Excellent Location, very close to the tramway station and 20 minutes walk to Sultanahmet and other historical attractions. Well maintained rooms. Friendly Staff. Excellent 5-star level Breakfast. Good value for money, even the rates were very reasonable despite of staying there in peak season. No Toiletries. Internet was extremely slow. Room was a bit smaller then expected.

Everything was all right in the hotel. Good location, clean street, clean room and good breakfast. Too much cheating from the local people. All the time they were cheating in prices in the restaurants, shops, taxi and market places. It was very depressing.

Very helpful, friendly and welcoming staff. Close location to the excellent tram network that runs in and around Istanbul. Very easy and simple access to all the sights of Istanbul by using the tram. Lots of shops close by. Clean and comfortable hotel that does the job for exploring a fantastic city. Nothing really, although a better selection/variety at breakfast would be welcome.

Room size and interior design was ok . There were no soap in the bath , no drink in the fridge. We forgot a huge amount of foods in the fridge. And we phoned the hotel next day, but the foods are not kept for us. The foods had been brought all the way from Japan.

Quite well-located hotel, not too far way from the main touristic places, but better to take a tram to go to Topkapi palace etc. The staff speaks quite a lot of languages (incl English and Russian). Fitting to the 3 stars expectations, good price for this location. Hotel is surrounded by shops, so easy for shopping, but very noisy. Windows of our room were going out to the street and it was very noisy even with closed windows. The cleanness in the room is questionable. Breakfast is quite poor, not everything is possible to eat, but still can find some good things.

Very good localization. Rooms weren't soundproofed at all. You could hear every whisper of your neighbours behind the wall or behind the door. Many Russians in the hotel, who were extremlely loud. It was impossible to sleep till 4 am... Staff in the hotel also very loud, they start cleaning at 7 am every day waking me up! Nobody in the hotel, but the recepcionist, was speaking english. Air condition was not working... Breakfast was awful... I don't recomend that hotel.

Reception is open 24/24 h, the breakfast is a satisfying buffet, the location is good, it's at 5 minutes to tram station, the room is simple but well cleaned. Overall it's quite good. The lift did not work very well, the breakfast trays already used were only emptied quickly and returned to the service, often they were dirty.
