Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort scores below average — The comfort rating is notably low at 5.0, which may reflect factors like bed firmness or room temperature control, though reviews don't specify.
  • Limited room types — Only three room categories are offered – Superior, Superior Single, and Deluxe – which may not suit families or groups needing more space.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which could be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
  • Check-in window starts at 14:00 — The earliest check-in is 14:00, so early arrivals will need to wait or use luggage storage (available).

“Rooms are very spacious with large beds, a mini-bar, satellite TV, and climate control. The garden view is lovely, and the location is great right on the metro line from Ataturk Airport, with a quiet atmosphere.”

“Perfect central spot near a big shopping centre and transport links. The room was clean and silent, with views up to Fatih Mosque, a round bed, and a Turkish bath – I really appreciated it.”

“It's a good hotel, which I prefer.”

8.1Verified guest

“Great to be picked up from Ataturk airport when you arrive in a new city. The manager and staff were welcoming, helpful, and professional. Breakfast was copious with mixed choices and fresh juices, and the amenities were spotless. Rooms were spacious, super comfortable, with unique designs. The location offers an easy, fast tram ride from the old town – a good balance between busy city centre and calmer outskirts – plus bus 83 to Taksim. The hotel style is very funky, unusual, and distinctive, very fitting for a city break in Istanbul, trying to replicate the Ottoman style with great levels of comfort.”

“I had a fantastic experience in my room with a round bed, Turkish bath, and a stunning view of the mosque.”
