Maria 9/10

Romania 🇷🇴

Great staff, wonderful location

Pros: Great location, very close to the tram station, very close to most of the touristic objectives. Really kind staff, breakfast was OK, coffee was good.

Cons: Maybe more options for breakfast, some sweets would be nice.

Milena 8/10

Slovakia 🇸🇰

Good for its price

Pros: Perfect location. Near to all the attractions in the city center. Easy to get from airport and to Sabiha Gokcen (M4 and tram B1). Friendly staff.

Cons: Breakfast was bad, I’m not a picky eater but it was really hard to find something good at the breakfast. Bathroom in our room was smelly, we knew about it before so it wasn’t a surprise for us.

Recommended hotel to stay

Pros: The location is strategic. Near to tramvay station, restaurants, walkable to main attraction, and lively area. The staff are very helpful, and easy to communicate.

Cons: Nothing.

Angeliki 8/10

Greece 🇬🇷

Pros: Very good location next to all the points of interest and just 2' from Sirkeci station. The guys at the reception and at the breakfast room are very friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast is quite good even though they could add some more stuff like fresh yogurt and more fruits.

Cons: There was a light bad smell into the bathroom due to the obvious humidity there was inside

Marcos 9/10

Spain 🇪🇸

nice location, middle of it all, just ensure you get step free room

Pros: Great location in the middle of everything. Night staff was very friendly.

Cons: to get to my room I had to climb 1 floor because the lift did not reach to my floor and the stairs were a bit steep. Still not a massive problem, but keep this in mind if you have trouble going upstairs or have heavy luggage.

Nurhafidzah 10/10

Malaysia 🇲🇾

Excellent stay in the city of Istanbul. Worth money and time!

Pros: Near to the tourist attraction and near to Sirkeci tram station

Cons: I think have to put kiblah direction

Nick 8/10

Canada 🇨🇦

Pros: Staff were fantastic - helpful and friendly! Place is a short walk to transit for tram T1 and B1 train stops. Was easy to get to by transit from airport and for seeing sites. The place has everything you'd want for affordable stay in old town.

Cons: A little loud outside when tram comes by but no difference from our experience in Munich hotel a few weeks ago.

Okan 10/10

Germany 🇩🇪

Pros: Thanks to Mr Ayhan who was friendly and informed us about some activities we can do (for example the bosphorus tour)

Mariia 9/10

Russia 🇷🇺

A jem in the middle of the city

Pros: Perfect location. 2 min from Marmaray, 5 min from the mosque and from the embankment. Minimarket and restaurants (quite expensive for Istanbul) just across the street. The view from the terrace is astonishing

Cons: Nothing. Good value for money

Petra 8/10

Hungary 🇭🇺

Pros: Great location in the heart of Istambul, close to the main points of the city. Tram, train, boat stops are a few minutes steps from the hotel. The staff were really nice, they were ready to help 24/7. I would like to thank for them the possibility to have a room despite of the fact I booked the room 12 hours before arrival and for the kindness I received.
