I stayed at this hotel on a budget and for my wedding shopping, and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. The location is superb, surrounded by iconic landmarks and lots of eateries, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The rooms, although needing some improvements, were spacious, basic, and equipped with everything I needed, and the huge comfortable bed allowed me to rest well. The staff, particularly Murat, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and helped us with last-minute arrangements for airport transfer. The dining options were tasty but could benefit from more variety. Overall, a great value for money choice in Istanbul.

The hotel rooms were not as spacious as advertised and had an unconventional layout with only a bathroom window, yet they were clean and cozy. The service provided by the staff was exceptionally friendly and professional. The location was perfect for exploring all the top attractions in Istanbul on foot. The dining experience, while simple, offered tasty and elegant options. Overall, the facilities were convenient and pleasant.

My stay at this hotel was overall a mixed experience. The rooms had some issues like noisy ventilation and a lack of proper lighting, but the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated in a very convenient location near major historical sites and attractions, making it easy to explore the city. The facilities could use some refreshing and improvement.
