Good Location, Good Price, Clean and Cute Hotel..
Pros: Friendly staff, very clean rooms, very cute colour combination in the rooms, superb breakfast area with Bosphorus bridge view. Cons: Washroom Door Knob was broken in my room, the lane leading to the hotel is closed in the daytime so if you are checking in or checking out during that time you will have to carry your bags all the way to the main road where your taxi is waiting (just a 2 min walk but if you have a lot of luggage on you then it becomes tiring)

It's good because location in Serkeci but not excellent due to the distance 500 meter from center and road to hotel is not easy especially for old people and the breakfast is poor . Other things are very good friendly staff , clean and big rooms .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very friendly staff. Room was located in the basement and therefore had no window to outside. Basic furniture. Room was clean and had lot of space, but had not realy charme. A better light for reading in bed would have been nice. 5 minutes walking to tram station, 10 minutes walking to Hagia Sophia. Breakfast was OK. Highly recommendable to budget travellers. Best possible price-performance - unschlagbares Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis :-). I would book it again.

Great location to everything. 10 Minute walking distance from city center, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and other museums . Walking distance to the Metro. Staff is wonderful. They help with other accommodations such as day trips and how to get to special attractions. Rooms were clean and well kept. Breakfast was very nice with a view of Istanbul's bay that will take your breath away.

Value for money, good location, great staff
WE have been to IStanbul many times and love Sirkeci area where this hotel is located at. Close to Marmaray Station, and even Sirkeci tram station. Easy to get to anywhere by public transport. The area is within where the locals shop and live, so it is quite authentic. So, great local eateries at affordable price, easy shopping at Misir Carsisi and the market outside it, close to Balik Ekmek experience (very expensive now). At the same time it is very close to Sultanahmet area, and Taksim is not that far away too. The hotel is quite new for Istanbul standard - it has elevators!!. The decor is modern, the place is airy, the staff is really good, attentive and willing to help. However, some of the area needs TLC - e.g. water pipe in my bathroom needs changing. Free breakfast is welcome. It used to be free in most of the hotel in Istanbul, but nowadays are quite scarce. Hence, we were very happy to have this feature in this hotel. The selection is not wide, or not as wide as how we were used to. However, take into account that Turkiye now is having high inflation, so I appreciate this gesture. Perhaps, this hotel can improve by providing some fresh fruits which are abundant in Turkiye. Reasonable late check out can be entertain if the hotel is not busy. You can leave your luggage behind after checkout. We will be happy to stay there again.

Quiet, clean, central and on a hill
this is a surprisingly well located hotel on a hill. When we arrived we thought we were in a back deserted street. The road is very quiet and regulated because of a school that is located in the street., but this makes it less noisy and because it is on a hill we had breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the roofs and the city. Breakfast was more than just the usual Turkish breakfast. The rooftop was open from 8:00 till 23:00. Our room was big with a small fridge and a kettle. Very clean and clean every day as well. There is a lift. There are a few lovely art shops nearby and a cheap place to eat just down the street. A small Migros is very near.

Nice hotel for a short stay.
This hotel was really good for the price we paid for 3 days. The staff were friendly and supportive. It is in a good location as local mosque is nearby and all the tourist places like sultan ahmet mosque, hagia sophia etc are a 10-15 mins walk or a short train journey. Plenty of food places to choose from. Only downside was that the free breakfast was not nice. There was hardly any options to choose from. Would have been nice to have a few different types of food. If that can be improved then this hotel is perfect for a short stay.

The receptionists are supportive and helpful. the breakfast is nice but very basic as there is no water or soft drink. things like cucumber, tomato, ect left open they should cover it. the room is clean and comfortable but we smell damp especially when you get into the lift, but over overall is lokay for the money we have paid. It is a nice hotel but it needs a bit of touches.

Hotel was great and centrally located from station and also from local heritage i.e. blue mosque and museum. The room size was big and very clean no complaints. The only issue is that this place located at a height so it is a bit of hard walk around places. The breakfast is very basic with very few choices and nothing exciting for kids and adults too. Overall great

Good location
It's is a simple place, but the room is comfortable with a great matters and shower and clean. Breakfast is decent enough if not a lot of choice. But if weather allows you can take it on a little roof terrace. Friendly stuff. Good location for old town and the sights, don't be put off the location as its on a quiet side street. Only one point - hotel and room, at first, smelled strange. Not sure if a bit musty or maybe overuse of a cleaner like bleach. Did not disappoint given what I had paid.
