Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a great central location in the heart of Istanbul but lacked entertainment options in the rooms. The single beds were somewhat cramped, but the double bed was more comfortable. I enjoyed the convenience of being right in the city center, although the dining options were limited to whole wheat bread rolls. On the plus side, the service was efficient, and the facilities were sufficient for a short stay.
