The staff were consistently courteous, ready to any request. Our accommodation was set in a central location not far from the major attraction in SultanAhmet Area eg and blue mosque and Hagia Sofia.

The location of the hotel was excellent, near the historical center. Moreover, it was adjacent to the central attractions, restaurants and fast food and the " must see " landmarks in the historic Istanbul.
Can’t fault anything about it.
