Perfect location close to attractions. It was a little hard to find as the sign was not very big, but location was perfect. Breakfast was absolutely amazing!!! Staff was friendly and let us check in early as our room was ready early. Definitely recommend. Location is far from the airport you will need to Uber/cab it there. Hotel offers 50 euro transportation. Using metro can take 2hrs with transfers. We opted for Uber (most users are cabs). Location and breakfast was most important to us and air conditioning. This place was perfect. We booked two rooms because we have older kids. The had two rooms connected with a locking door (very nice to have that). Highly recommend this hotel!!!

I had a great stay at this charming hotel. While it’s not very big, it was incredibly accommodating and had everything I needed. The staff were outstanding—special thanks to Yaseen and Zulfiye, who were especially helpful and friendly throughout my stay. Their warm hospitality really made a difference. The breakfast was a highlight—fresh, tasty, and a perfect start to the day. The location is also fantastic, literally right next to the trams, which made getting around so convenient. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

I really loved staying here and will come back next time in Turkey. The staff were wonderful!! They made being there really easy and were helpful in everything even arranging my taxi to the airport. The woman who does the massage and hammam was excellent.. I would totally recommend her. It was a great location… an easy walk to all of the main attractions.. and excellent restaurants just a step out of the door. My favourite was breakfast on the terrace and incredible view of the mosques…It was lovely being there!
