Dans l'ensemble assez convenable.

Hôtel bien situé proximité des zones commerciales et touristiques. Station métro Aksaray idéal pour visites un plus éloignés du centre telle que l'aquarium aqua florya par exemple. Station de tram à 400m pour visites des coins touristiques sultanhamet, Eminonu pour les tours du bosphore ou visite du côté asiatique. Pour ce qui est hébergement chambre de taille standard avec mini frigo. Petit déjeuner convenable avec un peu plus de choix que certains autres 3 étoiles. Points negatifs, odeurs de tabac dans l'établissement à des étages non fumeur et qui est dû non pas à des clients mais le personnel de l'hôtel fumant dans les couloirs ainsi que certain linge de maison tachés qui ne devrait pas être utilisés.
