The location was great and stunning, around 10-15 minutes walk from a historic mosque. And the area was good, so close to the airport Sabiha Gokcen airport which is located 50 minutes away, the sightseeings such as Topkapi, Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Kapali Charshi, Haga Sofia Mosque and so on, and the historic area. The economy queen room I got was complete with a nice view, 2 bedrooms, for instance.
Disappointing aspect was not so clean bathroom.
