Собираемся еще приехать.

- Heber (1/5): Die Ziele meine Reise habe ich erfüllt: das Unterrichten vo Mediziner Schüller. - Die Bereitschaft eine Lösung zu finden, da sie nicht ein sauberes und geeignetes Zimmer hatten! Das reservierte Zimmer war schmutziger, das Bett hatte nicht saubere und geeignete Bettwäsche. Der Besitzer, oder einer der Beamten, hat mich sofort zu anderen (für mich unbekannte) Hotel gebracht. Das Zimmer dort war etwas besser. Am folgenden Tag versuchte ich wieder zum reservierten Hotel kommen, aber dort hat sich nicht geändert, und bin ich wieder zur anderen Hotel gefahren. Ich fühlte mich so unsicher, das ich mich entschieden habe sofort zurück nach Wien zu fliegen und nie wieder zur solchen Hotels zu kommen! Traurige Situation, da ich Istanbul und seine Leute sehr gern habe!

- Yonas Fekade (9/5): -
- Merhabe (9/5): The staff was kind and helpful.The service was excellent - Friendly staff and helpful. The location was perfect and close to everything such as shop, restaurant, public transport,...
The breakfast was excellent. Thank you very much for the service. See next time. Not applicable
- Timur (9/5): Дружелюбный персонал, мягкая кровать - Вкусный завтрак WiFi, работает хорошо, но иногда есть небольшие сбои
- Andrii (10/5): -
- Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Moez (9/5): good - Lovely place and short distance of shops stairs
- صديق (7/5): Good - everything was good, nice people clean hotel good clean breakfast central location The only thing was the size of the room and bathroom they were a bit small for 2 people especially if you stay a couple says . And that is not in their hand especially in a city like Istanbul as there is a high demand on the space.
- Elżbieta (9/5): Superb -
- Luís (7/5): Budget, no luxuries - Very nice staff! Reasonable English speaking, always available. I really liked the location, close to the main attractions of the golden horn, to tram and metro stops and to the Marmarail (connecting to the Sahiba airport). Although an individual traveller I rented the triple room to be sure of some extra space. The AC was working and it really made a difference.However, the room needs some repairs. A warning: the steeps are high, especially if you have heavyweight gear but the staff will help you if you need it. I didn't like that the receptionist tried to give me a small individual room although I had reserved and paid for a triple (I value extra space). After a lengthy discussion they agreed on the triple, a top floor room, very hot and with a steeply access and needing some repairs. I didn't try the breakfast because the room was so hot and humid that it became unbearable: you would need a cold shower afterwards to begin your day again.
- Zoltánné (7/5): Good - The location was fine, tram within 5 minutes It was very hot in the room. Air-conditioning wasn't working properly. Very old system.
- Antonio (7/5): Good -
- Ahmad (8/5): Very good -
- Ahmad (8/5): Stay with family - Friendly staff. Good breakfast.
Good location.. Nearby several metro/tramway stations.. It's just a recommendation: adjusting the central heating system.. This hotel will have a very good potential with additional investment.
- Ayersah (8/5): The hotel is very good, the staff were very helpful and done their duties with joy - Staff were nice Noise from the rooms around
- Abdi (7/5): Good -

- Thandekile (8/5): Enjoyed - The location is perfect. Close to EVERYTHING, all amneties , banks, train, restaurants and clothing shops for business.The staff is very peaceful,friendly , helpful, they go the extra mile.The hotel is a peaceful environment. The breakfast is not the usual English breakfast to expect, it is not something i looked forward to. The TV would not switch on no matter the many ways i tried.You only get free water in your room for the first night. The kettle code was so short that boiling tea water required me to support it with so many things so that it would reach the plug.

the hotel for the budget travelers The stuffs are not friendly need to be trained

- Freeman (5/5): Overall my stay was fair not bad - Overall, I love the location and the staff. Room is very small but I was there by myself so it was ok for me. However, the tv doesn’t have English channels and is not a smart tv for Netflix or YouTube so it was kind of boring when I was spending time one the hotel Tv need to be smart tv for international traveler. Like YouTube and Netflix. Or English speaking channels
- Petr (8/5): Very good -
- Timur (5/5): Passable - personel was eager to earn couple bucks on each step. disgusting!
in the evening the price for taxi was announced 500tly, in the morning - 50$. when I asked, why the price chnged overnight, the answer was “if you don’t like the price, go search taxi at the streat”. awfull.
- Kelvin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aleksander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohamed (2/5): Very poor - The location is great. It is in the middle of the city. The room was the smallest room that I have ever seen. It's like an aisle that pairly fits the bed only. It didn't have even space to put my suitcase. I was staying just couple of hours. When I was checking out, I asked the front staff that I need a taxi to the airport. The guy said that they will call a taxi for me. He asked me to pay him upfront instead of to the taxi driver which is unusual and tried to charge me double of the usual price. He was negotiating with me as he is the driver. I said no thanks and went out and got a regular taxi half of the price he was trying to charge me.
The water in the bathroom was not running properly and stopped. I had to wait for little bit and started running again.
- Jazmine (5/5): Passable -
