21.05.2025 Guest
The hotel is very centrally located and offers excellent value for money. The hotel facilities and the bookable breakfast buffet are good. However, the customer service is the best feature of the entire hotel. Melisa, in particular, is extremely friendly and very helpful. She always made us feel like we were in good hands, and thanks to her, we felt very welcome at the hotel. Thank you so much! We would love to come back. Warm regards, Mariana and Cynthia

We stayed for 8 nights and very happy with our choice. The room is small but functional, good air conditioning and love the walk in shower. The location is excellent, close walk to attractions. Breakfast delicious, a good selection of food from different cultures.

Excelent location, friendly staff, nice rooftop terrace. Everything one might want from a hostel in Istanbul!
16.12.2015 Shreeraj
I came in December so it was fairly quiet, but if you come in the warm months there will surely be a large crowd. The terrace upstairs offers good views around and a good place to meet people. Located very well right off the Sultanhamet Tram stop, and very convenient to get to almost anywhere in Istanbul. Offers cheap breakfast, cheap ride to airport, and nice rooms with heat/ac and warm water for shower. Wifi is average. Hosts are very helpful, and informative. Great place to stay, especially for backpackers.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The service was impeccable, the rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.

The location was perfect, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and luxurious. I can confidently say this was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommended – I will definitely be coming back!

I stayed at this hotel with my father for 7 days. The location is impeccable. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the hippodrome and it was really worth it. The breakfast was also very good and varied and the view was just wonderful. But the best part of this hotel was its kind, professional and friendly staff. Everyone, from the ladies who prepared breakfast, to the house keepers, to the receptionists, were all extremely warm and friendly. Mr. Mesut, the manager was incredibly helpful and gave us a lot of good guidance on what to do and see. He was really polite, kind nad professional. I can't say enough about how welcome him and his team made us feel. Next time we are in Istanbul, we will do our best to book a room with them again. 5 stars.
20.03.2025 Rosario
