    Average but good for a night or two.

    rating01 Jan 2026

    This place was well organized, good friendly staff it was by Taksim square and istikal street.The hotel had 8 levels and a basement, guess what we were in the basement! No windows but so much street noise! The room was quite fancy and clean except for the beds, i hate to be fussy but there was a small brown mark on the sheet.The room was quite average for the price a small minibar, a safe, hangers... It was good just for sleeping there.The breakfast wasn't bad, again average. Yet there were quite little tables, and the room was quite loud filled with other guests.Rapping it up, it was okay not bad rooms not bad breakfast not bad location, but i forgot to mention how bad the Wi-Fi was IT WAS NON EXISTANT!!!!!
