We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The accommodations were very comfortable for a group of three, however, what stands out is how helpful and kind the staff was throughout our entire stay. Fatih and MK took such great care of us; Greeted us with a smile every time no matter what time we came in or went out. They went above and beyond to give us information about the city, arrange transportation, and make sure we had whatever we could think of including a mobile wifi device for our use. We will definitely stay at this property again. 🤗

Great pre-cruise hotel, and reasonably . pricedRoom was spacious and staff were very helpful and all spoke English which made it easier! Location was the best …just off istiklal ave! Hotel had no amenities or on site restaurants, but that was OK as very close to the heart of the action. One complaint I had was insufficient lighting in the bathroom.
