Its location was central, a short walk to Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamami. The rooms were big with a balcony, the staff were responsive.
Although everything was fine, some of the staff were not very good.

The location was good to Sultamahmets airport shuttle, next to Sultanahmet District Public Square. Further, it was really close to the Hagia Sophia which is literally 2 blocks away, the nearest metro stop and all main tourist attractions.

The best possible location was only a short distance to Basilica Cistern. It was located in a perfect area not far from tram line and all historical attractions, and the most popular landmarks in Istanbul such as Sultan Ahmet Cami, Hagia Sofia Museum, Top kapi Museum and more. We were upgraded to amazing twin/double room on top floors. Our breakfast was satisfactory with a beautiful view, the mosques of istanbul, fantastic views.
