I was supposed to stay at this hotel for three days and extend my stay if I was satisfied. Fortunately, this hotel is very clean, safe, and comfortable, with the best access to the city center. The staff's behavior is very friendly. Mr. Nihat is one of the best, highly responsible, and ensures excellent supervision of the restaurant and breakfast management. The atmosphere inside the hotel is very friendly, and the staff's behavior is polite and respectful. Mr. Guylen, the hotel interior manager, is very organized and meticulous. I am very satisfied and even extended my stay at this hotel for another week. Whenever I come to Istanbul again, I will choose this hotel.

I loved this boutique hotel, on the coner in the thick of things.walkable to a lot of tourists spot. Lively and active area like NYC . Yet in the hotel quiet and comfortable. Be careful in clubs, 2 in our group were scammed by women who work with the club. Also get the hotel to arrange for Taxi -$35.00 when they did it, $80 when we did.
