  The room was not only spacious and immaculately clean, but also styled with a modern and chic decor. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive. Additionally, the air conditioning was excellent, ensuring our comfort throughout the stay.

• Osama from Sweden (8/10)

  Very good area, right next to the tram station. A few minutes walk to many tourist attractions, Gulhane park, Sultanahmet, bazaar, etc. Elif has been quick to respond and is very professional!

• Oleg from United Kingdom (7/10)

  The location, ease of check in, WiFi and host communication were great. We have especially loved the concept of a staff-less hotel, where you are being contacted directly via the Booking messenger.
  
  Complementary drink in a fridge and the modern interior were also a great touch.

• Efrain from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The room was clean and looked just like the photos on Booking. The location is fantastic, with a 10-minute walking distance to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. Additionally, there is a beautiful park, Gulhane Park, next to the property, and best of all, a tram station just a few steps away. They were kind enough to leave complimentary beverages in the fridge and some pots of coffee. The building has been recently refurbished, so everything looks good. Host communication is excellent; she promptly replies to the messages you leave on Booking.
