Reviews
Facilities: Fully equipped, has everything you need.
Cleanliness: Good. The best value for money!! I didn't expect a hotel to be so affordable after visa-free entry. It's also very close to Taksim Square, very convenient for the surrounding area.
The staff is polite and attentive. All questions and requests were resolved quickly! A special thank you to the cleaning staff (a very pleasant Russian woman, unfortunately, I didn't get her name).
The standard room is small and tired. Especially the bathroom. There's a rather strong smell—either from the sewer or from the ventilation somewhere... I had to buy an air freshener and use it frequently.
The bed is quite comfortable, the linens are nice and clean. The curtains in the room are thick and protect you from the flickering sign of the neighboring hotel outside the window. The windows are sturdy and do a good job of blocking out the music from the nearby nightclub.
The outlet at the head of the bed only works when the nightlight is on, meaning you can't sleep or charge your phone. Unless, of course, you unscrew the lightbulb 😉
Overall, the hotel is not bad. It'll do for a couple of nights. But of course, there's no talk of any 4* rating.

It is a perfect place to stay if you want to be in the centre of the city.
Even the bathroom was so small
The bed was so tiny we couldn’t sleep normally with the stres if we fall to the ground in the middle of night.
The staff wasn’t friendly at all
The breakfast wasn’t tasty and it didn’t have option to choice
The walls were very thin we heard every noise outside our room
And this place was like burdelo there were a line of men’s waiting to get massage by two women’s
I can say that is not a place to go with your family
The only good thing was the internet
And that this motel was in the city center
Overall maximum grade.
For perfectionists you will probably always find many disadvantages, but if you want a hotel placed in a very good area, with a very good breakfast buffet, at a very good price and with a staff worthy of appreciation - I highly recommend this hotel.
I've been here for 3 days and I'll stay a few more days.
One mistake on the part of the receptionist (For which I have all the respect and I give it the highest grade for kindness) was that he passed me the POS payment note in Turkish lira instead of the euro conversion and initially I paid much less than I should have to pay.
They checked later and it was fixed immediately.
All respect for the reception and the people in the kitchen.
I read several reviews before choosing this hotel and many of the negative reviews are not true. The hotel has been renovated and is still being refurbished.
Grade 10 from me. I am convinced that the staff does everything possible to make you feel at home. 🇹🇷🇹🇩
