Basic double room was too small for 2 people. We had to upgrade the room locally.

Located right in the heart of the historic district meant easy walking to many locations. However it also meant parking was nonexistent. We were unsure what to do with the car when we first got there, but the staff quickly came out and did valet parking.
The staff speak very limited to no English, but were helpful. The room had a nice large TV with many channels. We stayed for 3 nights and they never removed the trash, however - this includes the bathroom where you put the toilet paper in the trashcan.
Overall it was a good experience.

This hotel is a hidden gem. I read these same reviews prior to booking a night at this hotel. Many comments spoke about the small mosque nearby offering prayers throughout the day---well, welcome to Turkey. You'll hear this throughout the country and it's what is special about Turkey. The staff was outstanding and did their best to make sure I was comfortable. I will return the next time I'm in town.

Good choice
Good location and excellent staff. Room was small but quiet and comfortable. Excellent wifi. Aircon and fridge worked okay. Close to Christian churches and markets, 20 minutes by taxi to otogar, 15 minutes by taxi to the huge archaeology museum.

Friendly
Place was in good spot beside the old town. Which was as well hotel’s biggest and only minus; minaret’s noise came from 100m away. Stuff was really friendly, that overcame their lack of fluency in English. I will remember them as caring people.
