It was an simple hotel, simple breakfast with a great view

Got this hotel for 10 quid more than the bog standard 2/3 star on on EasyJet.com. It was a nice hotel in a convenient location (not really a "four star" hotel as you would expect in western Europe, but still a nice hotel). The staff were friendly and helpful, though the prices they charge at the bar for water and such are extortionate.

The rooms+bathrooms were nice, clean, and well decorated, though our was a little small. Its just down the hill from the Grand Bazaar, a little further from the Aya Sofia/Blue Mosque, but still easily walkable (and the tram is at the top of the hill too).

There are baths and swimming pool in the basement, but guest have to pay to use them, which sucks (not even a discount, the full 20 Lira entrance fee). The is a nice view from the restaurant on the top floor (the free breakfast was OK, nothing special. Didn't go there for dinner or lunch).

Smelly room due to bad plumbing. Very noisy area and room. Not very clean. Bathtub was becoming full of water due to bad plumbing. Paid 50 euro extra because I invited a guest for two hours in my room in the afternoon. Location in close proximity from Grand bazzar and Ayia Sofia and Topkaki palace.
