9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
It was a good place to stay with only one pleasant receptionist, Ramezan. Breakfast was good and great location
The room was too small
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
The room was comfortable. The location was excellent and within easy access to Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque.
We are elderly and can't walk far but road access to the hotel in not available from 10am to 6pm. We booked transport to the airport but the driver coudn't get to the front of the hotel. We had to walk 30 - 40 metres t taxi. Fortunatley, the manager at the hotel was able to help us.

Central tidy big room
Breakfast was always the same a bit limited in variety
6 / 10Average·Sep 2026
Friendly reception when we arrived. In general, the hotel staff was very helpful and went beyond the norm to make our stay in Istanbul a pleasant one. Cleanliness was top notch and our room was serviced every day.
The general maintenance and appearance were not as per the pictures when we booked our stay. However, everything worked, although the air conditioner in our room is screaming for a good service. The door on the bathroom cabinet was removed and exposed the plumbing at the back. The toilet seat was loose. The shower head is in serious need of a good clean as it is clogged because of calcification. The bedroom table was not secured properly against the wall. The safe worked fine but was loose and not bolted down.
