Guest-rated 9.2/10 from 184 reviews
9.2Verified guest“The staff were really nice. Perfect location for visiting the Golden Horn in the morning and heading out at night through Beyoglu (Istiklal and around). The hotel is very new. Small rooms but cosy. Satellite TV.”
9.2Verified guest“I liked the area. You can see how locals live, but there are also many tourist attractions around. Close to shopping and restaurants. The hotel itself is small. I liked the sitting area in my room, it's very unique. The guy at reception was very friendly. He helped with directions and advice on dealing with taxi from the airport when private drivers wanted to charge €60; also helped print my boarding pass. Free tea was available.”
9.2Verified guest“The room was clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful with everything. The hotel is near Taksim, walking distance from the square and very close to Istanbul Congress Center. A very good place to stay if attending a meeting at the Congress Center. Also, the drop-off from the airport buses is close.”
