“Average. Stay elsewhere!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012 via mobile

I stayed here for 3 nights all up. For the price it is not worth it. You can get better value in Istanbul. It does the job but our room only had paper thin blinds and the staff don't go out of their way to help. It is €5 to use the gym. The area is good for sightseeing but the nearby main street is a bit much. I'd only stay here if you got a really cheap rate.

“Helpful staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

We chose the hotel for its location close to the historic monuments. The rooms were clean but rather small. We couldn't use the pool or bar on the roof since it was all closed in october, but the view was still excellent. Lots of restaurants and shops in the neighbourhood. I forgot my mobile phone in my room, but it was sent back to me by a helpful public relations manager.

“Would not stay again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

I stayed here two nights as part of a tour. It didn't help that the road out front was being ripped up and I had to manouvre my luggage down the street, as the taxi couldn't get any closer. The reception staff were cold and uninterested. Not very helpful at all. The room was like a cell, with one tiny window looking out over a roof. It was very claustrophobic. The location for the tourist sites is good, but there are many other better choices than this. I would not stay again.

“good location near Topkapi etc, average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

I have chosen this hotel for it's location and wellness options.
Around 5-10min walking to Topkapi, 10-15min to Aya Sophia and the blue mosque. Also close to tram.
Small rooms with a wardrobe for your luggage. Small room to little hall, no outside view.
Nicely decorated room, clean. Bath room however not clean, benath the window next to the shower multiple parts of glas. Shower couldn´t close, one door was missing, another was to small, no curtain avaliable. When showering you got a free pool next to the shower. Room heating very enthousiastic, 25 degrees plus in the room, no adjustment possible,no possoibility to open room to outside.
Wellness for extra fee. Pool for free, outside pool closed due to season, but inside pool was not heated, think it was 25 or less degrees. Sauna for 5 euro, turkish bath iout of service.
Breakfast included, choice of al kinds of bread, eggs, jam, choc butter, yoghurt, muesli and fruit, well enough.
Hotel service gives option to get transfer to 'asian' airport for 75 euro, if you book an airport service elsewhere you pay 10 euro pp.Be aware!
Would come again when searching an not too expensive hotel for city tripping.

“A Smelly Place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

We had to move to this terrible hotel as part of our tour through Age Turizm, 2 days before and 1 day after. I had questioned the above company about this choice as I had already read bad reviews but to no avail. The four other people on the tour with us were not happy either. If you are on a tour wholesaled by this company refuse this hotel!!!
