I recently stayed at this hotel and was extremely disappointed with the experience. First off, the check-in process was a nightmare. It took forever, and the staff seemed completely disorganized. Poor English as well.. By the time I finally got to my room, I was already frustrated. But the worst was yet to come. The room itself was far from clean. The housekeepers clearly didn’t do their job properly—dust was visible on surfaces, and the bathroom looked like it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in days. To make matters worse, the room was full of mosquitoes, making it nearly impossible to get a good night's sleep. For the price they charge, I expected much better. Honestly, this place feels more like a 3-star hotel, and even that might be generous. It’s way too expensive for nothing special. I would definitely not recommend staying here.

My family and I stayed here in July 2024 and had a great experience. The staff is nice, friendly, and polite. If you want to use the pool, you must buy and wear a swimming cap, which they sell for 60 TL.

The property and the services exceeded my expectations. I was there for 8 nights and i had a great stay! Only minus is the area (lots of mechanic shops, and warehouses, etc.) There isn't much to do on foot. But with a car, you can get to everything you need to in less than 10-15 minutes.

The hotel is in a slightly industrial type area affording a good opportunity to see work and bustle in a non-tourist environment but still with many local restaurants to hand. Istanbul library is a short walk (we'll worth a visit for it's community spaces) and T4 metro/tram line station is also very close by. They serve a good breakfast and we all enjoyed swimming in the pool.
