Our Newalla stay was perfect, the room distribution was just what we needed, only a few blocks away is a street filled with restaurants, and less than a minute walk away is the train station with quick access to the Topkapi Palace and Galata Bridge. The view are not great, nor the are, it is safe, and clean and people are very friendly, just a little run down. The hotel seemed to be going renovations because our room was in pristine condition, beautiful and well taken care of. Staff was super, super nice, helpful and kind, very responsive and friendly, we wold recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in Old Town. They even bid us farewell with a box of Turkish delights.
