Perfect hotel for a conference in Istanbul

Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from both conference venue and Taksim Square. Room had WiFi, AirCon, good bathroom, very clean. No breakfast but breakfast at nearby Ada Cafe highly recommended. The only drawback was next door nightclub, very loud music to 3 am. But I had no difficulty sleeping.

لا يناسب العائلات

الفندق سئ مش عارف كيف يقال عليه 3 نجوم ولا يساوي نجمة واحدة.رائحة الدخان تملأ المكان.وصوت المقاهي والنوادي الليلية مرتفعة ليلا.لا يوجد تنظيف للغرف خلال فترة إقامة 3 ليالي.والتليفزيون لا يعمل وابلغتهم مرتين ولا مبالاه.هو المكان يعتبر مميز لقربه من تقسيم والاستقلال . لكن لا انصح به خاصة للعائلات

Good Service

It is a good hotel, with good rooms, good breakfast, and good location. The only problem is the loud music, that goes on until 5am. If you want to go out partying this is the place to be, but if your looking for a quiet nights sleep look elsewhere.

Great on a budget

Rooms are newly remodeled. I would recommend this place for someone that can't afford an amazing hotel but wants to have a nice place to sleep and have easy access to Istiklal Caddesi.

Hotel n'est pas digne de son nom

Décevant par rapport au prix de la nuitée les photos publicitaires n'ont rien à voir avec la réalité , le restaurant est fermé . Pas d'accès pou les handicapées La chambre 101 a des fenêtres qui donnent directement sur un restaurant voisin impossible de les ouvrire le rideau doit rester fermé. A ne pas conseillé.

Tek Adres

Sık sık İstanbul'a seyahat eden ve özellikle lokasyon olarak Taksim,İstiklal, Beyoğlu,Galata hattını genel olarak tercih eden birisi olarak; rezervasyonlarımı gönül rahatlığıyla yaptığım, her defasında memnuniyetle ayrıldığım, hatta o güzergahta rezervasyon yaptığım tek adres olan bir otel.. Güler yüzlü personeli ile buluştuğum her yeni konaklamamda birbirimizi ismen de tanır hale gelmiş olmak memnuniyet verici...
