I loved this hotel, right in the center square with the train station practically next door, easy for transport to tram, metro, buses, water taxis. Shops so many restaurants and cafes, the area is so friendly. Breakfast was simple but very nice. Rooms were spotless. Very modern . Massive balcony (that has to be booked) I would definitely stay there again.

This hotel was more than I expected! Overall, enjoyed my week there. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Going the extra mile at times to assist. Having breakfast included was great to get the day started. Its not a wide variation, but its a good and tasty selection. The train transport line is right around the corner. What I appreciated greatly is that secuirty is present late at night and early mornings at the train station. There are restaurants nearby - literally right outside the door. I would definitely stay here again on my trip back to Turkey.

This hotel has good location. I review it as poor because of two things. First was the unfriendly front desk staffs (an older guy even turned his back on us instead of opening the door for us when he saw us at the entrance). Second thing was a badly coughing woman worked in kitchen served breakfast for two mornings of our stay. I then got the virus and coughed my head off during my rest trip in Turkey. She was sick so shouldn’t serve food.

The location was easy walking distance to everything, be it the waterfront, tram or major sights. There is a neighborhood feeling and hundreds of dining opportunities. The staff is friendly, helpful and efficient, they will help with information about your surroundings and even give you a decent map to find your way around as well as arranging airport transfer. breakfast was pleantiful and on par with other Istanbul hotels. The beds were comfortable and our room had a terrace which allowed us to sit and enjoy a beverage at the end of the day while we watched and listened to the wonderful city of Istanbul around us. The only hiccup for us was that the hotel was fully booked, I move a lot when I sleep and for some reason the availability of full size sheets was limited as a result our (extremely comfortable) bed was dressed with 2 twin sheets horizontally as the bottom sheet which left me wound up under the sheets in the mornings not a big deal but a bit of a head scratcher. A small inconvenience for a great hotel at a reasonable price

A quite small hotel located in between Grand Bazaar and Kumpaki metro station. It’s clean, with basic hotel room, providing standard breakfast, only disadvantage is don’t have AC but have hot heat fan. We went in April 2025, although it was cold, at night it got hot and had to have windows open.

Decent hotel, you get what you pay for!

Decent hotel and a short walk from Sultanahmet mosque as well as the Grand Bazaar. Some parts around the hotel look dubious but good restaurants at a short walk. Nevertheless, felt safe walking at night. Room was warm and not to our liking since the central heating was on though temperatures outside was 12C+ but that just comes down to individual preferences. Main issue was the wi-fi which didn’t work for the first few hours and then kept dropping after the IP address configuration was manually entered (with help from the reception). Ultimately, figured out that the issue was due to everyone being given the same IP address information by the reception leading to IP address conflict! Fixed it by using a slightly different IP address

Fiyatına göre gayet güzel hizmet

Kumkapı bölgesinde olması nedeniyle gece güvenlik ve gürültü endişemiz vardı. Ancak bu endişelerimizin yersiz olduğunu anladık. Çok yakında gürültülü mekanlar olmasına rağmen gayet rahat bir konaklama oldu. Otelin 50m yakınında banliyö treni istasyonu var ve rahatlıkla Sirkeci 'ye erişilebiliyor. Tarihi yarımadaya ise 15 dakika yürüme ile ulaşabiliyorsunuz. Bence fiyat performans noktasında çok iyi bir tercih. Sınıfına ve fiyatına göre gayet güzel hizmet veriyor.
