus benötigt unbedingt eine General-Sanierung!
