The rooms are very tidy, clean and the towels are changed daily. Rooms aren't huge, but after... More

This hotel was very close to the tram stop Cemberlitas which is one stop away from the very touristy area, Sultanahmet. For the price it was amazingly clean, the showers had good water pressure and we never lacked hot water. There is also free Wifi :) The staff were really nice; even when my friends and I would come home... More

Rooms was not too big but very clean (they changed towels and bed linen every day). There are little safe-box in... More
