The location of the hotel is perfect, right next to the tram and bus, and just two stops from the Grand Bazaar. The rooms were spotless, and breakfast had a great variety of options. Orhan, the owner, was incredibly thoughtful and friendly. He always asked if there was anything he could do to help and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. He offered us Turkish coffee twice and checked in after we left to ensure we got home safely. We truly appreciated his kindness and attention to detail.

Everything was great!

The hotel location was great, wasn’t that far from all important places, and the breakfast was really good but repetitive. The rooms and toilets are really small for the double bedrooms.

The spa was closed for maintenance reasons but I have not received any information from the hotel about this. Also week before my journey I received a price for the spa access so hotel management had time to inform me that SPA is closed.

The room and bathroom were clean. Towels and bed covers were changed on a daily basis. The breakfast was rich and to my expectation. All staff members were very friendly and helpful. They showed generous hospitality too. They went out of their way to help and give guidance. The hotel is situated very close to Aksaray tram station (one minute walk) and close to Aksaray metro station (5 minute walk). I recommend the shuttle service they offer as the prices are very reasonable, the drivers are polite and professional, and the cars are new and well maintained.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Initially, our room was a bit noisy due to street traffic and the emergency generator of nearby hotel, but the manager promptly changed our room for better one, which we really appreciated. The manager was incredibly friendly, communicative, and helpful throughout our stay. All credit to him. The hospitality of the entire staff was top-notch, making us feel welcome and well-cared for. The hotel's location was perfect, allowing us to easily explore the area. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options to choose from. Additionally, the hotel arranged our transfer to the airport, which was very convenient and stress-free. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

The new coffee machine for coffee beans and the offer of fresh orange juice would be nice.

The breakfast was very good, the room very comfortable and quiet, and the staff was extremely friendly. I was pleasantly surprised.

The area is not extremely beautiful and a bit noisy, but it has easy access to the tram and is walking distance from the Suleimaniye Mosque and the Grand Bazar.

It was one of the most beautiful experiences we've had. The food was delicious and diversified, and the hospitality was at another level. Every day the rooms are cleaned and you get new towels and new room slippers. Everything you need, Mr Orhan is there to help you. He is one of the most respectful and nice men we meet.

The highlight was definitely the service provided by Vlad and Abdu, they were super helpful especially Vlad. They made my stay very welcoming and also assisted me with local places to see. The breakfast was also good.

I would say that I didn’t like that there were local delivery trucks super early in the morning loud talking in the streets with the locals. Also I would say that the pictures looked nicer than the rooms and also the pool and gym weren’t in use. This seems like it has been out for a few months. Also this has nothing to do with the hotel, more my observation. I would stay on the Asian side of Istanbul next time since there is a lot more going on regarding traditional restaurants and cafes and It’s a lot cheaper for food.

The hotel manager did everything to make sure we were happy and comfortable. The service and cleaning was quite good. We also liked the breakfast and the facilities in general. The hotel is located 20min walking from the main attractions and has public transport access very close, which was a big plus for us.

Because it is located in the city centre, there is street noise, but again, the manager was happy to give us an option of a quieter room. When we booked we thought the swimming pool was included in the price, after booking I could see that it would be an additional charge to use the pool. I would recommend the hotel to make it clear on the main description.

Staff is very helpful and cooperative. They understand the needs and desire of a tourist and ready to facilitate. I like to mention Orhan, Abdullah and Usman helped me and advised me about the information,and advised me about some issues I had. Breakfast had a lot of choices but not much varieties in fresh fruit. Good selection in cheese,bread and salad.

Shower cubicle was tight but I love the water pressure in shower. Mini fridge does not work. I pointed out about it but still it was not replaced or repaired. I was advised to keep my food or drink items in the kitchen fridge which in my view not convenient. If you are feeling thirsty in the middle if night and like to drink something cold you need to leave your room to go to the kitchen' fridge and find your items there.
