A very cozy and comfortable boutique hotel. I stayed there as part of a business trip to Istanbul. Very good-natured and caring staff. Great location and stunning panorama from the window overlooking the sea. Good hearty breakfasts are included in the price. All major attractions are within walking distance. I'll definitely stay there again.

Read to the end. There are pros and cons to this.
Positive
The lowest price of adequate hotels. There are almost barns nearby.
The location is in a quiet location. There are no restaurants with music.
It was once made with a soul.
Minuses.
Breakfast. Always. Scrambled eggs and sausages. The egg. Everything. has been consistently the same for 5 days.
The most delicious tea in the whole of Turkey!!! How they achieved this is not clear. Riddle. You can make this in the country of tea.
An adequate rating of the hotel is 8 out of 10.
A tiny hotel along a small spiral staircase and elevator. Breakfast is a buffet, but there is a very limited choice and every day is exactly the same. It's already difficult to eat the same thing in the morning for more than 4 days, but it's possible. Cleaning is mediocre. Some are being cleaned, some are not. We simply refused such cleaning. The staff doesn't speak Russian at all, however, with the exception of the employee in the dining room. Translator to help. There is a great terrace upstairs, always open, great view. Absolutely unkempt. And in the evening there is a beautiful view of the Blue Mosque, I have attached a photo. The location is just great - 10 minutes to the site between the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There's a Dubb Etnik restaurant next door, it's quite inexpensive, delicious, and the portions are large. We had dinner either in it, or went to the embankment (10 minutes) and to the right, there is a hookah bar along with food - very tasty hot pans. And again inexpensive.
In general, we can recommend this hotel, a solid four, perhaps with a plus. The main thing is in the historical center itself. The tram is 15 minutes away.
