Reasonably good for an inexpensive hotel. Clean, quiet and in a good area. Very basic facilities and breakfast. Service was not great - my room was not cleaned before the last night of my stay.
helpful and kind staff. the structure is excellent and in a central area with sea view.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The location is good for walking to the main sights and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The floor was a little damaged in front of the bathroom.
Front desk personnel Abraham and Hamad provided excellent service and information supporting any need I had.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was helpful. Provided breakfast was plentiful. Room was clean but dated. I was on the 1st floor so the street noise was prevalent and the door slamming from the adjacent shared water closet was also loud and easily heard in my room.
I am a non smoker and the whole place (lobby and room) smelled of smoke.
Loved the place and the service of the staff, ahmed helped us alot, and also another guy, i forgot the name. We liked that it is central and close to everything, cleaning was good and they had a simple breakfast for those who didnt want to eat breakfast outside the hotel. It isnt the best quality in the rooms and they are not the best looking/decorated rooms, they kind of small, but they are clean, and thats the most important. Overall i'd give it a 4/5 just because room werent the best, other stuff were good.
We got transfer from and to the airport, paid appr. 50 euro, in our opinion it was a bit expensive, but we were 4 people so we shared the price and got cheaper.
Fatal at front desk was able to help me we a questions I had. Enes worked breakfast buffet and night time and was fast to replenish buffet or serve a chai in the evening
Location is the best thing to appraise. The owner is a nice gentleman. While I understand this is an older hotel, cleanliness still needs to be improved. I found a jacket in the closet which I believe was left by the last guest. Stains were found in the sheets. Moreover, I got a neighbor who watch tik-tok and speak loudly after mid-night, looks like the walls are not so sound-proof. Room is small, just enough to put a double bed.
The size of the room was way smaller than what it is looked on pictures, I was not even possible to fully open a checked luggage to look for my stuffs. They don't let you get any type of visits on your room and they don´t specify that at the beggining or have that rule written anywhere, which was extremely inconvenient to me.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Well on first sight it seemed like a decent hotel, just by looking at the pictures. We were told on the Expedia post that parking would be available, we get there and there’s literally no parking so we had to unload our luggage in the middle of the street while people honked and got irritated rightfully so. As we get into the lobby and get everything situated at the front desk, we finally get our keys and head up to our rooms. The elevator only fit like maybe 2 people max while carrying luggage. So that was a bit annoying. As we get to our rooms, we notice that the owner overcharged us for the room. So my aunt and mom go downstairs to situate it with the man again, giving him the benefit of doubt that he maybe made a mistake. My aunt and mother tell me he started being very rude and snappy once he got called out upon the charges, so rather than giving a sincere apology for stealing more money from my family, you continue to be disrespectful and rude once caught. I mean other than those 2 things the stay was decent in the hotel. Other than the power outage that happened one of the nights we were there. The breakfast was decent, and overall if you’re looking for a quick night to stay in this hotel go for it but just be careful.
Das Hotel hat einen guten Standort. Wenige Gehminuten in die Stadt und zum Bosporus.Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel bzw. der Bahnhof sind auch unmittelbar vorort. Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Betten waren noch in Ordnung, ansonsten gab nur einen kleinen Kleiderschrank, der auch nicht standfest war. Man musste gucken, wo man die ganzen Sachen deponieren kann. Keine Sitzmöglichkeit auf den Zimmern außer auf den Betten. In der Umgebung ist es nachts auch laut, Nachtruhe ist auch nur bedingt. Das Frühstück war unbefriedigend. Die Bettwäsche und die Handtücher wurden täglich erneuert.Wer mehr auf Komfort legt, ist es keine gute Wahl, der lediglich nur einen Platz zum Schlafen braucht, ist dort gut aufgehoben.
Für den Preis gibts besseres.Als viel Reisende in istanbul,beobachte ich vermehrt das hotels einfach vermieten aber keine neue investition vornehmen.
Besser ist vor ort anschauen dann buchen!!!
Sehr hellhörige Zimmer, draußen Tag und Nacht sehr laut.
Für mich nicht mehr wieder hin.
