Hidden Hotel in old City

Pros: Close to some of the better attractions in Istanbul
Location: There is the Blue Mosque and the Bazaar within walking distance - just need a detailed map to be able to navigate the narrow streets.
Pleasant hotel but hidden away in the old part of the city. You need a good taxi driver to find it and it is a small building over several levels.
