Reviews
They were so bad hotel ever because They didn't respect our reservation and the receptions both girl and boy refused to change room but we called trip.com to help us with them because they were unfair only trip.com helped us, I will never trust to book with them without any application to take mine, she said No I can't give you another room we fully booked but when trip talk to them to refund my money or give me the room I booked from week ago they refused found another room in 2 minutes !!!, so they were also lying ⁉️⁉️ Very bad behaviour from reception and I'm not the only one they gave her different room so be careful, also there's 2 cameras facing the room ( the privacy is not good )😕
The location, near Taqsim Square and Karakoy, was excellent. My room was in the corner with a sea view, and the balcony was wonderful. The hotel is tiny, and this is reflected in the facility's size and services, including the lobby.
Value for the many: acceptable
I wasn't even allowed to visit my mother in her room, even though I had booked a 5-star hotel next door. That was rather ridiculous... but okay.
