Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I stayed here for one night. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast on the rooftop was really good as well. The location is quite good - all kinds of great restaurants and bars nearby. Plus major locations are less than 10 minutes walking. Safe neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this place.

Rooms are very compact but the service, facilities, and location is great and makes it a worthwhile stay! It’s a 5 minute walk from all the main attractions and the area is busy and safe. The Hotel also has a lovely terrace cafe with good views of the city.

Great little hotel in a brilliant location for those wanting to explore the old city. The staff were super welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. Incredible views from the top terrace above the restaurant area especially at night. Would definitely recommend!

Room size is too small. Not comfortable at all.I stayed in 3 hotels in this area in similar price range, this is too small. Breakfast spread is good and staff at Breakfast service are very helpful. Location is main advantage to this hotel, center of everything.

The hotel is well located in the old town. The rooms and bathrooms are small but in good condition and comfortable. There is a nice top floor breakfast area and the breakfast has a number of local options. The main negative is the amount of noise on the street outside which woke us up repeatedly. There was also a large and irritating noise made by the door just outside the hotel which was made every time someone opened it, at time up to 15 times an hour, it was loud enough to wake us up. The staff were friendly and helpful except in the booking of restaurants. Although they did help with our first restaurant on the day we arrived they made lots of excuses why they could not get our bookings on other nights while trying to hard sell us on a cruise dinner. In the end we managed to easily book our restaurants online so clearly there was not an issue as we were told.

This hotel is located 3 min walking distance to the tram and connects you to all attractions. In walking distance is a beautiful rooftop bar called grace that I recommend too. The personell at the hotel was super nice and helpful. In general I recommend staying here when on budget. The rooms are rather small but enough for a city trip.

Great location for all the major attractions. About a 10 minute walk from most. Restaurants right on your doorstep but I would suggest travelling a bit out for better food that is more reasonably priced. Staff are very knowledgable and helpful. Mustafa and Bogru at the front desk made everything very easy for us!

The hotel arranged airport transfers for both journeys and they were reasonably priced and on time. With that out of the way let me get on with the review of the hotel. Wow. My wife and I loved it there. The first room we were given was at street level, so we asked for a room on a higher floor. This was given to us with no fuss or drama just a smile and an "of course". The room was big enough for us and our bag, came with a mini bar, safe and hot drink making facilities. The bathroom was large, clean and well maintained with plenty of towels, soaps shampoos etc. Also a nice balcony with a window/door which was nice as it was quite warm. Breakfast consisted of a continental buffet with scrambled eggs and baked items. Perfectly adequate for our needs. They also offered Turkish coffee at the end of your breakfast, if you are into that. This is a lively boutique/pensione style hotel and the best attribute is their employees. We were greeted with smiles and welcomes by everyone from the housekeeper, kitchen workers and the front office staff. They patiently answered our questions, gave good advice and helped when needed. In particular Çem, Mustafa and Burçu. They even came out of the hotel to say goodbye. Long and short we were treated like family. We would definitely go back there again without hesitation. As far as room size., Most hotels of this type and price have smaller rooms. And as I mentioned they are adequate.
