Alain
Amazing … I book this hotel because I needed it just for a few hours in transit between two planes and I was amazed because I booked the cheapest hotel in the area and it was all modernised and very well decorated and very pleasant and the staff was incredibly helpful full and warm and sympathetic.
Muhammet
We chose this hotel based on positive reviews from other people. This was completely true: very centrally located, close to everything, very attentive and helpful staff, clean room, nicely furnished, great shower. This will be our regular place to stay when we are in Istanbul.
Jose Maria
Great location. Great staff. Gave me advice about places to go in the city. Would definitely book again.
Jane
This was our favorite hotel of the trip. Location was in the thick of things, reception staff were particularly helpful with history questions and transportation tips. Area is full of restaurants and pastry shops. It is a noisy scene and the trams run in front of the hotel, if that matters for sleep, but it is within walking distance of many of Istanbul 's top sights. Room was cleaned and supplies replenished every day. We will stay there again.
Daniele
Spotless and really well presented room. Amazing value for money!
Central location, a few s te ps from the main sights and good cafes & restaurants
Would definitely return here on my next trip to IST and highly recommend it

Assel
The room was just like in the photos but when I entered It smelled like sewage or like somebody just used the bathroom for number two. There was electricity shortage for the whole night I stayed I couldn’t do anything no lights no charging my phone. They didn’t provide any candles or offered anything for the inconvenience. The worst was the elevator that didn’t work I had to walk to 7th floor to get to my room. They don’t even be apologetic or try to make up for the inconvenience. At least they could offer a coffee/snack or something I don’t know.
SOTIRIOS
Clean room. Value for money. Great location
Malone
Everything with this stay was perfect!! I was blown away by the insane value of this hotel. Great location in old city, clean and updated room, and the staff was always so helpful. Some of the best baklava on our trip came from the evening front desk attendant. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. 100% would recommend.
Guillaume
Odalar yepyeni ve tertemizdir; bir de çok sakindir. Odada su şişesi tedariki her gün sağlanmaktadır. Sirkeci İstasyonu'na çok yakındır. Personel kibardır. İstanbul'a döneceksem şüphesiz orada konaklayacağım.
Mehmet
Room view was amazing but the room condition was getting worse while I stayed there. The wall was leaking some water and it was feel like hard to breathe
Aykut
Oda temizdi , gayet misafirperverdi otel . Oda biraz küçüktü , tv kötğydü ama otel konumu gayet iyidi
Muhayo
Room is clean and spacious. Staff is polite and helpful.
Lihao
Clean room. Lot's of activities nearby. Next to a tram way but I was not much disturbed.
Sara
The location was great - walkable distance from major sites, tram line, and restaurants and shops. The room was cosy and comfortable. The staff communicated with me before my stay and organized an airport shuttle.
During part of the stay there was no water in the sink or shower and I could hear people outside in the neighborhood and in the building throughout the night.
Overall I was happy with my stay and would stay there again

Clean room for sure. Staff are very professional and polite.
JEMY
Staff pleasant, kind, offered tea, and tourism suggestions. Room - spotless and excellent lighting. Only suggestion I have is to maybe have a chair in the room. Bathroom-spotless and high pressure hot water for shower.
Tamer
Everything from the way we were welcomed, to the way the room was laid out and put together for us, this small trendy boutique hotel had more hospitality and customer service experience than a 5 star hotel. Particularly the gentlemen at the front desk, was so friendly and welcoming - he always went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Definately a top hotel to stay at. Location is great too and room well maintained.
Marianne
Couldn’t have asked for a better location! The hotel was in a great area central to all the major sites, shops and restaurants. Easy access to the tram to explore the other side of the river and other parts of the city. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to help us with any arrangements we needed. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We did note a slight smell in our bathrooms from the water lines/drains but it did not affect our stay. Would definitely recommend!
Dina
This hotel is clean and the staff is so nice and helpful, the area is touristic and you the location is strategic. The hotel is also safe. I recommend 👌
Osman
Super Hotel in Super Lage
Wir waren äußerst zufrieden super lage und sehr sauber das personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Gerne empfehle ich es weiter
Ismat Dewji
A good clean place to put your head down for the night. AC works well. Small rooms but typical of all hotels in the area. Food and shopping around the area is expensive but again that’s due to closeness to the sights. Tram stop 2 mins walk away - easy access to Galata side also.
Metro also 4 mins away to transfer to Anatolian side.

Great location near Sirkeci Station. First class/friendly/ mostly helpful staff
But when I mentioned that someone was smoking cigarettes on the 3rd or 4th floor the response was a shoulder shrug. Like\"that is Istanbul'. Not a beneficial response

Temizli, bakım ve yenilik mükemmel. Fakat banyoda duş kısmına 179 cm biri olarak sığmakta zorlandım. Tramvay sesi geliyordu fakat beni rahatsız etmedi. Konumu çok iyi her yere kolaylıkla ulaşım sağlanıyor. Çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardım severdi. Herşey için teşekkürler.

We only stayed a night as a stopover but could not recommend this place enough. Excellent location, clean rooms and the most amazing hosts. Farhat was extremely helpful and even gifted us a flower on our departure. Will definitely be back if we travel to Istanbul again!

J’ai passé cinq nuits dans cet hôtel lors de mon séjour à Istanbul et j’en garde un super souvenir. L’hôtel est idéalement situé, ce qui permet de découvrir la plupart des sites touristiques à pied. La chambre était propre confortable et parfaitement insonorisée.
Voyageant seule, j’ai apprécié l’accueil et la gentillesse de toute l’équipe. Le personnel a été d’une bienveillance exceptionnelle, toujours souriant, attentionné et disponible. Je me suis sentie en sécurité et très bien entourée tout au long de mon séjour!

L'hôtel est tres bien situé, à deux pas de toutes les curiosités, atteignables à pied ou en tram. Le personnel est adorable, prévenant et serviable.
L'hôtel ne possède pas de restaurant mais au pied du bâtiment vous avez le choix pour tous vos repas de la journée.
