The hotel's location is excellent, with convenient transport links, and it's very close to the airport shuttle bus stop. The room was small, but the heating was very good. The front desk staff were very thoughtful and helped me receive a delivery. The cleaning lady was also very polite, greeting me proactively and asking if I needed anything. The best part was breakfast, which is served in a pub attached to the hotel. It was very rich and varied. On our second day, we had to leave at 7 AM, but the restaurant only opened at 7:30 AM. However, the owner let us grab ingredients and make our own burgers, which was incredibly accommodating!

The place was not that condusive to access as you are forced to carry the luggage from the road 100m to the hotel door.

A very decent mid-range hotel for this price. Highly recommend. Very good location within walking distance to many attractions and tram stops. Breakfast was varied; one of the best among the hotel breakfast i've had in Turkey. Room was small but good enough for one person. Facilities are clean.

This review is for my stay in 2008 in a time before google maps were available. The hotel is still around 16 years after I stayed. It survived the pandemic unlike many small hotels. I have good memories of my stay. Very well located. Easy to find food and convenient as the tram passes just in front. Some people may be disturbed by the slight noise. The staff was helpful too. Because it is a small hotel, it lacks a dining area. I remember leaving Istanbul with a good feeling, telling myself that I will stay there if i visit Istanbul again. I remember walking all the way to the bridge area and eating a fish sandwich!

A standard hotel with clean rooms in a perfect, 5 star location. The attached restaurant/bar is really good.

It was quite good to have a simple travel in midtown. Reasonable price. Especially quiet in night time considering it’s being in the street side.
