I have mixed feelings about this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, with a great view and super clean rooms. However, the rooms are very small, with poor decoration and old lighting, and there was no water or tissue available in the room. Despite these drawbacks, the top location makes it a convenient stay.

I stayed in the hotel next door where the elevator wasn't working, and it was much cheaper than the triple room here. My room had a window facing a wall, but it was surprisingly with a good view and super clean. The service was fabulous, the staff are pleasant, and the location is awesome, being near the metro facility. The hotel was very welcoming and absolutely amazing, with friendly and helpful staff. The location is absolutely perfect, a short walk to all the museums and markets in Istanbul Old City that I wanted to go to. The dining experience could be a little more varied since you get the same thing every day. The buffet wasn't good in terms of options and taste, and should have a bit more choice for tourists.

The hotel offers a place to rest at night, despite tired rooms with peeling paint and no view, but this is not a deal-breaker. The service is outstanding, with staff accommodating room changes and providing a welcoming fruit plate. The location is safe and convenient, near public transport and major attractions. However, dining options are limited with just basic choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service and location.
