We stayed here for a week over the New Year period for 130E per night. Our family of five squeezed into a standard suite – one bedroom, one sofa bed in the lounge/kitchen area and a single fold out bed which we chose to put in the hallway.
Pros
Helpful staff and good location. We think it is better to stay in the Sultanahmet area rather than near Taksim Square as most of the main sites are in the old city. This saves time on travel and allows a return home during day to drop off purchases etc.
It is easy and much cheaper to get the tram and train to the airport compared to a taxi. The nearest tram stop is short but steep walk uphill to Divan Yolu Caddesi.
Short mostly uphill walk to Hippodrome, lots of restaurants around. Quiet area of town. Good bathroom. There is a café downstairs but we did not need it. Breakfast seemed expensive when cheap street food is readily available.
Cons
The kitchen was ill equipped in terms of utensils/crockery/cutlery but did have a microwave and four hot plates. It was hard to cook a decent meal but nice to be able to make breakfast and tea at will. The walls are extremely thin with no hope of sleeping through the 6.15am prayer call. We could hear movement from upstairs clearly.
