    Truly enjoyed the double room we had with big bed. A mini bar fridge, an air conditioning, and an individual safe were available here too. Our hotel was in a particularly good and unbeatable location, near a tram line;)))

    Rooftop views with charming staff

    I loved the charming rooftop restaurant, offering amazing views of the Bosphorus. The staff, especially Burcu at the concierge, were notably friendly and always eager to assist!

    The surrounding area was quite gritty, with some streets needing attention. The bathroom in our room had a lingering odor that wasn't addressed .

    This was my great stay for my Christmas holiday. The location in a pretty nice area was unbeatable and there were a shopping mall and a market nearby. I was happy to find Ekim Restaurant, it was just a short stroll away from the hotel and served nice food. The restaurant here was great for the breakfast.

    Fine rooftop views from the dining area.

    My experience with the front desk staff was disheartening. They were smoking behind the door, and their dismissive attitude left me frustrated. Although the hotel offers a good location near public transport, the surrounding area is not particularly pleasant.

    A Great Experience for Solo Travelers

    The Double Room with City View was bright and comfortable. I loved the staff's friendliness and willingness to assist, though more tourist information would be helpful. A short walk to the tram station made exploring easier-just keep in mind limited dining options nearby.

    delicious breakfast
    stunning view
    relaxing massage
    neighborhood appearance

    I had a fantastic time enjoying the delicious breakfast that featured tasty Turkish cheeses and pastries. The stunning view from the rooftop restaurant was a highlight. The spa facilities offered both a relaxing massage and an inviting sauna, making my stay even better. The only drawback was the neighborhood’s appearance, but it didn't take away from my overall experience. 😊

    The hotel features comfortable, clean rooms and has a fantastic rooftop restaurant offering fine views over the city's iconic landmarks. Breakfast includes a good selection, with whole wheat bread rolls being a standout. Necessitating a walk to the tram station can be an added hassle for explorers.
