La ubicacion es excelente, a unos minutos de las atracciones principales de Estambu, ademas que el area es muy segura y hay muchos restaurantes, cafeterias, y tienditas al rededor, La habitacion que reservamos (Junior Suit) tiene muy buen tamaño con vista al mar.. muy agradable... Podrian mejorar el desayuno bufet pero igual esta bien... si regreso si me quedaria de nuevo en este hotel.

Great location.
Great place walking distance to the major sites and the tram. Good breakfast. A little noisy from outside noise but you are in the city. Very poor shower water pressure. For the price point and location I would definitely recommend this place.

About 50 minutes from the airport (~$40) by taxi. Location is very convenient, walking distance to main attractions. The hotel is very clean and conveniently located. Staff is friendly. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is awesome and you can go upstairs to have it in the patio overlooking the water. Would definitely recommend and come back if travels bring us back there.
