Excellent location as a base for a visit to Istanbul. Quiet room and all the facilities worked. Close to the historic sites and very convenient for public transport links.

Great Location to get anywhere in the city you need. Easy walking area right out your door - as well as a tram stop close by. Simple hotel but very comfortable and reasonable. And includes a very nice Turkish breakfast in the adjoining restaurant. A great place to stay in Istanbul. All food and shopping right there and at better prices than any of the bazaars.

Really well located hotel with an excellent breakfast. Staff changed our room to the rear of the hotel when we asked a quiet room. I would definitely stay again Room quite small, but this is to be expected in city centre hotel.

Hello! I like staying here. I was very disappointed with the available channels on the television in my room. There are no English channels. I wanted to watch the news once in a while. I was unable to do so. Breakfast is good; however, it could be a little more relaxed for the guests. One last thing: One day I asked for a wake-up call and it came about an hour late. Please check your system. Thank you, Kathryn Daley
