New hotel with spacious rooms and awesome staff. We enjoyed our stay a lot and definitely recommend this place. Just note that the area shuts down by 10 and few to no places remain open afterwards at all. All great aside from that.

I had a fantastic view of the Blue Mosque and Bosporus from my window. The value of the overall situation makes me glad that I overlooked prior negative reviews of the property. You have to go with the flow especially if the price is right. So I was not bothered by the broken toilet handle when I could walk to all the Old City sights in less tha 10 minutes.

You get what you pay for

The view was great! We had a view of a mosque and the ocean in the distance so that was nice! However, the room did not seem like it was cleaned. The sheets had stains all over them, the comforter they gave us was tiny, and we weren’t given any sheets other than one laying on top of the mattress. The toilet paper also had some small bugs on it so we did not feel comfortable using it.

In the Heart of the Happening

The room and bathroom is small but clean. But all we were looking for was a place close to the happening so we could in a short time (2 days) get to know Istanbul A BIT (not that this is ever possible especially not in two days :-) ) . This is in a five minute walk to the tram station - the best way to getting around in the Old City and beyond (we find). In 10 min walking distance from the Aya Sofya and the 'Blue Mosque' as well as other attractions i.e. the Cisterns and the Grand Bazaar. The breakfast was good with a good variety and a FANTASTIC view over the water and parts of the city - WOW!

Espantoso.

La recepción del hotel estaba toda desordenada, al entrar a la habitación había un globo arriba de una lámpara, las toallas mal lavadas, los muebles viejos y percudidos por la humedad, al abrir la canilla del vanitory el agua salía por debajo y el desayuno pobre.
