My stay at the hotel was pleasant. The rooms were very clean and spacious with a large bed, but we were near a staff stairwell, which was a bit noisy in the mornings. The service was excellent, with friendly and accommodating staff. The location was perfect for sightseeing and accessing transportation options. The dining experience was decent, with typical Mediterranean options but could use more variety. Overall, a good value for the money.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a little small, were very clean and quiet, providing a home-like and clean feel. However, its proximity to a staff stairwell led to some morning noise from the kitchen. The service was exceptional, with the staff taking a personal interest in ensuring guests' comfort and even offering helpful insights about Istanbul. The location was superb, being close to major historical attractions and public transportation. The dining experience, although not fitting typical American expectations, was good with fresh seasonal fruits. Overall, a comfortable and friendly hotel with great value for money.

I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel! The rooms, though a bit small, were very functionally laid out and exceptionally clean. The shower was fantastic, and having a balcony overlooking the street added a nice touch. I would have preferred the rooms to be larger and closer to the sites.

I had a stay at the hotel that was overall pleasant. The rooms were very clear with a simple contemporary design, recently refurbished, but they were very small, with the bathroom inside the room. The WiFi was a bonus, making it convenient for staying connected.

The service at the hotel made our journey even better with their nice attitude and willingness to provide assistance. However, there were instances where staff members waited for a tip after turning everything on and off. This could have been improved.

Location

The hotel's location was good, close to the main metro stations, trams, and other sights. It is situated next to Vezne Metro station, which is the newest in Istanbul, and is also conveniently located near many emblematic locations of Old Istanbul. However, the area lacked excellent dining options, being filled mainly with tacky shops and street sellers.

Dining

The dining experience offered a rich and diversified selection for salty options, but lacked variety for sweet choices. The breakfast spread was amazing with a wide assortment of bread, cheeses, eggs, sausages, vegetables, salads, fruits, and cereals. Although ample, it took some adjustment for American expectations.
