The cafe is lovely with indoor & outdoor seating options. The free Turkish-style breakfast is great and filling :-) Everything in the room worked well, no problems at all. We hope to return to Istanbul with our whole family someday, and booking a hotel will be an easy task: Amara! ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jordan 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Helpful and friendly staff Not a bad hotel in a nice central location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was poor and disappointing;, just one boiled egg and some ham , cheese , bread and olives plus condiments. Room and bathroom in general were ok. Safe was not very safe. Hallways were undergoing renovation so at times looked like a building site and slight issue with the plumbing one morning with dirty water coming through the taps and toilet. ![Decent twin room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E1F91CCC6A409431CECEB8BBD52DA212AFE323691740154552815.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Poor breakfast ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6D036D5A609167E9C191C8FEE4DC5649DFB283161740154552695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Building works :-(](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03610DBFB928060566ABF89586E5AC9BD4F14C851740154552820.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Portable Safe, not secured .](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CFD2F58817E2AE4C5D14BE862C3E8C230A7A4E471740154552586.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jordan Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ahmed 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing ##### Ahmed Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Salah 15 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The breakfast is terrible ##### Salah Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ugur 15 Feb 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities Bij aankomst op de eerste dag kregen wij een kamer waar geen water uit de kraan kwam. Daarnaast werkte de televisie niet en ontbrak de afstandsbediening. Het probleem kon niet worden opgelost, waardoor wij de volgende dag een andere kamer kregen. Deze kamer was wel ruimer, maar ook hier werkte de televisie niet. Tijdens ons verblijf van vier nachten zijn de kamers geen enkele keer schoongemaakt, ondanks dat wij dit meerdere keren hebben aangegeven. Ook moesten wij zelf achter toiletpapier en schone handdoeken aan. Zeer teleurstellende ervaring. Voor ons nooit meer dit hotel. ##### Ugur Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2026 ### 6/10 Okay #### Berna 19 Dec 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness Das Personal am Empfang war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Allerdings hat die Putzkraft wirklich oberflächlich gereinigt. Wir haben uns mehrmals beschwert, daraufhin hat die Putzkraft nur die Stellen detailliert gereinigt, die wir auch bemängelt haben. Ich fand es aber gut, dass das Personal am Empfang unsere Beschwerde ernst genommen hat.
