My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite small but clean and comfortable, suitable for two adults visiting Istanbul, while the corridors and lobbies had an unpleasant lingering smell. However, the rooms were always warm despite the cold weather, which was a plus.

The hotel is conveniently located near public transportation, with small but sufficient rooms for sightseeing breaks. The rooms were tidy but had a strong cigarette smell despite requesting a non-smoking room. The service was a mix of friendly and unhelpful encounters. The location is very good for accessing Istanbul's main sights but can be noisy due to the crowded area. The dining experience offers a variety of options with available fruits and vegetables. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
