Pros:

Couldn’t have asked for a better location! The hotel was in a great area central to all the major sites, shops and restaurants. Easy access to the tram to explore the other side of the river and other parts of the city. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to help us with any arrangements we needed. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We did note a slight smell in our bathrooms from the water lines/drains but it did not affect our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral zu vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten, zu dem ist die Marmaray und Tramvay innerhalb 5 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen, die Fähren sind 10 Min. entfernt. Das Hotel ist sehr sauber gewesen und wurde täglich nach Wunsch auch gereinigt. Die Putzkräfte, sowie die Mitarbeiter/-innen an der Rezeption waren sehr freundlich, wir wurden immer gefragt ob alles in Ordnung ist bzw. wir etwas benötigen. Die Rezeption ist sehr klein aber rund um die Uhr besetzt. Ein Aufzug ist vorhanden, der ist leider einmal kurz ausgefallen während unseres Aufenthalt. Das Hotel wurde neu renoviert. Mein Zimmer war in der ersten Etage, da es eine sehr lebendige Gegend ist kann es etwas laut werden, ich persönlich fand es nicht störend. Das Zimmer meiner Schwestern in der fünften Etage, war schon ruhiger. Die Zimmer und die Toiletten sind sehr geräumig und klimatisiert. Mir persönlich hat ein Stuhl zum Schminken und ein ganzkörper Spiegel zum Outfit abchecken gefehlt. Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis war top, bei den Konditionen würde ich dieses Hotel weiterempfehlen und auch selbst erneut wieder buchen. Frühstück wird hier nicht angeboten, für mich kein muss. Einfach nur alles super gewesen.

Pros:

A good clean place to put your head down for the night. AC works well. Small rooms but typical of all hotels in the area. Food and shopping around the area is expensive but again that’s due to closeness to the sights. Tram stop 2 mins walk away - easy access to Galata side also.

Metro also 4 mins away to transfer to Anatolian side.

Pros:

Het hotel is in Sirkeci, wat een uitstekende uitvalsbasis is als je heel Istanbul wil verkennen. Allerlei winkels en ov zijn op loopafstand.
Het hotel zelf is recent verbouwd en ziet er van binnen prachtig uit. De kamers zijn, relatief gezien, ruim! Badkamers zijn prachtig. Personeel is zeer attent en liefdevol. Al met al was het een uitstekend verblijf.

De omgeving is druk, dus je hoort in je kamer echt wel het geluid van buiten. Wij hadden er geen last van maar als je hier gevoelig voor bent dan is het misschien een betere keus om een ander gebied te kiezen. Dit heeft dus niet met het hotel te maken, maar met de omgeving.

Ik raad dit hotel van harte aan!

Pros:

Great location near Sirkeci Station. First class/friendly/ mostly helpful staff

But when I mentioned that someone was smoking cigarettes on the 3rd or 4th floor the response was a shoulder shrug. Like"that is Istanbul'. Not a beneficial response
