Cheap, but not always clean.
While in Istanbul, I stayed at the Mavi Guesthouse in the Sultanahmet area. While the rate was cheap, and the service very friendly and helpful, the double room I stayed in had bugs in it, and I'm still trying to convince myself that it wasn't fleas. I stayed in the adjecent building to the main guesthouse (which may be the cause of the problems), and the shared bath was also very inconvenient since it had no lock, and no where to really change your clothes without the fear of someone walking in on you (male or female), although the conditions in the main building where a lot more favorable from what I heard from other guests.
