The location was great for traveling around Istanbul, just off many restaurants and the tram station and the tramway station and the metro station. Old City Sultanahmet district was worth visiting.

This hotel was convenient base for exploring Istanbul, really enjoyed it. The location was good - just off the tramway station, center, and public transport. A cool bonus was Durak Bufe Cafe, located nearby, it offered tea and coffee.

The overall features were excellent. The location was marvellous and particularly good, right next to an indoor mall. Plus it was within 20 minutes walking from the downtown. We had a great time.

Had good sleep at the guest room. Having a shower and a hairdryer was a bonus. The hotel had a perfect location close to Laleli. Moreover, it's near the metro and tram and many restaurants.

Absolutely great place with excellent staff, everything was excellent! The location of the hotel was marvellous and magnificent - at a short distance from a Grand bazaar. Btw, it was just 20 min walk to downtown.

The staff were respectful, unbeatable location near all the attractions that I wanted to see. And it was also adjacent to the tramway station and the metro station, and Istanbul.

Stayed here for 8 nights and appreciated my choice. The venue was in a very central location so close to all the attractions. Found a place called Alimento Balik Restaurant, set right next to the hotel, ate there a few times.

The hotel is nice and in an excellent location very close to all public transport stations. Very very helpful, amiable people working here. Good food for dinner and breakfast. Location short walk to the tramway and metro station, and center. A lot of food options not too far away from the venue.
Very small bathroom.
