In a great location. Nice view from the balcony. Attentive and friendly staffs. Free drinking water provided. Buffet breakfast with plenty choices of food and the ladies start cleaning at 10:29am sharp with constant loud banging tapping bouncing noises while plenty of people are still sitting and finishing their breakfast every single morning. Constant smoking smell in the lobby, corridor and toilet in the room when the ventilation fan is on.

There was no amenities such as gym, pool, suana, or etc. Property is located conveniently and is close to Isteklal Avenue by walking. If you are a fan of shopping and eating, there are plenty of stores and eateries in the area. Breakfast is good.

An issue we had was with a couple of staff smoking in the entrance area outside the lobby. With automatic glass door, cigarette smoke blows into the lobby and adjacent breakfast area.

This wasn’t a 4 star hotel.
Amenities are limited! Very small breakfast area and always condensed. Very limited breakfast options. It is off the main street and very noisy. Triple room is not good because the third bed is a futon bed not real mattress.

Good and nice hotel, but it will definitely need a couple of changes.

What can be improved:
•Many of the staff were smoking near the entrance, which caused a strong cigarette smell.
•The rooms are soundproof, but not the doors. Every time someone used the elevator or talked outside, we could hear it, which was a little annoying.
•The bathroom fan was making a lot of noise, so I would recommend changing it.

Great location and clean hotel

I stayed in the 3 twin bed room with a sea view with my mom and sister. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom was very clean. All of the hotel was very clean and well maintained. The staff was always very warm and helpful to guests. The cleaning lady Azad was very sweet. The room service was great. The breakfast was a great spread. The view from our window was beautiful in the night. In our room the space is just enough. We had 5 suitcases which made it a little tight but they have a cupboard so we used that to keep all our stuff. They also have a safe locker. There is a spa which offers hamam too but I didn’t have time to try it. The location of this hotel is just amazing. It’s situated right next to the bus stop and a few meters away from the metro m2 line. The galata tower is only a short walk away. And it’s only a short walk from the nostalgic tram that goes through istiklal street as well. They also gave us an extended checkout time. Overall I had a great experience here and would love to come back.

The hotel is in a fairly quiet neighbourhood and a great location, close to landmarks and public transportation. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast exceeded my expectations with a good variety and combinations.

However, the room insulation was poor. I could clearly hear guests next door. Smoking was allowed in the lobby, and the smoke spread to the elevators, dining area, and even my room at times. I also noticed handprints on doors and handles, as well as shoe marks on the floor.

Very average hotel. It doesn’t worth the price. I reserved this hotel for my elderly parents and paid for a sea view room. They gave us an average room on the fifth floor with no specific view. After two days I talked to the manager and insisted on room upgrade. It took me one hour to convince him to upgrade our room to a deluxe room. Deluxe room was better. More spacious with a terrace and view. This is the only reason I’m giving them 2 stars.

1- Rooms are very basic. No tissue box, no iron, no extra toilet rolls, safety box not bolted to the drawer (safety issue), basic design. Cards to open room’s door deactivated every other day.

2- Wifi was not working most of the time.

3- breakfast quality is ok but breakfast area is small and congested.

4- Cleaning ladies were really nice, but once I asked reception how to get to princess island, they gave us a wrong address. It took us one hour to get to the address they gave us and when we got there they told us this is not the right location. We had to come all the way back! You want to trust your hotel reception to get info from! How on earth they don’t know how to get to the one of the biggest tourist attractions in Istanbul?!

5- After moving to deluxe room they gave me a sofa bed which was extremely uncomfortable.

6- I smelled sewage some days in hallways.

This place is not worth the price:

2- I found hair on the bed after checking in.
3- I requested additional towels, but despite promising to bring them twice, they never did. I find this disrespectful.
4- There's construction in the adjacent building which creates significant noise starting at 8am.
5- The air conditioning doesn't work in cool mode.

We said we would still take it ,but they lied that there is one available and finally acknowledged they overbooked and we must look for the hotel ourselves , at 10 pm!!!l The receptionists are not helpful, don’t care about anything but smoking and chatting, they first promised to pay for hotel next door but upon checking in there they said that the price is too high for them.

Zalety:

2. Pokój byl czysty, sprzątany codziennie, codzienna wymiana ręczników, zawsze nowa woda w pokoju,
3. Hotel jest dosyć nowy i jest w dobrym stanie,
4. Przyjemny i pomocny personel,
5. Śniadania też ok, niczego nie brakowalo, donoszono to, co się skończyło.

Wady:
1. Brak dźwiękoszczelności - słychać dosłownie wszystko, co dzieje sie za drzwiami pokoju,
2. Hotel jest przy ruchliwej ulicy - słychać hałas również przy zamkniętych oknach (pokój z widokiem ma morze),
3. Okropnie niewygodne łóżko. Materac był bardzo twardy, dodatkowo czułem sprężyny,
4. Coś nie tak było z wodą - ciśnienie bywało niskie, dodatkowo woda rzadko była gorąca, a momentami niemal chlodna.
