Guest Reviews
- Lobna (10/5): - Das Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen. Es ist sehr sauber und die Lage ist top, nur 2 Minuten von der Bahnhaltestelle entfernt. Sabah und der nette Mann an der Rezeption sind die nettesten Rezeptionisten, die ich jemals kennengelernt habe. Die sind sehr hilfbereit und man fühlt sich wirklich wie zu Hause. Das Hotel bietet die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem Taxi vom Flughafen abholen zu lassen, und auch eine SIM-Karte zu einem sehr fairen Preis zu kaufen.
- Andreas (8/5): - All good - thank you for hospitation.
- DEREK (8/5): - Large rooms and large bathroom. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would certainly consider staying there again on my next trip to wonderful Istanbul.
- Baran (4/5): - Nach mehrmaliger Aufforderung und bitte, dass wir die Reklamation an den Manager leiten sollten, kann keine Antwort.
- Eduardo (6/5): - La atención del personal fue excelente!!! Particularmente Mr "World".
- Beyzanur (10/5): - War klasse ! kann ich weiterempfehlen :)
- Hayal Teuta (10/5): - Nette hotel in een mooie gelegenheid
- Eduardo (10/5): - The best option if you want to stay in this side of İstanbul. The renewed Galata Port area at few steps. Galata tower a nice and short walking, Excelent ubication. Clean ando confortable rooms. The best for the price
- Ertac (8/5): - Sehr aufmerksame, freundliche und hilfsbereite Hotelpersonal. Sehr gute zentrale Lage.
- Roly (6/5): - Great location! Average facilities.
- Muhammed (4/5): - Personal war sehr freundlich aber die Bettwäschen und Handtücher waren dreckig
- Alihan (4/5): - Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel in unmittelbarer Nähe !
- Betül (2/5): - Check in war schon ein Problem, wir müssten ne Stunde warten bis sich jemand für uns gekümmert hat. Die Bilder im Internet haben nichts mit der Realität zutun. Null hygienisch alles in der Dusche verschimmelt. Einzig positive Standort vom Hotel. Sehr nah an Galataport.
- Furkan (10/5): Super hotel - Super hotel. Sauber und freundliche Arbeiter. Zu fuß zu Taksim und galatakulesi sehr nah. 1 min Fußweg zur Metro. Werde wiederkommen
- Abdul (10/5): excellent stay - very nice staff. Excellent location. Clean place
- Jorge L A (10/5): Hotel turístico - Quarto extremamente limpo e organizado. Banheiro amplo, limpo e moderno. Disponibilizam toalhas, loção de banho e shampoo. Além disso, disponibilizam chaleira elétrica, café e chá solúveis de graça. Não possui café da manhã (restaurante fechado desde a pandemia), mas conta com excelentes opções nas proximidades. Só a TV que não estava sintonizando os canais, mas não era um problema, já que não entendo nada em tuco (risos). O atendimento certamente foi um diferencial! Os recepcionistas são extremamente atenciosos e cuidadosos com cada detalhe da sua experiência, sempre com dicas precisas, para que a viajem seja satisfatória. A localização é estratégica e próximo de tudo! Recomendo fortemente para quem deseja ficar próximo às atrações turísticas, como a Torre Galata, o Galataport e as mesquitas. Fica próximo também da Praça Taksim e suas ruas bem movimentadas.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location/price option - Great option for the price and location. Room was big compared to those of other 3-star hotels and it was clean. Host was very attentive. It was a little noisy.
- Ahmet (4/5): - Die Mitarbeiter waren nett aber haben nicht jeden tag ein handtuch bekommen immer erst dann wenn wir es angesprochen haben
- Murat (2/5): Kötü tecrübe - Trivago üzerinden Yapmış olduğumuz ve ödemesini yaptığımız otele gitigimizde hotels com la anlaşmalarının olmadığını ve kabul etmeyeceklerini söyleyip bizi otele kabul etmediler ve dolandirildigimizi söylediler otelde bulunan resepsiyon a bakan arkadaşın otel müdürü dediği ve bizi telefonda görüştüğü kişi nişanlımla beraber buyuk bir hayal kırıklığına girdik gece saat 01:00 civarları trivago gibi kurumsal bir firmanın nasil boyle bir hata yapacağına anlam veremedik gece boyunca Türkçe yardım alamadık ve yakında bir otele gittik ordada malesef yer bulamadık ve resepsiyondaki arkadas bize yardımcı oldu ve gece boyunca yaklaşık 1-2 saat hotels yurt dişi cagri merkeziyle görüştük ve malesef yer olmadığını bölgedeki otellerin tamamen dolu olduğunu söylediler ve bölgeye cok uzak Ümraniye'den yer verebileceklerini söylediler oysaki bölgedeki bir cok otelde yer görünüyordu sonra 500 tl ye kadar bir otelde kalabileceğimizi ve ödemenin karşılanacağını söylediler gece saat 03:00 olmustu ve disarda kalmıştık ve kac gündür görüşmemize rağmen bir sonuca ulaşılmadı henuz net bir sonuç donus yapılmadı telafi edilmedi sorunumuz sadece para iademiz yapıldı anlam veremiyorum uluslar arası boyle bir şirketin ilgisizliğine boyle bir olay yurt dışında olsaydi acaba ne olurdu herhalde yoneticiler bununla ilgili ciddiyetin farkındadırlar ..,,
- Oleksiy (8/5): Nice hotel in a good location, reasonable price - We, an "old couple" stayed here for several days for a combined sightseeing/family reunification, so our primary goals were relatively close vicinity to the main attractions like Haja Sofia, easy access to the public transport and a reasonable price. Upon check-in, initially booked "economy room" was generously upgraded to the "superior" one. Same was offered to our son who booked separately. At all times of stay the hotel personnel continuously demonstrated hospitality and proficiency. This is especially true about both receptionist named Irfan and Jusuf and also a lady who served breakfast. Room kept neat and towels were changed daily. So our best expectations came true: we had really good time in Istanbul!
- Puneet (10/5): great stay in Tophane - Everything about the hotel was excellent. From the size and quality of the room, the quality of breakfast, speed of wifi, the courteous and friendly service, I simply could not find anything that was lacking. I recommend the hotel without any hesitation, and would stay here again on returning to Istanbul.
- shelly d. (10/5): Brilliant hotel in a great location - We went to Istanbul for five days and stayed at the WAW Hotel. Upon check in our room was upgraded which was massively appreciated. The room was exceptionally spacious with a little kitchen sink, kettle, fridge and microwave. The bathroom had a nice walk in shower and the water pressure, which I find when holidaying can be poor, was very good. The hotel manager was super helpful as were all the staff. Breakfast was included in our stay which included hot foods as well as pastries and cereals. The location of the hotel was brilliant. 2 minute walk to the tram which takes you in to Sultanahmet for all the sights and grand bazaar only taking 10 minutes on the tram. From the hotel you can walk up to Takism Square and visit the shopping high street. The hotel was surrounded by restaurants serving amazing food and very reasonably priced. We would definitely stay here again.
- Kausar (8/5): Totally worth the money,had pleasant stay - First we booked the hotel for 4 days only as we were not sure but we fount us more than expectations, true value for money, well connected, 2 minutes walking distance from Tramway, 15 min walking distance from ferry terminal - Kabatas. My wife and I enjoyed our stay, staffs were very must helpful and honest.
