The winning point of this hotel is definitely the location. It's in Sirkeci area, everything is within walking distance. The hotel itself and the room is small, but the hotel has an elevator. The breakfast is good with local dishes, just enough variety though the dining area is small but enough. Got a higher floor room as requested, is quiet, and not disturbed by neighborhood noises at any time of the day which is good. How friendly the staffs are, is not really my concern. Recommended for those with a low budget but not for claustrophobic.
