    The location is fantastic, just a two-minute walk to the tram station. the room lacked soundproofing, making it noisy at night.

    communication issue
    housekeeping disruption
    check-in timing

    The welcoming atmosphere is enhanced by genuinely friendly staff, particularly a standout named Kadir who ensured our comfort seamlessly. A highlight was the spacious family room that offered both safety and comfort during our visit. Breakfast featured delightful homemade local products, adding a personal touch to our mornings. communication with housekeeping needs improvement, as they tended to enter without proper notification, disrupting our rest.

    great location but needs more attention to cleanliness

    The location is excellent, close to many attractions. The staff displayed remarkable hospitality, assisting with our needs swiftly. The spa services were outstanding, especially the Turkish bath experience, which was truly relaxing and rejuvenating.

    Some areas in the hotel required better cleanliness and maintenance.

    Perfect Balance of Local Charm and Accessibility

    Situated perfectly near local shops and eateries, this hotel offered a genuine taste of Istanbul. The staff were polite, though a bit reserved. Transportation to the airport was straightforward. For a true local experience, step out and explore both tourist and less-visited areas. Recommended for budget-friendly travelers!
