With gratitude,
Ilze & Sandra
The location was really good, with only a minute walk to Gulhane tram station. The noise from the tram was not as bad as we thought it would be.
Definitely recommended.
The room itself was okay, but the AC didn’t seem to work properly – it got very hot and was difficult to sleep, though this might have been user error. The elevator up to the room was also quite small, so I preferred taking the stairs.
The next morning we had breakfast, and they served the freshest honey I’ve ever tasted – straight from the source. The location was also excellent, very central and close to everything worth seeing on that side of the city.
Overall, I can recommend this hotel for its hospitality, central location, and breakfast – just make sure you figure out the AC before going to bed, or ask the staff for help.
All staff at the reception were very friendly, polite, and attentive. Reception staff were all very welcoming, always smiling and helpful with anything we asked about, spoke different languages. Big thank you to them! We liked the breakfast at the hotel too. The location is good, close to metro station and mosques. Although, the rooms are a bit small, they were clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!
I always stay at this hotel, and it’s absolutely fantastic. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming – truly the best! They always make me feel right at home with their warm and professional service.
One of the highlights of my stay is the breakfast – it’s amazing! There's always a great variety, everything is fresh and delicious, and it’s the perfect way to start the day.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. Every visit is a wonderful experience, and I can’t recommend this place enough. If you're looking for excellent service and a great stay, this is the hotel for you.
What truly stands out is the friendly, multilingual staff who go above and beyond to assist with everything from luggage to tour bookings; special thanks to Furkan and Ertan... you rock!
