Our room was decent enough, and quiet enough. We were on the 4th floor (I believe) and only had a view of an alleyway, but it wasn't too bad. Looking sideways out one of the bay windows, we could see a major mosque (see photo). The breakfast room on the top floor was very pleasant with great views and a standard buffet selection of food.
The porter was an excellent helpful fellow, but he could only do so much. The front desk staff were absolutely useless with pretty much any request at all, and housekeeping was hit-and-miss.
I would not stay there again. I would stay up closer to Taksim Square where the better business hotels are, and the better restaurants, and then take a taxi a couple of times to Sultanahmet for all the tourist sites, and then walk back each time. Failing that, I would splurge for the Four Seasons in that area.
