Reviews
There's a small elevator. The cleaning was just okay. Towels were changed daily.
Breakfast included: eggs, bread, vegetables, olives, cold cuts, jams, chocolate spread, tea, and coffee.
The room was small, but comfortable enough for the two of us.
It's a perfectly decent option for an overnight stay.
Breakfast is poor no wardrobe or drawers and double room is smaller so no comments for bathroom
Staffs really friendly.
Very cleann.
The value for money isn't convincing in my opinion.
Reception & condition of the hotel:
The reception staff were friendly and accommodating, but the furniture throughout the hotel appears very worn. The room wasn't particularly clean, and overall, the hotel gave a neglected impression.
Cleanliness & surroundings:
There was a lot of trash in front of the window, the juice dispenser in the breakfast area was dirty, and there were large trash cans directly in front of the room.
Breakfast:
The breakfast offerings were very limited. There was no butter, the cold cuts were unrefrigerated, and the buffet was cleared before 10:30 a.m. When I pointed this out, the cook reacted unfriendly and offered nothing for breakfast.

One of the my cousin is handicapped he can’t see an walk , they after me and my wife tried to go and visit them in the room, the hotel manager didn’t allow us to go visit them
He was absolutely disaster and abnormal person and lots of bad things my relatives were complaining……….
Rooms were so clean and the breakfast area has a panaromic view.
But the variety of breakfast food was not good enough.
The location of the hotel is so good.
Generally i was satisfied with the hotel and attitude of the staff.
Location is very good because taksim square is near so you have metro, bus and everything is close to you.
Only the food was good, so better look for another place :)
