A good clean place to put your head down for the night. AC works well. Small rooms but typical of all hotels in the area. Food and shopping around the area is expensive but again that’s due to closeness to the sights. Tram stop 2 mins walk away - easy access to Galata side also. Metro also 4 mins away to transfer to Anatolian side.

Great location near Sirkeci Station. First class/friendly/ mostly helpful staff But when I mentioned that someone was smoking cigarettes on the 3rd or 4th floor the response was a shoulder shrug. Like"that is Istanbul'. Not a beneficial response

Het hotel is in Sirkeci, wat een uitstekende uitvalsbasis is als je heel Istanbul wil verkennen. Allerlei winkels en ov zijn op loopafstand. Het hotel zelf is recent verbouwd en ziet er van binnen prachtig uit. De kamers zijn, relatief gezien, ruim! Badkamers zijn prachtig. Personeel is zeer attent en liefdevol. Al met al was het een uitstekend verblijf. De omgeving is druk, dus je hoort in je kamer echt wel het geluid van buiten. Wij hadden er geen last van maar als je hier gevoelig voor bent dan is het misschien een betere keus om een ander gebied te kiezen. Dit heeft dus niet met het hotel te maken, maar met de omgeving. Ik raad dit hotel van harte aan!
