    fantastic stay
    great location
    non-functioning air conditioning

    The breakfast was excellent with lots of tasty local options, and the location made exploring the city super easy. It exceeded my expectations, especially after my previous stays in the area.

    the air conditioning was not functioning.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the ideal location not far from T1 tram line, Galataport, the ferry station, and Karakoey lively restaurants. The room was stylish and cheap, included a safe, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a mini bar fridge.

    All was good.

    The hotel is ideally located near the promenade and very close to the tram station. The facilities are fantastic, especially the traditional Turkish-style hammam which I highly recommend. The staff are kind and attentive.

    The room size was smaller than expected, made movement a bit challenging.

    comfy bed
    cute decor
    clean room
    poor noise insulation
    small size

    I stayed in a Budget Double Room for 2 nights as a solo traveler. The room was clean and had some cute decor, made the vibe nice. The bed was super comfy, great for resting after exploring. The noise insulation could've been better, as I heard some street sounds. But overall, it was a cozy spot to unwind. Breakfast was a highlight, especially enjoyed the views from the rooftop.

    definitely want to stay in that area again

    The suite was equipped with a coffee machine, great air conditioning, and even had a balcony for a chill vibe. The breakfast was really good with fresh fruits and tasty local dishes. Plus, the super nice team and always around when needed. My family loved it!

    scenic rooftop bar
    delicious breakfast
    rushed check-in

    very pleasant stay with minor issues

    The rooftop bar offered fine sea views while we sipped on expertly crafted cocktails. The breakfast spread was excellent, with local delicacies that kept us excited each morning. Our room was not just clean but tastefully decorated, which enhanced our comfort throughout our stay.

    The check-in process felt a bit rushed, which could benefit from a more cute approach.
