Rooms are not big and bathrooms are too tiny, food is not exceptional yet rooms are clean on time and service is very fast, plus the location is quiet exceptional close to subway, bus station, plenty of taxis around and a walking distance from Isteklal Cad which is even better more

the hotel was below my expectations. I think management needs to improve customer service and the way they treat customers. It seemed like most of the customers who stay are one time visitors or tourists who will probably never come again, so they dont really care to maintain them.
