Brilliant hotel, located close to some of the main attractions in Sultanahmet - and within easy reach (5mins walk) of two tram lines.
The room and bathroom offered everything needed (including a fridge, free bottled water daily and air conditioning), the breakfast buffet had a good range of options, for an evening meal there was an on-site (paid) restaurant - and the staff were very welcoming and friendly.
