helpful staff clean rooms safe location really good location
I am charmed by the staff and their helpfulness. They arranged airport transport with no issues. The room included needed amenities. I found the location really good with plenty of cafes nearby. I think this hotel offeres clean rooms and a safe location.

underwhelming stay, sadly

ripped bedding deceptive pictures
The hotel location was quite alright. It was close enough to several attractions, i guess.
i found the room smaller than expected. the description listed an iron, but i needed to request it daily, and it wasnt always available, how annoying. also, the bedding looked kind of ripped, not what one expects, even in a basic room. i felt that the pictures online were bit deceptive, showing a better room condition than what i actually got.

The location was unbeatable! It was a short walk to the tram stops and main attractions. The Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia were all within easy walking distance. The staff was friendly and professional. They were always ready to help.
My room was quite small, that was a little disappointing. There wasn't much space to open my luggage fully. The minibar was empty, I found that inconvenient. The air conditioning did not seem to work very well.
