Not clean and smells very bad
Small rooms, not clean, it smells bad and not well isolated. This place needs to be renovated and cleaned. The only positive point is the location but other than that I don’t recommend it.

In general the hotel is excellent. The stuff are very helpful and professional. The rooms are clean, The location is in the heart of Istanbul. Everything is very close, the metro is a two minutes a way from the hotel however the breakfast is not that much and could be better.

Don't stay here
Economy rooms are horrible. Claustrophobic, very very little space and window opens up to a wall with barely any sunlight getting in. AC didn't really work, was complicated to figure out controls. So tiny room was muggy as well. The shower doesn't drain nor retain properly so every time we showered it flooded the rest of the bathroom (there was no second drain) and we had to clean it up with towels. They say fridge is working but it's not, the food we put in there went bad. Its very warm to the touch. There was melted water in there. When I first complained to a staff member he said they are not using fridges due to COVID which didn't make sense. When I spoke to the manager later he said no fridges are working "you just can't make ice in them". So staff is dishonest. Someone says they're not using fridges but then manager contradicts. Cleanliness is not very good, our coffee tray had some sticky substance on it. Fridge was also dirty. We only ever saw one cleaning lady managing the whole hotel during our 3 night stay. After second day we were fed up and complained but they blamed us for not complaining earlier and said all they could do was transfer us to another economy room for our last night. I saw the room and it was exactly the same as the one we were in, fridge didn't work either. The breakfast was good. That was the only good thing about the hotel. Otherwise, horrible room, unhelpful management.

Spa under renovation - no notice
The hotel was nice, but the reason I choose this hotel was the spa. When we arrived at the hotel, the staff told me the spa was closed due to renovations. I didn't receive any notice about this! Also, the shower was good, but some of the title wasn't finished in the bathroom. The hotel was clean, but I expected more, a hotel that was in better condition.

Ezcellent location, but thats where it ends
This hotel is like a comedy hotel, faulty towers, always something wrong in a room, u can ask for another room which they will give you but it will never be right. Staff are nice and location is perfect, thats about it. Spa is a joke, no room privacy, house keepers would storm in anytime, if your not ready for them then your room wouldnt be clean for that day. No soundproofing, u can hear everything, u can only laugh otherwise you cry.

anywhere but ....
The behavior of the night receptionist was unacceptable... Refused to correct the key card when asked for... (It was not possible to operate the door of the room with the key card after a while) He lied in to my face saying the correction is not possible and I might want to use only one card with my room mate together. He was rude and his English was poor as well. Next morning I asked the morning receptionist, who was able to correct the faulted key card in a few seconds.

Close to Sightseeing
It is NOT a 5 stars hotel but staffs provide excellent services. Receptionist willing to do they best to improve whatever guests required i.e. exchange for room. Also, I have lost my hotel keycard when I was drunk, and the receptionist (lady) provide me a new 1 without extra charge. She even helped me to translated my love letter in Turkish lauguage. Swim pool is a bit small but not crowded with guests. Breakfast is pretty much the same everyday, but I satisfied with all the basic nutrition I need. The only downside is the WIFI connection, pretty slow, perhaps it is not a issue for those who don't stay online 24/7.

I had bad experience with my tour activity. The shuttle came 45 minutes early and driver wanted me to go with him write at that moment, he did not even waite 2 minutes for me to pickup my jacket and left without me. He was very rude. I have requested refund of my tour activity. The speedy car service from airport was good.

The hotel is very nicely situated, very close to grand bazar and the rest of the places for sight seeing. Great breakfast on the top floor from where you can see part of the city and sea. The cleanliness is not on its best. I would suggest it for short stay due to the good price and great location.

Mix of Positives & Negatives
Its difficult to get value for money hotel in Istanbul! Very noisy, no sound proof rooms, almost every noise you can hear from the lobby. Housekeeping is poor, didnt cleaned room properly, have to tell them to put coffee in my room. Mine was ofcourse economy room but when you open window there is just another building/wall in just one feet from your window. So, standard room is ideal, but may cost little more. Internet slow. Room very compact. Breakfast average to good but same everyday. Can stay max 2-3 nights. Area is very crazy with traffic, so plan early for airport. There are some positives like location with some good shopping/restaurants nearby, small Gym and Spa in the hotel. Aksaray Metro station 1km/10-15min walk by which you can visit a Mall Forum Istanbul!

Comfortable, Welcoming And Well Located
A fairly new hotel, fitted out to a high standard. It offers larger than average rooms that are comfortable and fully equipped and have impressive showers (but no baths) and good (free) wi-fi. The rooftop restaurant offers a good breakfast - with impressive views over the Sea of Marmara. Close to the Beyazit tram stop and an entrance to the Grand Bazaar, this is a very convenient location, but this means there is some noise from traffic (and the Mosque) at the front of the hotel. My first choice for my next visit to Istanbul.
