Good option if on a budget
Nice basic hotel very close to many restaurants and shops as well as a tram line stop. Breakfast is Turkish style and not bad, maybe lacking a few items for typical Western or international taste. Beds are comfy, rooms seem clean. Bathroom is a little small but sufficient. Staff is very friendly. My main issue was the occasional smoke smell (but a certain base level seemed to linger), coming either from other rooms/balkonies/the street in front of the building or the rooms themselves. Istanbul has a lot of smokers (many of whom don't seem to care if rooms are marked as non-smoking), also when compared to other locations in Turkiye that I've visited. A lesser inconvenience was the noise from the street, windows weren't sound proof and in the 2nd room the balcony door didn't close well. This was usually not a show stopper though, and there was no noise from other rooms or hallway in 6 nights, which was a positive.
