Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were of good size for single occupancy and the location was great, but maintenance is needed for showers, fridge, and painting. The pricing was higher than expected, with an additional daily charge for extra beds.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, near the metro and tram, which was very convenient. However, the noise from the boulevard outside my room was bothersome despite my request for a quieter area. The hotel rooms were comfortable and pleasant, with the executive room being particularly quiet and clean.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though quite spacious and comfortable, faced a main road, making them quite noisy. I found the room design a bit odd, and cleanliness could have been better. On the bright side, the service was a bit of a rollercoaster with very helpful and lovely staff but an unpleasant incident with room entry even with a 'do not disturb' sign. The facilities were good overall, but with some room for improvement.
The hotel rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and clean, with a great bathroom featuring excellent amenities. However, there was a strong smell of smoke in the room. The price of the rooms was higher than comparable options in the area.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were beautifully spacious and impeccably clean, with a lovely design. The staff provided excellent service, especially Helin; they were so kind and accommodating. The location was superb, right by the metro station and close to various attractions. The dining experience was delightful, offering a wide variety of fresh options. I was thoroughly impressed by this hotel despite a few minor flaws.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice, modern, and spacious, with complimentary fruit dishes that added a nice touch. However, the location was a bit far from the attractions, and the dining area could be expanded to accommodate more guests. The service, especially from guest relations Bouchra Salem and the manager, was exceptional, making our stay pleasant by going above and beyond to assist us.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were super clean and quiet, filled with lots of amenities, though the view from my room was not ideal. The night sounds could get a bit bothersome at times, but overall, it was a comfortable experience.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms and friendly service. While the location is convenient with local amenities nearby, the dining options may be limited. Overall, good value for money.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall, with some minor drawbacks. The rooms were nice enough, but the blanket provided was too small for my liking. Being located on the 5th floor with a low ceiling was slightly inconvenient, especially given the small size of the room. The hotel seemed a bit overwhelmed by a large tour group during my visit.
The hotel room was of good size for single occupancy and the location was great. While the room was said to be soundproof, unfortunately, the doors did not provide complete sound isolation, as I could vividly hear a toddler crying in the corridor. However, the hotel is conveniently located close to a subway station, making it very near everything you might want to visit.
I had a mix of experiences during my stay. The rooms were very clean and tidy, but unfortunately, they were quite small which made my 7 nights a bit uncomfortable. The bed and shower were comfortable, yet the noise levels resulted in sleepless nights that left me feeling disappointed.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with very comfortable beds and superb air conditioning, but the rooms are not very clean. The service from the reception team is exceptional, with staff that are super kind, extremely helpful, and friendly. The location is very convenient, close to metro stations and within walking distance of the city center and main attractions. The dining experience, although varied, can be improved in terms of taste for a 5-star rating.
The hotel surprised me with a room that could accommodate three adults, which was a lovely surprise. It was cozy and of good size for single occupancy, situated in a great location. The only downside was being close to the staff elevator, resulting in some early morning noises.
The hotel exceeded our expectations with its clean and spacious rooms, but we had a minor issue during check-in. The service was exceptional, especially from the attentive and welcoming staff. The location was perfect for exploring Old Istanbul, though a bit far from lively areas. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of delicious options. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
