Great location in very close proximity to Sultanahmet & Hagia Sophia Mosque. Very clean. Worth noting there is no restaurant so breakfast is not provided. I thought breakfast was included when booked but there are good food options in nearby.

My wife and I had a good stay at Hotel Basileus for a couple of nights before starting a cruise out of Istanbul. The hotel is not fancy, but it was a great value. Some highlights worth noting were: - Very low price - Great location, a short walk from most of the major tourist sites in Istanbul's old city - Quiet neighborhood but close to everything - Extremely helpful staff, especially Kenan, who provided good recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Check out Basileus if you are looking for a great value in a place to stay in Istanbul.

It was okay

The staff was friendly and very helpful. This hotel is a little older, needs a little updating paint and furniture. Could be a little cleaner, and there were four to five insects in my room. Oh and part of my shower door was missing.
