Great location and Very comfortable

We had a pretty good stay. The apartament is really small buy Very new, comfortable and clean. The air-conditioning is perfect and the shower is one of the best ever. The lighting in the Room is special. The only issue was the loud music from the neigboring bar until late night. Location is also great.

Otelin konumu oldukça merkezi ve ulaşımı kolay. Ancak İstiklal Caddesi’nin gürültüsü gece rahatsız edici olabiliyor, odaların yalıtımının iyi olduğunu düşünmeme rağmen… Oda hakkında tek olumsuz yorumum duş başlığının kırık olmasıydı, onun dışında otelden gayet memnun kaldığımı söyleyebilirim. Eğer Taksim tarafında kalmayı düşünüyorsanız bu oteli gönül rahatlığıyla tercih edebilirsiniz.

Fiyat performans olarak standart. Oda ve banyo temiz. Beklentiyi çok yüksek tutmamak gerekiyor. Konum olarak istiklal caddesinin merkezinde. Odada kettle ve çay-kahve setup yok bu da hemen alt katında kahve şubesinin olmasından kaynaklı sanırım. 1 yıldızı banyodaki delik havluya istinaden eksik verdimolmasından kaynaklı sanırım. Klimala

Sabah 8 de housekeeping odaya girdi hangi otelde sabahın o saatinde temizlik yapılır. Saçma sapan işler ben bir daha konaklamam konaklamak isteyenlere de tavsiyem odanızı kilitleyin. Yada gidin daha profesyonel işletilen bir yerde konaklayın.

Mükemmel

Otel her şeyden önce konumu dolayısı ile tercih sebebi, onun dışında gerek odalar oldukça bitişik olmasına rağmen ses yalıtımı, oda temizliği ve banyodaki malzemelerin kalitesi bence çok iyiydi. Biz geceyi Taksim'de geçireceğimiz için sadece tek gece konakladık ve hiç pişman olmadık.
