So, it was a surprise to find such exceptional hotel in the heart of Istanbul. Clean, cozy and new. Very enthusiastic staff with high level of professionalism. The hotel is located in a building of a bank and it gives a feeling of safety. The hotel’s Manager Tatyana is deeply involved in guest’s needs. Really enjoyed my staying.

The hotel was really nice and close to everything. It was new and modern. Value for money! We take an update to our room to a bigger one so we had a very comfort staying. The room was CLEAN and we could choose which days this could be cleaned also with a button next to the door. The BREAKFAST was great offering a wide variety of choices. The STAFF was there when we need them and they were extremely kind and helpful. Many thanks to you guys Baran and Fouad for your amazing breakfast and the hotel gift you gave us to take away the last day we left from there because our flight was very early in the morning. We really enjoyed! The tram station was 3min from there by foot, Ayia Sofia closed almost 10min by foot also and kapali carsi. Highly recommend this hotel for everyone looking for a great place to stay!

Just great things to say about everything: venue, location, staff and breakfast. The hotel was recently opened when I travelled to Istambul. My room was very spacious as well as the bathroom, with tasteful decoration. The rooms in the upper floor have a small terrace. The hotel’s location is great, in the university neighborhood . One minute from Vezneciler metro station and around 5 minutes from Laleli tram station that takes you tho the Grand Bazar, the monumental área and Eminonu, the ferry station. Walking to the monumental área is juts about 20 minutes! The staff is very professional and extremely kind at the reception, bell boys, breakfast waiters, cleanning ladies…our’s was Endam, a sweatheart. Breakfast is outstanding. You can find a great variety of western and turkish food. The hotel also has a spa with a real swimming-pool…around 20 meters long…don’t forget your goggles!!

    We chose this apartment because of its amazing price. Despite being quite affordable, the location was very convenient for us, with the downtown area easily accessible by foot or by bus. The apartment met our expectations - simple but sufficient for our needs. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option close to the city, this is a solid pick.

    Location is perfect, a 10-15 min walk to Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, a 30 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Lots of great and affordable restaurants around, lots of markets for food and drinks or souvenirs (they are a lot cheaper here than at the bazaar btw). Easy to get a taxi if you need it. Good Turkish breakfast was included.
