The dark secret about this hotel is that it is directly opposite the huge City Hall in Istanbul, and that building runs the most massive air conditioners I've ever seen (classic Crane Company multiple-fan cooling units, presumably from America), These make such a terrible noise -- such a high-pitched, piercing drone -- that you feel like you are bedded down at the end of an airport runway. To top it off, that 24-hour-a-day din is mixed during the day with a heavy drone of careening cars on one of the city's major arteries, less than a block away. The result is, quite simply, that you can't open a window, day or night. So...only if you're someone who can sleep sealed up with a cold and capricious air conditioner breezing right over your head, will you be comfortable in this hotel. I've read the other reviews, and can only concur that the reception-staff on duty while I was there were the least pleasant and helpful people in that position, that I've ever encountered in an international hotel. When I tried to change rooms (to get a bit away from the noise), they blithly tried to more-than-double my room-rates (for the same sized room), and skillfully obscured the whole exchange by steadfastly refusing to speak or understand any English. The rooms were adequate, so long as you don't need to watch TV (nice-looking flatscreen TV mounted in the wall, but no controller available), and you bring your own soaps (none were provided).

we stayed in this hotel from 11th till the 18th of january 2007. the hotel was very clean and tidy. The breakfast provided was healthy and fresh. all the staff at the hotel were quick to respond to our queries and dealt with any arising problem in a very professional way.

I see here as previews about the hotel some negative comments. When we stayed there we were lucky to have a nice room. It is possible that service problems at the reception continue.
The location is not the best in the Old Istanbul. This hotel is located in a side street. As long as you pay a reasonable price , this hotel may be advised.

This was an awful thing I loved the city to bits but this hotel is horrible dont stay there its also quite dirty and the food is disgusting and very expensive. there is one person I came across who speaks (bad) english. The staff is also quite rude and management is the worst I came across in my life.
Piece of advice don't even bother.
