I stayed at the hotel for two nights during a transit through Istanbul. The hotel was offered by the airline and one night was paid for by them, so in order not to change the location, I stayed there the second night as well.
The location is not right in the center, but not far. Right next to the hotel is a tram stop that goes through Sultanahmet Square and towards Taksim (from the final tram stop to Taksim you can take the funicular).
You can get from the airport to the hotel by metro, but with two transfers.
To be honest, knowing that the hotel was offered by the airline, I did not expect anything outstanding from it. But to my surprise, the hotel turned out to be quite good and, most importantly, quiet. Probably, this is one of the quietest hotels in Istanbul where I have stayed, not counting the expensive chain hotels. So I slept well. I did not even hear the morning call to prayer.
Breakfasts at the hotel can be included in the price of accommodation, or you can book without breakfast. On the first morning I took advantage of the breakfast, and it was not bad. It is worth remembering that breakfasts in Istanbul city hotels are not rich, but in this case there is a choice and you will not go hungry.
Conclusion: if living a step away from the sights of Istanbul is not your goal and you are ready to spend 15-20 minutes to get to them, but at the same time you want to take a break from the noise, then I recommend the hotel.
