I booked this hotel in January, confirmed my booking three weeks before we were due to stay there.

Good value for price, I had a small single room, all basics were covered. The room, at the back of the hotel, faced the railway station, and was close to Sirkeci metro stop.

I was staying two nights in Istanbul on my way back from Alanya, and I booked at Esen because it was cheap and good location.
