Excellent hotel and great value

Great location, very friendly staff. The hotel was very clean and had a great breakfast selection although those expecting a full English will be disappointed but they cater to the international traveller. Extremely good value for money. The location is also excellent upon arrival our concerns where it may be noises however the room was extremely quiet and great air con too. Would definitely return.

I really enjoyed my stay! The location was perfect — very central and easily accessible to all the main attractions in Istanbul, whether on foot or by public transport. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. A special shoutout to Emin, Mert, and Nihat — they truly went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their kindness and professionalism made a big difference. The price was also very reasonable for the quality of service and location, which made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul, and I’d happily stay here again!

Nice hotel - noisy main street

The hotel is really nice and the staff is friendly but I stayed in two separate rooms, both facing the main street and you’ll need ear plugs for sleeping for the ones on the upper floors. Breakfast is delicious.

Great quality-price service

i had a positive experience. great location, the rooms are a bit small but it's something in common with all the other hotels around taksim. fully renovated, very comfortable beds, great breakfast, and in the middle of the hustle and bustle. the rooms are quiet thanks to the very thick windows.

PROS -Hotel is nicely decorated, they gave us a beverage upon check-in and communication was great between us and the hotel -Rooftop room was spacious and we surprisingly never hit our heads on any beams -Great location for shopping CONS -Bed was supposed to be a king, but it was not. It was bigger than a queen but it was an odd size. -Bathroom/shower area was VERY small. Could barely turn around inside the bathroom. Water leaked out from the shower into the toilet area. Detachable shower head was broken and had a leak between the handle and where the hose connected so it never worked. Smallest bathroom I've ever seen -Hotel did arrange our airport transfers but never let us know that it would need to be cash only when departing for our outbound flight the next morning. They did work with us but it would have been great to know this in advance since our transportation leaving for the airport was at 5 AM. -NOISE! Noise from the street below continued well into the night and this was on a weekday. It was mostly music from somewhere on the street (we were on the 5th floor) and it did keep me up throughout the night. -Rooftop terrace doesn't have too great of a view, but I expected that. The tiles could be cleaner out there.
