Really pleasant stay at Otantik Guesthouse. A modest and comfortable place, with an affordable price and located in a bustling local neighborhood. The service of all the staff was really great, they were very kind and interested in us having a great experience. The breakfast was our table full of delicious food! It's within walking distance (20 to 30 min) to the Sultanahmet sights. Also right next to Laleli neighborhood. Would definitely have liked to stay a bit longer!
