The hotel does not look like on the picture. There is no lobby anymore since there are 3 ATMs stuffed into the entrance and everything looks much older. Still, what you get for the money is okay. The room was clean, but a bit small and pretty loud (we were in the cellar). Wifi is fast and reliable. The bathroom looked pretty new. Our room was not cleaned once in 5 days, but I think they would clean it if we would ask them.

Camera abbastanza pulita, personale super gentile e disponibile, avevamo l'aereo cancellato e visto che non potevano rimborsarci la notte persa ci hanno dato la camera all'ultimo piano con vista sulla città, ci hanno prenotato loro il taxi per l'aereoporto a un prezzo molto inferiore e ci hanno offerto caffé e té prima di partire, super soddisfatta

The employees, everyone from receptionist to housekeeping, were very friendly and nice. We felt very welcome from start to end. Warm, welcoming and very service minded staff who were always ready to help no matter what you needed. The hotel location is fantastic. Restaurants, bars, all kinds of shops right nearby. We had a great time. Can highly recommend.

Good location, very basic hotel.

The price already indicated that this is a basic hotel. We had no expectations. We came in after midnight and had a appointment at 10 so we just needed to sleep and a quick shower so it was ok. The location is very good and there is a kiosk and some cafes right a cross the road. The bathroom itself and the sink in particular is really small.

1 night stay. Ideal if you want to just get to the main tourist sites. People were friendly and approachable. Beds were comfortable. We were given duvets and there was a kettle which is handy if you need to make formula for baby. Shower was nice.

La ubicación perfecta, a 7 minutos de mezquita azul. El personal muy amable y muy atentos. Incluso un día el propietario nos llevó a Taksim totalmente desinteresado. Muchas opciones de restauración por la zona. Zona muy ruidosa y negativamente la limpieza durante las 5 noches alojados nos nos hicieron la habitación ningún día.

Honest review! The room and location are really good but what give us a bad experience was the owners and people that work there. When I First arrived to check in I have been greeted with lack of respect or care in the world, I got told that the room isn’t ready yet and to come back in a hour or 2 after Check in time, 40 Minutes later they managed to give us a room which in all fairness was good and clean. We stayed there for 3 nights they never once cleaned our room or changed towels and once I asked for new towels I got told rudely to wait until the morning and ask again as it was late. Other then the owners and the son bring so Rude and careless and the fact that they don’t bother cleaning the room once you pay for it then it’s a Ok holte

Das Bett war Bretthart, aus der Badlüftung lief Wasser aus der Decke direkt auf den Klodeckel. Das Telefon im Zimmer hatte keine Funktion, alle Zimmer waren die Telefone ohne Funktion. Kein Fahrstuhl. Sehr hellhörig und sehr laut in der Nacht. Unser Zimmer ging zu einem Mini Innenhof mit Notausgang die Tür war undicht und verstärkte die allgemeine Lautstärke. Kein Service beim Empfang. Laufen Bergauf war schrecklich auf dauer um zur bahn oder Bus zu kommen, geschrieben wurde es liegt direkt haha das stimmt leider gar nicht. Nie wieder

The hotel is within walking distance of many of the activities and the staff were very helpful and kind. They helped us get a shuttle to the airport and made sure we get there on time. The place is cozy and the beds are comfortable. There are no elevator for those who have hard time with stairs.
