The staff were very helpful and polite. The breakfast was excellent with many choices and good quality food. The location of the hotel is great (Sirkeci is a very busy neighbourhood though) as the hotel is in walking distance to many touristic attractions. The swimming pool is very small but we were happy with the steam room, Turkish bath, and sauna. Overall, I recommend the hotel if you want to stay in the European side of Istanbul.

We enjoyed the room for the most part Fridge was very small and it was full of only items you could buy no space for anything else . Staff for the most part was good, there’s was a slight conflict with breakfast (which the tradition Turkish breakfast everything is cold or room temp) and charges on my account but we came to a common conclusion. There is no ice machine you have to ask which is fine. It was clean, spacious, Overall i would give it a solid 4 , The area is surrounded by so many restaurants that u can always eat good and outside !
