Its location is good being close to the Blue Mosque etc. My room was a little tired but definitely adequate. Just be careful about the restaurant recommendation you might get from reception. The one I got was expensive and there are cheaper options close by.

Rumours Inn, A Writers Dreamland!

Lets start from the entrance and it was the most warmest and coziest lobby in whole istanbul, period. I will explain the pro and growth opportunities below: pro: 1. View from the room, 2. Distance to All the locations 3. Staffs are friendly, still remember Mesut, Kareem and other amazing people and their service [they give good recommendations, just ask] 4. Great breakfast, 5. Clean room and perfect temperature! Growth opportunity: 1. Bathrooms are very cramped, 2. Stairs are very narrow. 3. High end rooms are smaller than expected! Overall, I will choose Rumours Inn at any day over any other places in Istanbul

A very pleasant stay, the hotel was a bit dated and the room had a dry water patch there wasn'ta tv ( which doesn't worry me but may do for some)there was a room safe.... , stairs for some could be a bit tricky..( a spiral type) . The staff were really helpful and friendly , the hotel is situated in a back street which is cobbled, but a 3-5 minute walk from the blue mosque/ hagia sofia
