We enjoyed the friendly staff and ample breakfast, but what stood out most was the value. The price was very, very reasonable for what we got. Location is pretty good, a short walk to Sultanahmet square and Metro. Restaurants and shops all around the hotel. Definitely a good option for someone looking for a good budget hotel option - clean, friendly, central.
