Frankly, I'm not some "hotel freak" and most time I'm staying in average hotels (3-4 stars) but this was one of the worse. I would like to begin and end with something positive so I'd said that location of hotel is great. Hotel is in Fatih part of town, tram is in vicinity, and that is tram from airport Ataturk... More

Hotel was ok, good value for price and very nice location. Rooms clean and spacious, the bath tub was rather in poor condition, and the matress was rather uncomfortable, but ok. Good location, 10 min by car from Taksim square, 30 min walking distance. Lots of restaurants, very lively neighbourhood, we felt very safe walking during the night. Wifi was... More

Stayed here with a friend in August this year. The hotel was ok very good value for price paid. Fairly well located but a good 20 mins in the heat of the day to the major tourist hot spots. Some restaurants nearby but not masses of choice and if you walk back to the tourist areas the restaurants are expensive.... More

If you want to stay short in Istanbul, and to visit main historical locations, this hotel is good choice. It is nice and clean, breakfast is ok, but service is poor. When I have visited it, staff was very unprofessional. I headr that they have renovated it, I just hope they renovated staff too.

Stayed here on a four night city break in November 2010. The reception is relatively small and the staff were not very friendly. The rooms are in need of refurbishment and do lack size. We had a room with a single and smallish double bed. Room facilities include a small turkish only TV, minibar, luggage rack and A/C (No safe).... More
