Breakfast was bad. Rooms are very compact. There was ants in my room and there was no attention given to have it cleaned. The hotel is not accessible by wheelchair. Staff is rude especially the lady at the breakfast restaurant. Only positive this is it’s near by tram station and Sultanahmet. But in all an unpleasant stay. ##### Uzma Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Almas 5 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Rooms were clean and new, but bit small. Location is perfect but noise isolation is poor and I had hard time sleeping, perhaps due to combination of outside noise and jet lag. Area around hotel is very busy all day and night, do be aware. Breakfast was great, staff is friendly and prompt. Overall it’s passing grade but I would recommend other place in the same area. Istanbul is amazing so it’s worth every penny. ##### Almas Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Antonia 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tuvimos una estancia estupenda.
