The staff was very helpful, the rooms were on the small side. They provided a good selection at breakfast. It was easy to walk to the main attractions in Old Istanbul. Restaurants are all around the hotel. I would recommend this hotel!

This hotel is an excellent location, and the staff go out of their way to accommodate and help guests. Rooms are a little small, but we were not in out room very much except to sleep. Rooms are very clean.

I liked the location of the place and breakfast was reasonably good. The room photos on the website are deceiving giving a perspective that these are big rooms. The rooms are extremely small, and the bathroom is tiny, you can barely move around.

Hotel very well located to visit main atractions as Agia Sofia, Blue Musque, Basílica Cisterna, Grand Bazar, and the beautifull streets of the city. Everything is walking distance.

This is a goodbudgetnproperty in an excellent location for walking to the central attractions of Isranbul. It is also close to the metro. The regular rooms are very small but manageable. The suites are very nice and closer to an American size room. The staff is kind and helpful.
Rajendra, 2-night trip

Perfect location. Stayed for a few days and then travelled and property looked after excess luggage and upon return gave a room upgrade. Staff helpful. There were sewage smells in the bathroom which may just be the Istanbul system.

The hotel is unfortunately old and not well maintained compared to other hotels in the vicinity.
Jan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, not very peaceful

Hotel location was great and bedrooms were good, all the basics were provided. The walls are very thin so you could hear lots of people moving around, particularly the loud cleaners who would chat away very loudly in the mornings on their phones making it impossible to lie-in.

Would love to come back

I really loved this hotel and it's top of my list if I ever come back to this city. The location so close to the metro that it's pretty much 2 minutes to the station, which is amazing. You can hop on the B1 line and head to the airports from here very easily. We took the metro to come and leave. But be warned that this entrance requires an elevator to get into the subway so it can get crowded. There's a proper entrance 5 minutes away. The room we had was for 5 people so it was fairly large and has 3 twins and a queen. Very comfortable facilities in the room such as safe, refrigerator, AC, chargers and plugs, closet space, etc. Room seemed also to be somewhat soundproofed, which was fantastic considering we were close to the street. Others commented about small room size but I was in a room for 5 which was great. Kid friendly in that sense. Service and Breakfast were really top notch and something to really write about! I went to a few different hotels in the city and this was by far the best. Great service and a variety of different eating options.
