The location of the hotel is fantastic! The host Baran is extremely kind and helpful, at all times. When we arrived, our room was not ready but they let us wait at their beautiful terrace overlooking the sea and have a coffee and recharge our phones. Most places of interest are also walkable from here.

The hotel is in a great location, you can reach all the most important landmarks in about 15-20 min walk (Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar). If you want to go to the port and take a ferry to the asian side, there's a direct tram taking you there literally 30 seconds away from the hotel. The room was very clean and had all the necessary facilities (kettle, tea/coffee, mini fridge, AC).
Breakfast was served in a lovely small cafe, around 50 m away from the hotel. It usually consisted of cold plates (ham, cheese, wegetables, some marmalade) + something warm prepared just for you (omelette, scrambled eggs, sausages etc - everyday we had something different). Everything fresh and tasty. The host was extremely nice and helpful. I totally recommend this place for your stay in Istanbul!

There are plenty small cafes in a 1 min vicinity of the hotel and I tried some of them for my breakfast. Besides, one may have breakfast on the top terrace but I did not used this possibility. Location is very good: It takes about 20-30 min to reach the main tourist attraction spots in Istanbul. Besides, the hotel is very close to a train station (100 meters distance) and the sea (about 5 min walk). The locals swim in the sea but I would not recommend it. I enjoyed walking along the shore. I think the hotel location is perfect in any sense.
