Reviews
Sabina from Italy (9/10)
the location is amazing, right in the middle of life but room super quiet and with a lovely balcony. The tram stop is really a few minutes away if you want to reach the port or the metro stop, and everywhere is surrounded by amazing bars, food, music places and so on. The BKM itself has a club on the first floor where they host stand-up comedy and other events, and they have a very nice bar and restaurant very popular. The price was great as well! Would go back straightaway
Freddie from Vietnam (9/10)
great location, room was basic but fine, shared bathroom was really clean and didn't have to share with many other guests, didn't have to wait to use it once. Staff let us leave our bags after checkout and let us check in about 1:30am. unlimited free water, coffee and teas in the shared area. room was soundproofed well.
Oana from Romania (9/10)
Great location, on a very animated street, but you can’t hear any of the noise from the room so we slept very well. Basic room but with everything that you need, including toiletries and slippers. We appreciated having a balcony and complimentary tea and coffee. On New Year’s Eve we found some sweets and snacks and a best wishes letter from the hosts.

Miroslava from Russia (9/10)
I stayed there twice – with shared and private bathroom. Even the shared one was very clean. Many thanks to the cleaning lady, and she was always nice and polite whenever I saw her.

The location on the Asian side of Istanbul was excellent for me as the hotel is on one of the streets in KADIKÖY with many bars and restaurants and I was attending a show in a venue opposite the hotel. The area is full of restaurants, cafes, bars and nightlife with a much more local feel than the European side of Istanbul.
