I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was absolutely perfect—just a few steps from Taksim Square, making it super convenient to explore the city. The breakfast was amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options every morning. The hotel itself felt very comfortable and cozy, and the price was really reasonable for everything you get. I’d definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great location, tasty breakfast, and a budget-friendly stay. 🌟

They upgraded us to a 5 star hotel for one night as there was a fire alarm issue at the hotel. They also gave us free dinner and free breakfast every morning. Staff on the front desk were very helpful getting us cheaper cab ride to helping us navigate Istanbul. Rooms were decent size, very clean.
