Breakfast praised in Arabic: The 6.7k-view tour covers the buffet in detail — the hotel's Gulf following is loyal.
Old-town position: with historic-modern fusion rooms, per the licensed listing.
8.7/10: from nearly 480 verified stays.
Laleli-side value: Practical old-town four-star — the breakfast tour is the most useful watch.

the hotel was beautiful and location was great but the bar and restaurant downstairs was cluttered with luggage, they should tidy that up
It was advertised as having a fitness centre but there wasnt a gym at all, they need to take that off as its misleading. The lobby area is also very stuffy and hot, either no ventilation or heater is on too hot, need to change that My initial booking was a double bed in a standard room and the room size was absolutely tiny, so if you are sharing with someone else you have no space to move around, barely any space to place your luggage The beds could have been softer
Opravdu skvělé snídaně, velký výběr, vše čisté a čerstvé. Jídelna je ve vyšším patře, s výhledem na město. Pohodlné postele, skvělá lokalita hned u zastávky tramvaje. V dochozí vzdálenosti ke stanici metra a navzdory obrovské rozloze Istanbulu, kdy nelze vše obsáhnout pěšky, se zde nachází v bezprostřední blízkosti mnoho památek. V hotelu možnost SPA. Všichni byli velice přátelští. V blízkém okolí naleznete vše, co můžete potřebovat - obchody, restaurace.
Nic zásadního.
