If u r backpacking, and need a room at cheap price, then u may opt for Metropole. Its located conveninetly near the riverside, main road which has lot of eating options, and is 5 mins away from Aya Sofiya and Blue Mosque.
Rooms are very tiny, and if u r 2 people, with big suitcases or luggage, u may be constrained for space. Bath is also very tiny. The staircase is dirty, and the elevator doesnt give u a safe feel. However the rooms are clean, even if outside the rooms, and the reception areas are dirty.
Pls ask for a room away from the street as the night can be noisy with some construction work which was on during our stay.
