We had a really good week in the hotel in May 2012. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the breakfast excellent and the staff friendly and helpful - excellent value for money. It's a great base for exploring Istanbul.

Good location Clean rooms Limited in Breakfast choises Language of staff is very poor

Our 3 night stay in April 2012 at this very central and convenietly located hotel was a pleasure. The staff were very helpful and breakfast more than adequate and accommodation clean and comfortable.

I was quite worried before I arrived here thinking the rooms might be too small as there appears to be no space to move around in the pictures. But thankfully everything was fine. Room was very clean and exactly how it appears in the pictures. Was very pleased with the LCD TV (decent range of channels) and the shower was... More
