We visited Istanbul with our kids and had an excellent stay. The room was cleaned perfectly every day, and the housekeeping staff were very kind and attentive. The hotel’s transfer service was safe, punctual, and very comfortable for our family.
But most importantly, we want to give special thanks to Front Desk Manager Yiğit Bey. He was exceptionally professional, friendly, and always ready to help. His assistance truly made our family stay much more comfortable.
Thank you to the entire team for providing such wonderful hospitality.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, close to everything
I stayed at this hotel for a month and enjoyed it. The hotel is nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff is very kind. Once I needed help scanning and printing a document for work, and the person at the front desk was able to assist me. The front desk people go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay and give great recommendations. The hotel has a lot of restaurants, cafes, markets, and shoppes along the street and is only 10-15 minutes walking from the Grand Bazaar, closer via taxi/ Uber. The food place on the corner is 24/7, which is wonderful if you’re a night person like me. Also, easy access to the trains and ferries to get to the other parts of Istanbul. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Istanbul!

Small room, nice staff, one outlet to charge and we never found a tv remote so the tv never turned off. It was stuck on Italian tv so I am pretty sure we might be fluent in Italian now. There was mold in the bathroom but the towels were nice. To be honest, we only spent 3 of the 7 nights there because it was so cheap we decided to store our luggage there while we went to Barcelona for 4 nights and it was better and less expensive to leave it there than pay to haul it around. The terrace was not nice, the view was good but the terrace looked like a run down storage area. The cafe right down stairs was nice and convenient but i think the hotel is also a meeting place for tours because sometimes the lobby was extremely crowded. I don’t understand why the ratings and reviews were so high because it was probably the least nice place we have ever stayed. Again, if it matters to you, the hotel staff was very helpful.

I loved my stay in this small but cozy hotel in Istanbul. The owner and the staff are so kind and will help you with everything you need. The room was clean, the hotel is in a central area where everything is a 15-20 min walk; there are many restaurants and small shops to buy cheap; location is excellent. Carib who works at front desk is extremely helpful and will do his best to make your stay pleasant; he can arrange airport transfert and will give you advice. If i ever come back to Istanbul i will stay here again.
