Reviews
Parking space is available next to the hotel for 10 euros a day. Nearby there are plenty of stores and food places.
Overall Impressions are 10/10. I highly recommended it. Looking forward to visit again.
We also appreciated the minibar fridge with complimentary water and sweets – a nice touch. The location was ideal for us, as most of the main sights were within walking distance, so we didn’t even need to rely on public transport. The bathroom had a hairdryer, and there’s a market and food spots nearby.
Highly recommended, and we would definitely return for another stay!
Really only negative comment I have is that despite it saying online that they have free parking, we were charged 20 euros on check out for the parking.
Otherwise, hotel was nice, clean, appeared very new. Staff were friendly, pleasant, approachable, and helpful. Breakfast was good. Area felt safe (we walked back to the hotel past midnight and had no issues or concerns). Getting to the hotel was a bit of stressful driving… but that is not specific to the hotel, but rather most of Istanbul from what we experienced.
