Very well located hotel, close to a vibrant area and near Blue Mosque and other nice places in Sultanahmet. Breakfast is ok, with Turkish specialties. Our room was tiny, barely fits our luggage, but in general was a good stay.

About 50 minutes from the airport (~$40) by taxi. Location is very convenient, walking distance to main attractions. The hotel is very clean and conveniently located. Staff is friendly. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is awesome and you can go upstairs to have it in the patio overlooking the water. Would definitely recommend and come back if travels bring us back there.
