I spent one week in this hotel with my sister. The location of the hotel is perfect, metro and tram stations are within walking distance. Most of the attractions are also well accessible. Very good service: Kemal and Sinan were very friendly and gave us valuable tips😊

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean but could do with some renovating. Walls were very thin so it got noisy at times from people in the halls and neighbouring rooms. The location was excellent, within a 15 minute walk to all the major attractions and next to a tram stop.

Excellent location
A great hotel in the heart of Istanbul. A few minutes walk to Hagia Sofia and many restaurants/cafes/bars on the street outside the hotel. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast had a great selection and our baby was accommodated with a high chair.

Zubair

This hotel is outdated and in need of significant renovation. The bathroom towels are very old and nearly resemble cleaning rags. The sink in the bathroom was leaking, adding to the inconvenience. The reception staff have limited English proficiency, making communication difficult. The breakfast buffet offers the same traditional Turkish breakfast every day, with no alternative options available. Otherwise centrally located near all the major attractions within walking distance and plenty of restaurants around the hotel.

Great location.
It was a nice hotel. Great location. Was about to walk to a lot of places. Easily accessible to trams. I wouldve preffered the breakfast hosted on the top floor with a view rather than in -1. Also they could have provided more turkish authentic breakfast options.

Perfect city center location
The hotel is right in the city center; walking distance to all sights; the boats and markets. Rooms are updated and nicely decorated. Breakfast contains lots of local dishes and plenty to choose from- it’s a little busy if you go towards the end though. The pool is quite unique and was completely empty when we went which was very nice and relaxing. The orient express theme everywhere makes it very nostalgic. Very friendly staff that also gives tips to local activities. The rooftop restaurant has a great view and is even great for bird watching

Fix the internet speed. Staff is thoughtful, kind and courteous. Jacuzzi and pool are cold. Breakfast is average. They sold out of my room and moved me to a different hotel for 1 night. That had garbage internet and the night guy ignored my internet complaint. Rooms are small but this was disclosed I'm advance.
