Stuff very friendly, daily amenities, coffee; water... and the last day they granted us a basket full of fruits plus water...location great and some view from the balcony you can see the bosphorus and the bridge. The room was too big.

German 9.0

The staff were super helpful and available, they were really one of the best staff in our stay in Turkey. We stayed only one night as we were leaving next day but we could relax and keep our bags safe until our travel time.

Simon 9.0

Nice hotel for a city break, at walking distance from the metro entrance. Mattresses are pretty hard but for some people that's a plus.
