Small hotel with compact, but adequate, rooms, Not plush, but fair condition and good value for money. Staff very friendly and helpful (except youngish lady running the dining room). Breakfast is only 7 euros if not booked ahead - not extensive range but good healthy (if you want that). We hadn't booked breakfast, but management gave us the first one free.
Accommodation comprises bedroom with bed + wardrobe + TV + Air-conditioning and good shower room with sink and toilet.
Two bedrooms on each floor. On one is the the road, and those on the other side get an amazing view of the Blue Mosque, which is especially picturesque lit up at night. We were initially booked into the Road side, as hotel very full on the Saturday night; but, staff gave us wonderful surprise by secretly moving all our belongings to a room facing the Blue Mosque during our first full day!
Staff also gave helpful advice on getting around (easy).
Key sites just round the corner, e.g. Blue Mosque, Cisterns, Topkapi Palace, museums, towers... Grand Bazaar very near. Easy walk to the water, where you can have boat trips, walk over the bridge to the Galata Tower, or catch metro to anywhere, but particularly across the Bosphorus to Asia (10 minutes ride, for 4L - amazingly cheap).
We chose public transport for the airport-hotel trips. Metro from Ataturk Airport direct to Aksaray station, walk 5 minutes to the Tram stop equivalent (Aksaray), and catch a tram to within ~200 metres of hotel
