The breakfast is more than adequate and savoury with an omelet and boiled eggs, and the service is very good. The atmosphere of the hotel is quiet. The location it offers is handy, close to Blue Mosque and Haga Sophia, local markets, shops & restaurants and tram stations and sightseeing.
It has very very bad views and the bathroom is very small.
