Verified guest reviews via booking partner
the room was very comfortable, the mattress too. the shower the spacious and had good water pressure. the staff was super nice and helpful. travelling alone, I felt safe and well in this hotel.
the bathroom could do with a shelf or some place for cosmetics. the entrance to the hotel is not very convincing, nor is the staircase.
I stay here every time I'm in Istanbul! The location couldn't get any better. It's very well connected to public transportation: short walk away from Eminonu Bus stop and Ferry Terminal, Sirkeci Train Station, Gulhane Tram Station. Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Sultaniye Mosque, Egyptian Market, Grand Bazaar are all a short walk away. The neighborhood is packed with restaurants. The staff take very good care of guests. I felt very welcome and enjoyed my conversations at the front desk. I got some excellent recommendations about food, safety and places to visit. They let me store my luggage for a couple of weeks. I look forward to staying here again.
