This hotel is all about the location. It is in the center of Kadikoy, with countless restaurants, bars, and cafes within a few minutes walk. Somehow, despite all the life right outside the building, the rooms were very quiet. It is just a few minutes walk to the metro, multiple ferries, a massive bus station, and the havaist-14 bus that goes directly to / from the IST airport.
The entry way / lobby is unimpressive and gives a backpacker hotel / hostel vibe. However, the actual rooms are spotless and relatively spacious, albeit simple.
The breakfast buffet is more than sufficient. Compared to other places where we stayed, it was a bit simpler, but there are numerous options with some variation from day to day.
Staff are helpful and friendly in a laid-back sort of way.
