The restaurant is only open for breakfast in the morning.My room (number 112) situated by the side of the hotel just above a busy,noisy road... More

The hotel is close to the main street with the tramway that leads to most important sightseeings. Quality corresponds to a 3* hotel. Rooms and corridors seem to be refurbished but bathrooms are broken down. Although rooms are small, but nicely furnished, beds are especially comfortable. Even the backside of the hotel is noisy during the night, music stops aroud... More

Location; Not good, noisy, very little local information from staff in the hotel, not only they are NOT helpful to the guest, they charge extorsion charges for services like airport transfer. They do not deliver what is arranged with them. Very unprofessional as far as hotel services are concerned. I never have had experience of such a low level of... More

I could honestly say that its location is terrible in a seedy part of town and we encountered all kinds of weirdos on the street. The nearby main road has dozens of restaurants serving international and Turkish cuisines, expect a lot of pressure from restaurants to convince you to come in, which I hated the most. The hotel looks rather... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in October. The rooms were small and dark but I got an outside room so I am guessing the inside rooms were smaller and darker. I would expect a lot higher standard for the price we were paying. The receptionists while not un-helpful were not efficient and took forever to do the smallest task.... More

We traveled to Turkey as part of a group, so had no say in the hotels we were put in. I would not have picked this one based on Trip Advisor reviews - which I have to say were by and large correct.

I liked Istanbul but next time sure will not go back to this hotel. The room was very small, the sauna and turkish bath too expensive (10 USD per hor/person). On their website there was a promotion offer for free Airport transfer if you stay 5 nights... the staff "do not know anything about it"... So, look around first, there... More
