Otel konum olarak çok iyi ulaşım olarak çok rahat ettik gerçekten oda küçüktü ama biz sadece dinlenmek ve uyumak için geldimiz için sıkıntı olmadı odamız temizdi
Otelin konumu mükemmel, iskeleye, galataya yürüme mesafesi, odalar gayet temizdi ilgili personeller çok nazik ve profesyonellerdi. Arkadaşımla 4 gece konakladık ve çok memnun kaldık

Clean room, incredibly helpful staff and rooftop bar with DJ
Centrally located. Easy access to places in old Istanbul. Lots of traditional Turkish food dining opportunities within easy walking distance. Very friendly and genuine staff all around. We'll be back.
Otelin konumu mükemmel araçla geliyorsanız otopark biraz uzakta o yüzden araçla gelmeyi tercih etmeyin odalar çok küçük ama oldukça kaliteli dizayn edilmiş otel yeni çok merkezi teras barı çok sevimli manzara çok hoş genel anlamda iş seyahati için ve gezmek için tercih ederiz
Tengo que decir que aunque la ubicación es muy buena, la limpieza y comodidad de las habitaciones es genial, lo mejor ha sido la amabilidad del personal. Estuve hospedado aquí mismo unas semanas atrás y me recibieron como si fuera familia. Muy amables. Me encantó! Un gran hotel.
Sehr schönes sauberes Hotel, toller Ausblick auf Haliç, die Mitarbeiter sind sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen, man kann zu Fuss, mit der Tram und der Fähre alle Orte unkompliziert und schnell erreichen. Istanbul ist eine sehr schöne facettenreiche Metropole. Kommen immer wieder gerne. 👌💐💝💝
J’ai adoré mon séjour, je suis restée une semaine et tout était génial !
Les restaurants du bâtiment, le staff, l’emplacement, la vue du rooftop … merci beaucoup :)
