On my second trip to Istanbul, I wanted to be in the center of the historic district of Sultanahmet. I chose the Best Western Premier Regency Suites mostly because of the reviews only (BTW, the other Best Western Acropol is right down the street). I got a great deal on a junior queen suite, with one day free, so it amounted to the equivalent of 110 euros a night for five nights. Breakfast (which included omelets to order) was large and free. Wifi was also free. Although I read several comments about problems with connectivity, and even the porter who brought my luggage to my room said 'be patient', I experienced no problems whatsoever.
The staff is superb. They speak English, are extremely friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very clean and nice. I did not take advantage of the free Turkish baths and sauna.
I highly recommend this hotel. You are right around the street from the Blue Mosque and two blocks the other way to Hagia Sophia.
