Pros:

Hotel w dobrej lokalizacji.

Cons:

Skromne śniadania na które musisz zejść toż po 8:00 bo poźniej nie masz co jeść bo nie dokładają jedzenie. Duży problem z zaparkowaniem samochodu.

Pros:

Clean and great value for money

Cons:

Booked a room with 1x double bed and 2x single beds. We arrived late at night and had given the hotel notice of this, also they have 24/7 reception. They took us to our room but there was only one double bed and one single bed. Staff seemed quite stressed about this and at one point suggested we just squeeze the beds together and make do with 4x people! Eventually they found us suitable rooms. No mini fridge or TV they had been taken out of the room. When we asked to store luggage the next morning they were very unhelpful, suggesting we just leave it in the hotel lobby out in the open area of the corridor and only after prompting and pointing to a side room near reception where it appeared other guests had left bags did they let us store them there too. Odd and a bit unnecessary.

Pros:

The best value for money based on my 29 years of experience visiting this part of Istanbul. The location is close to the tram and metro and is about a fifteen minute walk from the historical part. Our room was oriented towards the interior with no view, but with nice mattresses and surprisingly quiet for a peaceful sleep. The breakfast selection is not very large but everything is tasty and of high quality.
The cleanliness of the room and the breakfast restaurant were at a very high level. For that price I have never seen better service.

Cons:

There was nothing negative, we will definitely come again.
