Amazing stay, amazing location!

My day was amazing. This was my second time staying at this property in Istanbul and I have to say it was as expected. The location was very central and I could see the Galata Tower from my room places like Taksim Square were walkable. The host was very accommodating and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody traveling to Istanbul.

I wish I could post the pictures of this hotel and their so called “superior room”. The place is super noisy, no curtains to give you privacy. The bed is super uncomfortable, the bathroom was disgusting, bugs on the ceiling. Overall, total waste of your money. The only positive part of it was Bora (the hotel receptionist), he was really nice and tried his best to make my 5 day stay worthwhile but unfortunately it was impossible because the property is in dire need of some repairs.

Booked a ‘deluxe’ room for three nights however it was unavailable the first night. I was told by a staff member that this was due the previous occupant being unwell and unable to travel so needed to stay an extra night. The manager later admitted that it was just double booked. No discount or refund was

The staff and location are great. Especially if your a foodie and shopper. Upstairs bar EXCELLENT spot to have a nip. That said. Black-mold all over the shower enclosure a huge no-no. Never slept for three nights as well. Ear-plugs, sleeping-pills with/without drinks. Keep late hours wont really matter either. But location & elevator. And 'SnogBar'.

It’s my second time in duo. They have two buildings face to face and the first time it was great and with more room. I booked by mistake in the second building which is more “budget”. Veryyy smal room, and incredibly noisy: although on same street, very bad insulations. You hear everyone like it’s right next door it’s unbearable.

Stay here if you feel like getting ripped off

When making the reservations; they list deluxe room "25 meters sq" and Superior "30 meters sq" for a higher price. Also room without breakfast & room with breakfast included for a higher price. I opted for a bigger room and breakfast so I paid the higher price. When I walked to the room #102, it seemed not 30 meters sq, so I measured and it was barley 24 meters sq. I went back to the front desk thinking that they made a mistake. His response that it's the right room, but when I insisted that it's the smaller room, then he said that I was right, but the bigger rooms were sold out; so I asked him to refund me the extra I paid, he said he wouldn't and to take it up with Expedia! Also didn't even offer any gesture. In the morning went for the breakfast, there I had a plate of eggs and when I asked for other breakfast things, then he brought me a very small plate with tomatoes, cucumber and olives. Then made me paid for it and the orange juice. They list breakfast on Expedia, not only plate of eggs, thank god he didn't make me pay for bread

Affordable hotel in great (but bustling) location

Great hotel and comfy beds HOWEVER, the street noise is very loud. It's a bustling neighborhood and there were people chatting (very clearly heard) until 3 am. I stay up late anyway so not a huge problem for me but fyi to other people. Also the call to prayer speaker seems like it's right there so you will be awakened at 5:30/6 am. FANTASTIC LOCATION though! Close the the main street that takes you to Taksim Square and super close to Galata Tower.
