The men at the front desk are so helpful! They helped me get my bags up the stairs when I arrived and back down when I left. I didn't like my room and they gave me a better one. Lovely all around. Thanks

More or less, but in a nice location.
Just plain old normal. The hotel is between good quality and dilapidated. The location is great, the staff is nice, the hotel has seen better days. It is a bit expensive but I get the feeling that, in Istanbul at the moment, if you do not pay a decent amount, you will get very low quality.

The WORST hotel experience, the room was terrible! We booked a room for four nights in July 2022, but my wife and I could stay there only for one night! We trusted the pictures and reviews, but the room was really small, with no space for two luggage! The room was not well serviced; it had very, very dirty carpets, small pieces of toilet paper on the carpets, the bathroom trash can was broken, the shower water faucet hook was broken, and the shower drain was clogged! No breakfast and dining service! We found another hotel in the same neighborhood with much better value and service!

The price did not match the quality. Pros: safe area staff are helpful. Cons :the building is very old, The rooms are tiny tiny spaces you barely can sleep and 3 steps to the door and thats it, they have bigger rooms but they the ones in pictures. Cleanliness: the carpet is very dirty sheets were alright Bathroom was not big literally i cant spread my arms or i will touch both walls. As I discovered the area filled with better quality hotel same rating and much cheaper but for some reason they dont show on expedia, try booking dottcom. The staff were nice and helpful I guess the place can be better If they spend more money on the building like more lights in the Stairwell and fix the broken stairs ( be careful when using th3m) It was good for short stay two days.

The hotel is situated very close to many of the landmarks in the area, while still being a relatively quiet place. The hotel is also very reachable using almost all forms of transport. The only disadvantages were that some of the finishings in the hotel were less than expected (minor leaks from pipes, loose nails and screws), and that the hotel is almost impossible to access for those on a wheelchair.

Amazing Location
The hotel is in a great location, close to all tourist attractions and amazing for night outs. The customer service from the reception staff (Serhat and Bilal) is wonderful. They’re super friendly and helpful. The only issue is that the rooms are a little outdated and need a little fresh if up! The shower was clogged up and the water would not drain properly which made taking shower difficult as it would overflow. I definitely recommend this hotel and with a little work in the rooms and fixing shower, it would be an exceptional place to stay!
