U can walk to Hagia Sophia or to Kadikoy promenade (half hour by slow walk). Rooms are very small and crew is specific, but everyone are very friendly and... More

I was left sitting in the lobby nearly two hours before being told my room had been overbooked (I booked some 6 months ago). The manager took me to the nearby Sirin Palas hotel which had a very down market reception area, but he assured me my room was every bit as good as the one at his hotel. This... More

We were 4 (one in a single bedroom and 3 in a triple) but the day we arrived the hotel claimed that the single bedroom reservation has been declined (not even an email recieved until that moment) and due to the fact that...

I booked this hotel in January, confirmed my booking three weeks before we were due to stay there. I was already away when I received an e-mail saying the reservation was cancelled, as the hotel was closed for renovation. This e-mail was clearly sent to a number of others. They made no effort to find alternative accommodation for us, when... More

Good value for price, I had a small single room, all basics were covered. The room, at the back of the hotel, faced the railway station, and was close to Sirkeci metro stop. If you don't have heavy luggage, you can take the metro to the airport, thus saving money! Breakfast included, and typical of such hotels in Istanbul: more... More

We were booked this hotel, received a confirmation. Suddenly, some days later, we received a letter from hotel that sounds something like "we are really sorry, but we decided to renovate our hotel so cancel your booking"! I think that respectable and good-service hotels never make such action!!! Please, think before make a reservation in that hotel!
