Nice staff. parking lot was adjacent and super cheap (200 Turkish liradan per day - same as the hourly rate just up the ill). Free breakfast. The building is a bit dated, but with a rate like that, super cheap, could not complain as it was near the water (Kumkapi), and within all the places we wanted to see (Museums just up the hill and to the east.... I would recommend this place I would.

It’s alright.

Mediocre hotel. Nothing special about it. Breakfast was good. The bed made me itch a bit but not sure if it because of the perfumes the hotel use. Close to the metro station. Terrace was closed when we were visiting. No elevator present. It’s doable if you manage to get a low price.

Hotel is in amazing area, in the food street and walk able to main attractions like blue mosque and grand bazar.
