I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The staff was polite and helpful throughout my stay, which I greatly appreciated. However, I was disappointed to find that my bedroom was not clean upon arrival and was not cleaned properly during my stay. This aspect definitely needs improvement to ensure a more pleasant stay for future guests.

They are only trying to profit from you. All the businesses surrounding the hotel, including the hotel's staff, will attempt to sell their items at prices up to 10 times higher, under the guise of friendliness. If they notice you are aware of their tactics, then you should be careful. Btw, their Turkish Hamam was amazing.

Rooms are mighty cosy - the breakfast could be much better - but, the location is terrific, real 5-9 mins to Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern etc. The hookah/sheesha place few meters down is awesome. The hotel has NO parking, and tbh, it is silly to hire a rental if youre going to be just Istanbul bound - no easy parking... The multi-stort otoparks are going to cost ~350 TLR/day - and the car will be mostly parked. The streets are mighty narrow, what googlemaos shows as a 5 min walk would be 20 mins drive.

The hotel has great staff and extremely helpful. I have previously stayed at the hotel a few times and it looks like they have made the rooms smaller. I have never stayed in a room this small. The location and area have always been great but due to the recent increase in tourists it’s now an extremely busy area. You can barely get a taxi and we ended up walking further out to catch a taxi. Again great staff who do everything they can to give you a pleasant stay.

Entire staff was very unprofessional. Rooms were way smaller than shown in the images even though they told us we got an “upgrade”. There was barely any room to walk in the standard room. They didn’t even provide us with water unless we asked. Had a horrible experience at the hamam with my friends in which they tried to have a man give the bath to my female friend and then tried acting as if there was nothing wrong with it when we confronted them. The entire hotel smelled like mold. The manager of the hotel was extremely inappropriate and unprofessional with us as well. Do NOT stay at this hotel.

Bad hotel & Not good for anything
The hotel images in the website for the room I booked show big and it have a window, but when i reach to the hotel the they give us a room under ground -1 floor and when i asked whey they say if you want a room with window you need to upgrade and it cost 100 euros. With upgrade the room was very small we cant move. The beed was super uncomfortable, we have to much back pain in the morning. The left was not working almost all the time and we need to take the stairs to many times. The breakfast was not good too not to many options. The only good thing about this hotel the staff a little bet helpful and give you a nice smile specially the cleaning staff. But overall its one of the worst hotel we have been in my life.
