Terrible motel like hotel. Do not go if you are expecting a smoke fee room. It smells like a dirty old motel. And the hallways and stairs are extremely dangerous- no light until you are half way down the dangerous no railed twirled stairs

I would strongly recommend the Santefe Hotel. The value is unbeatable but it is also supported by N extremely friendly staff. The room is small but adequate for 2 people who spend most of their time outside visiting or sleeping. The baths are modern and big enough for 2 at the same time. They are many great restaurants and attractions around and it is only a $15 cab ride to almost anywhere. Book there and save your money for tours on the bay of Istanbul. I give the Santefe Hotel a 5 star rating without hesitation.
