  Dissapointing stay in a tiny room

  29 Oct 2025

  If you are planning a visit to Istanbul, seriously, do not stay at this hotel. The photos here in trip advisor do not match the actual photos of rooms. Room for 2 people was basically a single room, a queen bed barely fit in it. Also management is terrible and not helpful to the guests if issues arise. You can find better hotels in Beyoğlu area.

  Misleading Photos – Not What I Expected

  27 Oct 2025

  I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, my experience did not match the photos and descriptions shown on TripAdvisor. The pictures online are very misleading — the actual rooms look completely different and much older.While the location is excellent and the staff are genuinely kind and helpful, the condition of the hotel is disappointing. The rooms are much smaller than they appear online, the design is outdated, and overall maintenance seems to be lacking. Furniture and fixtures show clear signs of wear, giving the impression that the property hasn’t been properly renovated in quite some time.It’s unfortunate, because with such a good location and pleasant staff, this place could be so much better. However, as it stands, the hotel does not reflect what is advertised — and I would caution future guests to manage their expectations before booking.

  Great Welcoming Hotel

  16 Sept 2016

  Your welcomed with a happy smiling Staff, Cansen Ilgen was such a great person at the front desk, helped me with anything that I needed, where to go, how to get there. Thank you so much. Its a small Boutique hotel, rooms are clean, big enough. Breakfast is cooked by two ladies, and you can take to the roof top. Great view of the city. Great location to Restaurants, cafes, and transit system. Would stay here again.
