I researched alot of hotels in Instanbul because I found negative reviews. I would definitely recommend ths hotel. The service was excellent, the breakfast was amazing with beautiful views of the mosques. The hotel is in the touristy part of the city, but its a great location and central part of the sights. The T1 tram line stop is one block down with atms and machines for Istanbulkarts. Everyone is very helpful in the hotel is you need something. The rooms and bathrooms are very nice and clean. There were three of us with three twin beds and plenty of room. I would highly recommend this hotel!
