The cheap hotel was wonderful! Family atmosphere, extensive breakfast with fries, deserts, meat/cheese. Brand-new room, neat with nice bathroom, WiFi, comfortable beds, very efficient staff. The best location in the town, near tourist attractions. Nestled near restaurants and cafes. Close to a tram station and perfect area.
Wi-Fi was bad.

Its location was perfect, close to all the major attractions, and in a local area. Our guest room with TV and a beautiful view plus the balcony was cheap. Everything was nice, yet a few employees were dirty.

Cheap hotel with top-class and helpful staff in Services. Plenty of GREAT options for meal. Good bed in the guest room, plus central heating, a work desk and TV. Absolutely perfect and magnificent spot close to all the trams, walking minutes from Aya Sofya, and especially historical places such as Topkapi, Blue mosk, Ayasofia. For tea or coffee visit Safa Kahvesi nearby.
