Who it suits and who it does not

The hotel suits a solo traveller, a couple, or a small family or group who want to be within a few hundred metres, in a straight line, of the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, with the simplicity of a hotel rather than a resort.

It does not suit travellers with pets, since they are not allowed. Drivers should also budget for paid parking.
