The place has a good location between Hagia Sofia and the blue mosque. What i really like is the roof top terrasse with the great view over the Marmar sea. It has no resaurant. I enjoyed the silence there in the mornings to do my yoga before i went to the city. The beds are comfortable, the fridge is great, and the bathroom is nice. Only missing a water boiler.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was at an excellent location as close to most amenities and very near a lot of the historical attractions. Staff were lovely and helpful and hotel room was daily cleaned. Fresh towels were provided daily and staff were happy to assist with anything that you needed. However the hotel is on a busy street with the hustle bustle of trading restaurants and tourist entertainment. Therefore if you are a light sleeper then the hotels location is not suitable for you as the music from neighbouring restaurants etc would go on past midnight most days.

Didn’t feel comfortable,simply because I couldn’t sleep the first night. Kept scratching all night....the bed wasn’t clean!. Had to cut my stay short and leave the place after terrible night,though I paid for two!. I don’t recommend it,even for cheap price.

Sokağa terkedilmiş sokak köpeğine benzedim

Esas rezervasyon ve ödeme yaptığım otelin dolu olduğu söylenerek ve sistem sorunu yaşandığı iddaa edilerek bu otele yönlendirildim. Beklentilerim karşılanmadı. Ama yine de sokakda kalmamak için mücale verdim. Sonuçda zorunlu olarak bu otele yönlendirildim. Hotels.com dan birdaha rezervasyon yapmayı düşünmüyorum. Hotels.com a artık güvenmiyorum. Ve açıkcası kredi kartı bilgilerimi verdiğim için korkuyorum. Parayı önceden yatırdım ve kapıdan kovuldum. Kendimi sokak köpeği gibi hissettim.
