    - Good location - Friendly staff - Clean room

    I personally find the chose of breakfast very poor. Very little fruits, no vegan milk option, not so healthy for my opinion. But they are always trying to help you which is nice

    It is very convenient location, walking distance to everything. Also clean rooms, modern, comfy bed, friendly stuff.

    Nothing really - room could use a repaint.

    The position in the city to visit all attractive destinations is perfect- close to a good food area as well.

    The hotel does need renovation, and it has started on the upper floor, due to which it is noisy and dirty in the elevator as they carry construction materials. Also, there is some construction happening opposite the hotel and also noisy on the other side. We stayed in a room with hotel signboard right next to our window, and the signboard made terrible noise due to the wind. They offered to move us, but on the other side, the room is even smaller, and constriction opposite the hotel is happening, so we stayed. This hotel does not have a vibe. The lobby area is dull. I hope it will change after the renovation because I did like all the people working there, and I want this property to prosper.

    The hotel's location is fantastic, it is only 2-3 mins walk to either Gulhane or Sirkeci tram stations. Staff is super friendly, and nothing is ever much of a trouble for them. They are always ready to answer any question and extend help. You can get a local sim from the reception with plenty of data at a reasonable price. Breakfast was OK, you won't go hungry, and there is some amazing orange jam that you must try. Restaurant staff are superb, very attentive and pleasant. They prepare yummy eggs and omelette. The beds are very comfortable. The bathroom is perfectly hermetically sealed, not a drop outside shower area. The shower was great too, hot water comes immediately. Amenities are plenty and smell nice.. There are a lot of eateries and small grocery shops nearby the hotel, very convenient. Please note that there is no water provided in the room, but a kettle and cups are available. Rooms are rather small, but it was OK as the majority of the time we were outdoors.

    The walls were very thin and, unfortunately we could hear all the noises from the neighbors. Another thing I didn’t find pleasant, was the fact that the hotel was in renovation, and every day we heard drilling machine noise…

    Location it’s very good if you want to be near the historical attractions. The staff was very nice and helpful!

    Slightly dated decor, room temperature control non existent and the pillows are not firm enough for an adult. (I am being picky on all these things)

    The staff were friendly and helpful and attended to our concerns promptly. The room cleaning lady was great too as she waited for us every day. Superb breakfast served. We have stayed here before and will do again on our next visit.

    Decent hotel in excellent location - everything is just "a step away" - tram, ferries, buses, main tourists attractions and all kinds of places to grab food - either local supermarket or a fancy restaurant. Though there is so much around - including restaurants working late into the night - it is not a "party" zone; and the tram is on parallel street - so it is not a noisy place for a city center. The hotel itself was decent, the staff was really helpful and nice, breakfast good and plentiful; rooms well sized, decent windows, central conditioning and a bath, not only shower :) They even have a pool in the basement. There is only one "kind of but" - the hotel is past its prime and the good news - renovation is planned and it hopefully will be done for next season (2024 as we heard).

    The card reader on the door was tryckt. You have to be lucky and slide uppåt card several times to open the door. The reception asked to keep the card away from mobile phone and other cards, but that didn't help. If course the reception helped with the card when needed, but it's annoying each time.

    Friendly staff, great location with good access, ok breakfast.

    Breakfast buffet not enough hot dishes and omelet service starts at 7.45 while the Breakfast starts at 7 a.m. There's something not aligned here. Food in the vicinity of this hotel is expensive. Just walk a few metres away and you'll gett good affordable food.

    It's near to all historical sites and easily accessible
