My fiance and I stayed at this hotel for a few nights while in Istanbul, Turkey on our honeymoon. It was perfect! The room is small (the one we got) but very nice and the location of the hotel is to die for. You can easily walk to all the tourist hot spots, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. The only spot that we had to walk a bit to get to was the Spice Market, but everything else was right there. Great! The staff was great too, always ready to help, they even told us how much the taxis should cost so we wouldn't get taken for a ride (thanks Sebo, Onder and Ramo, you were all great). I highly recommend staying here.
The hotel is well designed/pleasing to the eye and they offer a wonderful breakfast.
Lastly, the hotel doesn't have an elevator, which is fine for most people, but if you are not quite as quick as you use to be try and get a room close to the ground floor.
