Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Room size can feel tight for families — At least one guest noted the room was a bit small once the living area was converted for extra beds, something to weigh up if travelling as a family.
  • Possible street noise — One guest mentioned the room was a bit noisy, so light sleepers may want to pack earplugs or ask for a quieter room.
  • Basement rooms without windows — The economy and two-bedroom apartment categories sit on the basement floor and have no windows, which may not suit everyone.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

“Breakfast had a decent spread and the staff were friendly. The location was convenient, close to all the major tourist attractions. The room had all the basic amenities for a comfortable stay.”

8.2Verified guest

“The location is very central, and the staff speak English and are very kind. The room was a bit noisy but besides that it was great.”

8.2Verified guest

“The manager and staff were outstanding. From cheerfully accommodating a delayed arrival at 2 am because our flight was canceled, to quickly bringing replacement towels, arranging cultural show reservations, and calling cabs. The breakfast terrace with its view of the Marmara was great, and the food was quite good. An easy walk to key tourist sites and good restaurants. The room was a bit small, with the living room turned into a bedroom for my boys, but it was clean and comfortably equipped. A great choice.”

8.2Verified guest

“This hotel is an absolute gem. The rooms are like little apartments, with separate living areas, bedrooms, and even kitchen facilities. Incredible value for money, especially considering the prices in the area. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and the location is safe and convenient. Breakfast on the terrace with its great view is a delightful way to start the day.”

8.2Verified guest

“Breakfast was good – a very good selection, available the whole morning. The studio room was a reasonable size, with a seating area, and I was upgraded to a studio with a large balcony. Nice matching furniture. The whole hotel seems to be after refurbishment. Cold water is available at the reception. Staff were quite helpful.”

8.2Verified guest

“I really liked the hotel staff – they were very friendly and did their best to make our stay pleasant. I would definitely stay here again when I return to Istanbul.”
