Reviews
Emma from United Kingdom (10/10)
Location is tip top. Easy 10 min walk to all main attractions. Yes it is right next to a train line however we didn't find that a problem and the view was superb from our top floor room. Who couldn't like a panoramic view of the Bosphorus especially with the beautiful blue skies we were fortunate enough to receive. The large bed and bedding were immaculate and the en-suite spacious and very clean. Hamid was excellent. Extremely personable and friendly. Aziz gave excellent communication and was delightful upon meeting. We would wholeheartedly recommend and will definitely be returning. Thank you gentlemen for a most wonderful and memorable stay.
Mohamed from Belgium (10/10)
The location is very good, ideal for families, the rooms are big and spacious. The beds are very comfortable, the sheets are first-class quality and new, completely cotton. It is a new hotel anyway, everything is very new, very clean. The location is perfect, only 5-7 minutes away from the hippodrome. Hagia Sophia, the blue mosque and the tram are very close.

Elif from France (10/10)
’est la première fois qu’un hôtel me fait cet effet, un apaisement total.
La vue qu’offre cette chambre est juste splendide. Quand vous passez la journée à marcher et que le soir ou le matin au réveil vous avez cette vue : vous ne pouvez qu’être comblé !
L’hôtel est très propre et le personnel vraiment gentil.
La salle de bain est spacieuse et moderne.
Je suis venue seule et je n’ai eu aucun problème. Pour le côté sécurité, Aziz fait le maximum pour que vous vous sentiez bien.
De plus, l’hôtel est juste à 2 min de la station Cankurtaran, un arrêt qui peut vous amener au centre d’Istanbul assez facilement.
Je reviendrais avec certitude et je recommande à 3000% cet hôtel.
Ce séjour assez court a été une très belle expérience !
Merci encore pour tout !
