If you need to stay in central Istanbul and do not want to pay a small fortune for an international hotel, this place might be an option. The staff were helpful, rooms were quite spacious, and wifi was working well. Breakfast was basic but functional. However, it was not possible to borrow an iron and ironing board (perhaps not a problem for most people, but for me it was a small disaster - I was in town for business and needed to look respectable). All in all, I guess this was an OK hotel - no more, no less.
