The hotel’s rooms are super small. We rented one for three people we hardly could fit. Besides the sheets of the beds were not super clean and we could find some long hair when we checked in. The blankets were thin and coarse and were not warming us enough. The neighborhood is very noisy and the windows do not block the noise. The only good thing about the hotel was nice staff.

CONFORT - PAS CHER - QUARTIER POPULAIRE

C'est la 2ème fois que je viens dans cet hôtel, car très satisfait la 1ère fois en famille. L'hôtel est en pleins quartier populaire Il y a des petites épiceries juste en bas et à - de 10min à pied du métro et du tram T1, on peux aller partout sur Istanbul. Métro M1a station Yenikapi ou tram T1 station AKSARAY Si vous être plusieurs je conseille la navette de l'hôtel pour ne pas se faire avoir et plus de confort (50€). L'hôtel à une petite façade discrète mais on est agréablement surpris du confort et de l'espace par rapport au quartier. Le petit déjeuner est bien et local avec du sucré et du salé. Pas besoin de manger le midi et cela permet un goûté l'après-midi typique sucré ou salé dans mon escapade touristique. Le personnel et le patron de l'hôtel est vraiment très bien et discret voir timide mais très serviable. Je vais 2 à 3 fois sur Istanbul par an depuis 14 ans et vous pouvez payer 3 fois plus cher pour moins bien. J'étais seul et ma chambre était faite tous les jours avec changement de serviettes. Le wifi cette fois était moyen bien mais cela dépend de la chambre, mais j'avais ma sim carte. Cependant tout n'est pas parfait ce n'est pas un hôtel de hyper luxe mais attention avec de belles prestations pour le prix. Il faut toujours avoir cela en tête. Pour ceux qui cherche la simplicité, le confort, un endroit stratégique et pas cher pour se loger avec une bonne literie et parcourir tout Istanbul facilement cet hôtel est pour vous.

Otimo custo benefício

Hotel aconchegante, quarto confortável, com frigobar e cafeteira. Ótimo custo benefício! Toda a equipe é muito prestativa e atenciosa. Café da manhã bem diversificado e gostoso. A região próxima ao hotel assusta um pouco a primeira vista apenas, pois é um local bem movimentado, com um forte comércio local, mas nos sentimos bem seguros ao andar por lá até de noite. Boa localização, fácil acesso por vários meios de transporte (metrô, trêm e ônibus), dá para ir a pé (aprox 25 minutos) para os principais pontos turísticos (mesquita Azul, Sofia, Grand Bazar)
