Sara Montenegro

I really liked the reception at the hotel, they were helpful and wanted to make our stay very comfortable, answered all our questions. Breakfast was included and quite impressive.

Nazik Kyrgyzstan

Overall is in a great place, and the location was 10/10. There are many restaurants nearby. The room was really clean, and almost everything in the room. The only issue is water which was not given, and they don't have that too. You need to buy water from outside. Nothing special in breakfast, only the terrace where it was served. The management of the hotel was good, and the people were too friendly and helpful.

The staff here were all lovely - they were extremely helpful with any advice or assistance we needed. Also the location is great - 10 minutes walk to Hagia Sophia and other locations to visit.

Hayden United Kingdom

Staff are exceptional at this hotel, go out of their way to attend to your needs. A family friendly hotel. Location excellent, close to Blue Mosque, Topkapi Museum , Hagia Sofia etc. An additional bonus to this hotel is that it’s close to the sea, so if you ask the staff they will direct you, it takes around 10 minutes walking.
