Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located near the local transport system and boasts a very friendly staff. However, the rooms are small and lack natural light, and the dining experience is below average. The best feature is its proximity to tram and metro stations connecting to popular spots like Taxim square and Beyoglu.
The hotel had a convenient location with easy access to the tram and metro, making it great for leisure travelers. The room I stayed in was comfortable, but being in the basement was a bit of a downside. The service was friendly and helpful, despite a small incident at 4 am. The dining experience was below average with limited options, but the fresh local fish was a highlight.
