Positive Reviews
positive:
Phenomenal staff members.
The level of service and responsiveness at this hotel is well above average. The staff members do their best to make you feel welcome and informed about Istanbul, offering travel advice and aiding in ticketing services for the best attractions around the city.
positive:
Highly centralised placement.
The hotel is near the heart of Istanbul, which makes it easy to visit the dozens of historical treasures located in the district and its surrounding areas. Monuments like the Hagia Sofia are well within walking distance, as are the countless bazaar areas and galleries for which Istanbul is known.
positive:
Hearty breakfast spreads.
The breakfast service is composed of a delicious selection of hot entree items, pastries, fruits, and hot beverages. It offers a dose of local Turkish flavours while also appealing to international diners with its options, and it will surely act as a hearty, satisfying start to the day's exploration.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Occasionally intrusive noise.
The traffic noise from surrounding streets can be distracting at times, but even worse is the sound that travels between rooms. There is minimal soundproofing in the hotel walls, and to worsen matters, there are several local businesses operating in the vicinity during evening hours.
negative:
Disappointing room sizes.
The rooms are smaller than what you might expect, when compared to surrounding hotels in Istanbul. You may want to use the luggage storage option in advance, as there's little free room for you to store your suitcases while also enjoying free movement.
negative:
No issues reported.
So far, no recent negative opinion has been expressed by guests about this hotel.
