Excellent stay. Would specifically like to thank the friendly lady who reset our room daily and always greeted us kindly whenever we crossed her in the hallway. Excellent location in vibrant Karakoy.

This hotel is in an excellent location. Service was good, but there was too much of an effort by staff to recommend bookings for hamam, dining and the like. Hotel is a bit dark overall.

James, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good place to stay! Friendly staff. Had to make a couple calls to the desk for items that should have been in the room. They left the amenities a mystery we had to figure out as we went. Other than that it was nice!

2/10 Poor

No hot water, soiled bed sheet, bracken coffee maker no air conditioning room was very hot i complained that the ac didn't work they told me to open the very small window.ithe only good thing was the breakfast. And the location
elviro, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Immediately upon arrival, the toilet malfunctioned. I was there for three days and there was no fix. But what’s worse is they did not give me a discount. Disappointing. The breakfast was amazing. Room was great otherwise. Amazing location.

2/10 Poor

Staff at the check in not professional and needs to be friendly
Malek, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location and close to attractions and tram. The Wifi is very slow and almost not workable so I have to use my cell data to connect to the internet. Also the taxi the hotel booked for me overcharged me to the airport. When I booked the taxi the front desk told me the charge will be a flat rate at 750 Lira (about $26) but when the driver dropped me off at the airport he asked for $35. I had to catch the flight and had no choice but paid him money. that is not honest and the hotel should not hire the taxi company.
john, 1-night trip

Uncomfortable

Room is super small. My friend paid for the exact same room $105, but I was charged $192. This made me very angry. On top of that the room was freezing and they could not control the air conditioner. Very small room to walk. Bathroom super small and uncomfortable. They didn't even had a transformer. Definitely paid too much for this hotel I feel robbed.
Elsie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was like a horror movie. The room had plumbing problems and it was smelling disgusting, almost impossible to breath. When we contacted to front desk, they told us they don't have any other room available. We asked for a refund and they told us we need to contact expedia about a refund (ofcourse, expedia never refunds). When we were in the room, we realized there is blood stain on the sheets and they replaced the sheets. We couldn't sleep a single minute and it was the worst experience of my life. Now, neither hotel nor expedia is not willing to refund. Definitely not recommending this place to anyone.
Ersin, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I stayed with my boyfriend last week and personally we would not recommend the hotel. We booked a "tiny room" because we didn't even know what it looked like as there are no photos of the "tiny room" on the website. There were a lot of photos to see of all the other rooms - that's what excited us. Every day we asked the front desk if we could get a new room because it was just hard to move. We were then always told a time when we would get a new room (which was just a lie). We were willing to pay for a new room but never got a new one. On the 2nd day we wanted to change the hotel completely, but this was not possible because we would hardly get our money back. So we suffered with our room until the 4th day. What is also weird is that you have to call 3-4 times to get an iron. We were promised an iron and still didn't get it, so we went into town and when we came back it was about 4 a.m. and suddenly there was an iron in our room - although we were very overwhelmed, because normally no one should be in just walk into our room and put something down.

HORRIBLE - NOT WORTH THE MONEY. HORRIBLE STAFF

I was placed in a VERY small room suitable for 1 person and not 2. Plus with a small window where we did not know if it was daylight or night time the room was approx. 10 square meters. When I asked to change the room the man in the reception said I got what I have paid for which is standard room. When I showed my hotels.com description where it said 17 square meter. He answered that all rooms were booked except for the suite and I had to pay the difference. I insisted that I wanted the size of room that was in the description, but nothing was too be done. HORRIBLE SERVICE. The dinning area was so dusty that I asked the staff to come and clean before we could eat. The first evening at the hotel before going to bed I saw that the sheets were dirty I asked the reception for a change, they were so delayed that I had to call them because we were tired of waiting and wanted to sleep. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE AND TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU GET. BETTER HOTELS ARE TO BE FOUND FOR THAT PRICE IN ISTANBUL. YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU HAVE PAID FOR.
