Hotel: 1/ A great experience with large cleaned bedroom. 2/ Excellent value for money 3/ Very professional and efficient eception team. 4/ Family friendly hotel 5/ Varied buffet breakfast 6/ Pharmacy, ATM, cafés restaurants at the door of the hotel. 7/ A restaurant inside the hotel and very efficient room service. 8/ Swimming pool and massage, spa facilities on site. City impressions : 1 We selected this hotel because it was slightly off-center from the ultra-touristy center that we wanted to avoid and which remains accessible by the T1 tram which serves the southern European bank of the city. 2/ Key touristic spots can be done in less than few hours ( within a 10 minutes walking distance), 3/ A must visit will be the spice bazar at Eminonu tramway station and the grand bazar that are interconnected through walking Bargain is a must in the grand bazar and start with a 40% to 50% off the price to close a deal. 4/For the northern European bank we took the 72T bus to discover Nisantasi and Sisli, the upscale neighborhoods....a 600m bus platform from the hotel.Go walking through the park and the football stadium to the T1 terminal. 5/To eat fresh fried or grilled fish at very reasonable prices, plenty of open-air cafès going up the bridge for 300m coming from Eminonu. 6/A very unique side of Istanbul is the authentic Kadikoy with lovely artsy shops and stunning facades. 7 /Watch out for tourist trap restaurants because they are plentiful : al madina restaurant or taksim square. 8/ Do not miss Hafiz Mustapha 1 864 the king of sweets. Try the Dubai zaman, a reinvented version of the oriental mouhalabiyé with a layer of pistachios and kadayif 9/ Cruising the bosphore: make the nost of them...you will truly enjoy the uniqueness of the city. 10/ Istanbul is a very large city growing rapidly and the ground transportation is excellent but overwhelming all day long.

The staff consistently go above and beyond with their extra care and support, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience every time.

The hotel’s location is ideal, with excellent bus connections to all parts of the city, making it very convenient for exploring Istanbul. A heartfelt thank you to the manager and the entire staff, especially Mahmud at the front desk, who was an absolute pleasure to deal with — professional, kind, and always helpful.
