Hotel je nadmašio naša očekivanja. Nalazi se na izvrsnoj lokaciji, veoma je udoban, čist i s vrlo ljubaznim osobljem. Osobito bih pohvalila recepcionere Kenana i Ahmeta koji su nam se u svakom trenutku trudili pomoći.

Everything was perfect. Large, beautiful, clean, and newly renovated rooms. I have nothing to complain about. The hotel’s location is perfect, right across from Galata Port, close to Istiklal and the tram station that goes to Fatih (Grand Bazaar and Mosques). The breakfast was very good, with everything you need (eggs, vegetables, fruits, jams...), and fresh products. The hotel owner is very nice. Parking is available in front of the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel.

Brand new hotel, so everything was clean and in immaculate condition. Very friendly and polite personel that catered for all our needs (thank you Mustafa). All of them speak English, something that is not so common in Istanbul. The whole hotel smells perfectly, they occasionally spray a discreet perfume everywhere, the swimming pool and its jacuzzi are great after a walking day in the city, very clean and relaxing. The spa area is also perfectly clean. In the hotel there is a nice confectionery MADO, open till late. The hotel is next to Metro 2 Istanbul and in close distance to Tram 1 that takes you to the centre of the town. The area although central is not congested but is at at the same time very safe at night. All in all we are totally satisfied and we would totally recommend this hotel.

    We chose this apartment because of its amazing price. Despite being quite affordable, the location was very convenient for us, with the downtown area easily accessible by foot or by bus. The apartment met our expectations - simple but sufficient for our needs. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option close to the city, this is a solid pick.

    Location is perfect, a 10-15 min walk to Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, a 30 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Lots of great and affordable restaurants around, lots of markets for food and drinks or souvenirs (they are a lot cheaper here than at the bazaar btw). Easy to get a taxi if you need it. Good Turkish breakfast was included.
