Friendly, well located and great value.
02.03.2026 Ali
Very nice overall. Location is convenient. Overall the attractions around the area and the hustle bustle is attractive. The 5th floor room with Seaview is a delight. Cleanliness is OK too. Breakfast is quite filling. Staff are all helpful. And they guide with some decent boat tour bookings... *********** doesn't seem to have the best rooms on their site. For instance I needed a 4 bed with Seaview, but they had just a 3 bed showing. Ermir at the reception then upgraded me on arrival for an additional fee. Thanks!
However, please be aware the big drawback is the food in this area. It seems all restaurants offer the same exact menu and at the same exorbitant prices. The food portions are really very small, leaving one only half full. They charge for everything, even the sauces and dips. This was very surprising to us as we had had a different impression of Turkish food and hospitality. Quite disappointing really. In the end, the best value for money was McDonald's!

The breakfast spread is good. It is cheaper to include breakfast during booking than pay at the counter cos they will charges in euro.

I stayed with my family at the hotel for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The management was very cooperative and helpful, the cleaning services were on point and the distance from the Blue mosque were all pluses for me!
Would definitely visit again in the near future.

We booked on the ground floor and saw a very large mouse on the ground floor and the manager's behavior was very bad. The bathrooms were not clean enough and did not look like the pictures on the internet. The reality was different and there was a strong smell of food at the entrance of the hotel and there was no hot water in the bathroom. I do not recommend this hotel.
16.08.2025 MUHAMMED
The hotel was in the backstreets of nowhere. All you could see from the window was the back of other hotels. The only redeeming feature was being able to see the sea from the window. We were in the family room which was not really big enough for the 5 of us. The beds were basically sofas that had been pushed together. My children were practically falling into the gaps as they slept because those sofa beds would keep moving. The beds were also so uncomfortable and hard. We all had back aches from the first day of use. The only sort of bed linen we were given was a plain white sheet over the sofa beds and 3 hospital style blankets that were quite scratchy and rough. There were two air cons in the room, but only one was actually working. It was also in the most inconvenient place, it would freeze us and cause so much leg pain at night because it was so close to the bed but we couldn’t switch it off because the room would get hot in a matter of minutes. The bathroom facilities were just really not up to par. They were disgusting, looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a while. There was black mould and gunk stuck in the cracks of the door and along the floor. We didn’t use the shower without wearing flip flops to protect our feet. Many times we were left without toilet roll. Overall just not a great experience.
14.08.2025 Guest
Small but perfectly clean room, well situated for visiting the major attractions of the city. Excellent front desk staff particularly Nadia and Ali who helped with advice and directions.
11.07.2025 Ripz
Stayed at this hotel for 6 days and the experience was appalling. Basic services were lacking — we had to ask for toilet rolls to be replaced, which is unacceptable. On the day of departure, while waiting for our airport transfer, the receptionist deliberately turned off the air conditioning in the lobby. When questioned, she just shrugged without a word — extremely rude and unprofessional.

The rooms were not clean, beds were uncomfortable, and to make matters worse, the sheets were not changed throughout our stay. Overall, this hotel lacks both hygiene and hospitality. I would not recommend it and will definitely not be returning.

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!
12.05.2025 Maryam
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

What can I say about this hotel, pure hospitality and a must stay when your in Istanbul. Take it from me the service is special especially Mehmut and Sena who always greet you and take care of you whenever you need. Sena especially well done! The breakfast is fresh whenever you need no matter what time you get up. If you need a top up a fresh portion it will be made for you.

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.
