7.1Good
HUSSEIN, Mar 2018

Pros. This is 3 stars hotel with great value of money in term of its strategic location near to old city and Sultanahmet square Staff are friendly and easy quick check in

Cons. The room need to be painted properly because it had few scratches, the floor wasn't properly wiped, and the breakfast needs improvement

7.1Good
Anonymous, Oct 2014

Pros. Excellent location, just off the tourist areas and next to the Haggia Sophia. Great Beds Lots of power sockets excellent WIFI good sized refrigerator Nice modern architectural ambiance

Cons. The staff recalled our taxi after we had left because the Concierge insisted we had to take a 35 Euro Limousine to the Airport and not the taxi they called for us. This wasted our time, money, ruined a good stay at the hotel and seriously calls into question the hotel staff ethics. The showers are insanely small and if you are not athletic and crazy skinny, it could be quite an experience for you. Do not pay extra for breakfast, it is already included. I would stay here again, but I would never ask them to call for a taxi.
