Разположението на хотела е на около 17-18 минути от Египетския обелиск на Хиподрума. Закуската беше много добра. В хотела е чисто, ново обзавеждане. Банята е нормална като размери. Паркингът е до самия хотел и е на цена 230 TL за денонощие, плаща се кеш. Няма къде да се паркира безплатно.
Milos from Serbia (7/10)
Sam hotel kao hotel je odličan. Za svaku preporuku. Odličan izbor za uložen novac.
Nažalost druge stvari su učinile da naš boravak ne dobije ocenu 10/10 (sam hotel je 10/10) Lokacija je sjajna, osoblje fantastično, hrana veoma ukusna. U blizini hotela se nalazi restoran Nasip-Et u kome su zaposleni bili veoma gostoljubivi (12/10). Miran kraj i relativno siguran. Jedna osoba na bookingu je napisala da je hotel zavučen i da ga je teško pronaći. Slažem se, ali morate biti svesni da je u Istanbulu svaki hotel zavučen i da ih je sve teško pronaći. Pogotovo ako želite da budete u blizini centra.Elena from Bulgaria (8/10)

Отель удобно расположен, все достопримечательности в шаговой доступности. Был включён завтрак. Для того чтобы переночевать между прогулками по городу самое то. В номере было чисто, регулярно убирались. Приятный персонал.
