Reviews
Poor attitude to visitors
Poor English of the staff!
Nice location
My room had slight sea view
Staff very good and friendly
Location very good near beazit tramway
The location is good, very close to Grand Bazaar, and bang on the tram line to go to the blue mosque, or eminonu for boat trips and for the spice market. The staff are very helpful.
This hotel is fabulous. Its perfect. Local food is good price. 2 minute walk from the grand Bazar.
It may be far from the blue mosque or other tourist spots BUT there is a tram (train bus thing) that is 5 minutes walk from the hotel that goes to majority of the spots u desire. The tran + google maps will get u to ur destination and also help you save a lot of money. Be mindful of the taxis, them man be ripping you off.
The breakfast included is fabulous. Healthy light foods as well as nice simple desserts that can go well with tea.
I came here with my parents and older brother. Im the youngest (19) and I enjoyed it so if you’re looking for a suitable hotel that can fit your kids desires, this is the one with free swimming pool from 12pm - 6pm, after 6pm is £10/10€.
The view from your bedroom window will not be all that but at the end of the day youre going to spend majority of your day out of the hotel and if youre sitting in the hotel for most of the day then idk what ur doing mate.
The price as well is reasonable. Lobby is amazing. Workers speak amazing English. Cleaners do a fantastic job.
Overall, its underrated.
The only good thing is the location. In a way the hotel is good if you want to discover the town because you certainly don't want to stay in so you're out as much as possible.
The floor was dirty upon our arrival, dirty and droughty windows. Black mould in the bathroom was disgusting. Leaking aircon and paper wall peeling off the wall, no extraction in the bathroom.
Breakfast isn't what you can see in the photos, no bread in the early morning....
Find yourself a better hotel.
