The property was clean, featured lovely design; I loved it. Exceptionally comfortable bed in the queen room, plus central heating, a safe box and multi-channel TV. I came here for 3 nights and had a great stay.

    The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They provided excellent customer service and were always willing to assist with any queries or requests. The location of the hotel was also convenient, with key attractions and restaurants within easy walking distance. Additionally, the rooms were clean and comfortable, ensuring a pleasant stay.

    The hotel lacked proper maintenance and repairs. The hallway carpets were in poor condition, with visible signs of wear and tear.

    The venue was set in the central position short walk to a train station, Blue Mosque and main attractions. I had some drinks at Red River Pub, positioned 400 metres away. Actually everything was perfect, my next choice again in Istanbul.

    The hotel staff was extremely bad.

    From the minute I walked through the door, I was greeted by friendly staff who catered to my every need. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, providing a relaxing environment. The breakfast spread was absolutely delicious, offering a wide variety of options. The hotel's location was perfect, surrounded by restaurants and just a short walk away from the tram station. I even got upgraded to a better room without any extra cost. The facilities to store luggage were convenient for exploring other cities. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely book this hotel again.

    The staff were beautiful and food was good. Brand-new, non-smoking room and reasonably priced. Ideal location to beyazit square.

    Wi-Fi was quite slow, made me a little nervous.

    Brilliant and fairly clean place to stay in. Its location at a moderate distance from a Grand bazaar was top. You could walk to shops and convenience stores...

    Unfortunately Wi-Fi was a bit slow.

The room was clean and well-appointed, and the hotel provided excellent room service. I would certainly recommend this hotel to other travelers.

    The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring the city, with all the major tourist attractions within walking distance. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with plenty of information and assistance during our stay. We also enjoyed the variety of food offered at the breakfast buffet.

    The WiFi was unreliable during our stay, which was frustrating. The double room we stayed in was on the smaller side, with limited storage space for clothes.

    The hotel's location is unbeatable, being close to major attractions and the city center. It's situated next to the tram line and near the Blue Mosque, making it easy to explore the city. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making guests feel welcomed. Additionally, the rooms are clean and come with comfortable bathrobes for guests to wear.

    The breakfast options were a bit lacking and didn't offer much variety.

    I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. The location was perfect, as it was close to major attractions and within walking distance of the Sirkeci Marmara station. The hotel was also near a park, which was great for my morning runs. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was well-maintained with fresh towels provided daily. The staff provided excellent service and were always helpful. The breakfast had a wide variety of options and the view from the lobby was pleasant. I had a great stay at this hotel.

    The interior of the rooms could use a touch-up, as some parts appeared to be oldish.

    This place has a great location! It is situated in a pedestrianised street with lots of restaurants around. It is near popular attractions like the blue mosque, aya sophia and topkapi palace. We were able to walk to many of the sights, making it very convenient. The staff at the reception desk were friendly and helpful, always trying to assist us even if they didn't understand our requests. The room amenities were great, with everything we needed including an ironing facilities and a mini-bar. The hotel also had a swimming pool, which was a nice bonus. The free Wi-Fi was also a plus.

    We highly recommend this hotel to others because of its great location and excellent service.

    The front desk service at this hotel was excellent. They were very accommodating and helpful, and quickly changed my room when it didn't meet my cleanliness standards. The staff, including the receptionists and the breakfast man, were friendly and spoke good English. The hotel is centrally located, within a 7-10 minute walk to major attractions like Hagia Sophia, the Bosphorus, and the spice and grand bazaars. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds, and the WC facilities were excellent.

    Felt looked after, nothing was too much trouble.

    We loved the central location of the hotel, which was close to everything. It was within walking distance of the most famous attractions and very close to a train station that we didn't have to take a taxi to. The hotel's proximity to the center of all city transportation made it very easy for us to explore the city. Moreover, we enjoyed the big breakfast buffet every morning, and the staff was incredibly attentive.

    Nothing to fault; this hotel was perfect for our stay.
