My queen room was equipped with a private safe, a mini bar, and central heating. I loved nice views and wake-up service available. Its location was perfect close to almost all main attractions. There was Falafel House nearby to grab something to eat.

My stay was pleasant at the seminal the final night. The restaurant was good for breakfast here, I had savoury dishes. It boasted nice views. The location was perfect, relatively close to a cobblestone street. You could walk to a market and chemist's.
The hotel staff was very aggressive.

Had fine 4 nights here. I stayed in the room that was kept clean and available with a good bathroom, three beds and tea. The location was magnificent, close to where is the center of modern Istanbul with the famous Istiklal street, and Istanbul for a research and conference and easily accessible. Had brunch in the Dubliner Irish Pub Restaurant, located nearby.

The breakfast was savoury and adequate with healthy food, Turkey plus fresh fruit, and the restaurant's offer was savoury. Location: the hotel was close enough to the restaurant.
