Reviews
Good location - close to Taksim, Golden Horn and public transport hubs.
I'm not sure if it's open as it looked as if restoration is ongoing and there was no one at the ground floor, including reception.
I booked a month before my trip and they confirmed the booking
Then after a while they kept declining saying that the card was declined (even thought I use it internationally on a regular basis), I used another card and they declined.
Now we’re a week before our trip, and it looks like they just canceled our stay because they wanted to reserve the room for somebody else.
Do not waste your time
Edit: both cards in my name and I always use them inside and outside of Turkye, and you can see the level of professionalism of this hotel from their response
They charged the first night (aprox 42eur around 3 weeks ago and tried to charged my card again yesterday eventhough they said that I could t stay in the hotel.
I tried to contact them in booking and never replied.
I tried though WhatsApp and they confirmed they fire incidence and confirmed that I cannot stay in the hotel, but never give a solution on where to stay or when the money would be given back.
Waiting for their response already for 2 days.
I see similar opinions lately, so I want to think it is a punctual issue of this week, but I really hope they can solve it and return the money to all affected people.
