    would come there again

    The standard double room had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom. Loved the cleanliness! The staff was super helpful, organizing a Bosphorus cruise for us. Great amenities like free toiletries, a minibar, and a wardrobe. Location is unbeatable. Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia just 2 minutes away!

    Helpful staff interaction and efficient airport transfers.

    Our stay was plagued by numerous inconveniences. The breakfasts were disappointing. stale bread and lack of eggs made it a dreary start to our days. Furthermore, the thin walls meant we felt like we were sharing the rooms with our neighbors, which was incredibly frustrating.

    clean room
    strong air conditioning
    fantastic rooftop
    cramped breakfast area

    Staying in the Standard Double Room was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was clean and had strong air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the heat. The view from the rooftop for breakfast was fantastic, with a beautiful backdrop of the city. Also, the breakfast area felt cramped with just a glass roof, not super inviting.

    breakfast variety

    I loved taking the Bosphorus tour arranged by the friendly staff and exploring Eminonu for affordable shopping. The rooftop terrace and evening chill-out spaces were perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Breakfast could use a bit more variety, but overall, it was a fantastic experience! 😊

    Family-friendly spot

    We stayed in a two-bedroom suite. The staff, always available, helped us navigate the area easily and even suggested places to eat that didn’t break the bank.

    Wasn't exactly cheap but it was still a fair price for the experience we had.

    The location is perfect! Just 5 mins walk to Hagia Sofia and even less to the tram. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help out. Breakfast was varied and delicious, definitely a highlight of our stay.

    excellent location
    helpful staff
    basic breakfast
    outdated amenities
    limited variety

    The location is fantastic, just a short walk to major attractions and very close to the tram station, making it easy to explore. The staff provided great service, consistently offering fresh towels and clean rooms every day. However, the breakfast options were quite basic and lacked variety, and some amenities felt a bit outdated. While everything was functional, the overall vibe could benefit from modern touches.
