The staff was very friendly, breakfast was good with local food. The room was small, but it was clean. You are in the middle of Sirkeci area. Just a few minutes from Topkapi Palace. Lots of shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our trip to Istanbul!

Breakfast menu included cooked meats, cheeses, olives and local produce as well as breads, cereals and fruit and served until 1030am. Rooms spotless and modern bathrooms make this an... More

Even before we arrived at the hotel, the management sent us an email welcoming us to the property with several useful links for Istanbul and the surrounding area. The hotel offered free pickup at Ataturk airport so we took advantage of this. The... More

We were here for 3 nights. Our room appeared a little out dated, we were on the 6th floor so we had to take 2 different elevators to get there (both elevators didn't even get you to the 6th floor). Sort of a hassle when you have 2 really big suitcases to carry. The bed was hard, my back started... More
