Top notch staff, average room, great location
So many comments mention the staff and now I understand why. They truly went out of their way to help, explain, and arrange whatever we asked about. There are also helpful signs in English on how to get to various locations in Instanbul. The staff made understanding and navigating the city easy. They brought luggage up 3 flights of stairs happily never expecting a tip for all their help. The accommodation was not luxury but we were out all day anyway exploring the city. I would absolutely stay here again.
