Clean rooms. Well positioned for Sultanahmet sites - Able to walk around the district in the evenings undisturbed. ( apart from routine Istanbul touting - excessive) Pleasant staff.
Prepare for the difference between advertised room price, 'special offers' & front of desk arrival banter ( cash - no cash/credit cards) - for a lethargic receipt and reluctant/non return (assumed as 'tip' before you have the chance to suggest/decide that option) of the change.
Definitely 'no frills' - bring own mini toiletries etc. Meals ho hum.

We stayed for 4 days in Abella Hotel in Istanbul! Again! It is the second time, in the same hotel. I think we will come here again the next time. The hotel is in a perfect location for visiting the old city, everything is within walking distance. The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood near the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia Museum, Topkapi Palace… The service is excellent. The staff is very friendly especially Mr.İBRAHEM. The staff can help with directions, guides, tours. The rooms are not that big, but comfortable. The cleanliness is excellent. Breakfast is at the same level as most hotels we've visited, but the restaurant on the roof is special, with beautiful view at Bosporus and Old Town. I fully recommend it.
