Particularly the gentlemen at the front desk, was so friendly and welcoming - he always went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Definately a top hotel to stay at. Location is great too and room well maintained. ##### Tamer Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sara 11 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location was great - walkable distance from major sites, tram line, and restaurants and shops. The room was cosy and comfortable. The staff communicated with me before my stay and organized an airport shuttle. During part of the stay there was no water in the sink or shower and I could hear people outside in the neighborhood and in the building throughout the night.

The hotel was in a great area central to all the major sites, shops and restaurants. Easy access to the tram to explore the other side of the river and other parts of the city. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to help us with any arrangements we needed. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We did note a slight smell in our bathrooms from the water lines/drains but it did not affect our stay. Would definitely recommend! ##### Marianne Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ismat Dewji 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A good clean place to put your head down for the night. AC works well. Small rooms but typical of all hotels in the area. Food and shopping around the area is expensive but again that’s due to closeness to the sights. Tram stop 2 mins walk away - easy access to Galata side also. Metro also 4 mins away to transfer to Anatolian side. ##### Ismat Dewji Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Raymond 29 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location near Sirkeci Station.

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber gewesen und wurde täglich nach Wunsch auch gereinigt. Die Putzkräfte, sowie die Mitarbeiter/-innen an der Rezeption waren sehr freundlich, wir wurden immer gefragt ob alles in Ordnung ist bzw. wir etwas benötigen. Die Rezeption ist sehr klein aber rund um die Uhr besetzt. Ein Aufzug ist vorhanden, der ist leider einmal kurz ausgefallen während unseres Aufenthalt. Das Hotel wurde neu renoviert. Mein Zimmer war in der ersten Etage, da es eine sehr lebendige Gegend ist kann es etwas laut werden, ich persönlich fand es nicht störend. Das Zimmer meiner Schwestern in der fünften Etage, war schon ruhiger. Die Zimmer und die Toiletten sind sehr geräumig und klimatisiert. Mir persönlich hat ein Stuhl zum Schminken und ein ganzkörper Spiegel zum Outfit abchecken gefehlt. Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis war top, bei den Konditionen würde ich dieses Hotel weiterempfehlen und auch selbst erneut wieder buchen. Frühstück wird hier nicht angeboten, für mich kein muss. Einfach nur alles super gewesen. ##### Zeliha Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Osman 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super Hotel in Super Lage Wir waren äußerst zufrieden super lage und sehr sauber das personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend.
