I have so much grateful staying in this hotel, “mehdi” save me from the bad experience I had in the “other” hotel. 🤩🤩 I wish I could have stayed more but my flight to Dubai is confirmed… it’s my last day in istanbul, it was amazing with the right attitude and they value customer especially kudos to “mehdi” he will make your journey in Instanbul an experience and give ideas about your vacation, the room is clean and cozy, everything! Anyways, when I am planning to return Türkiye I will definitely go back to this hotel. It’s located in Taksim area where you can find everything near. One night stay but a memorable one! Happy customer! Ciao.

I stayed at this Hotel with my family from 28th April for six days. First of all, this is an apartment hotel so don't expect a big lobby or a special view, but the appearance of the hotel is acceptable.| It is at the beginning of the street and your accessibility to the Taksim square is simple and easy. This hotel is about 10 minutes away from the VAC. My room had a street view, and everything in my room was clean and good. There was an electric kettle, tea, and enough coffee in the room, charged every day. The best part of the hotel was their staff. They were helpful and very kind, especially Mr. Mahdi and Mr. Orhan. Mahdi gave us information about Malls, historical places, and the ways that we can go there. He was so polite and provided anything that we need. Mr. Orhan gave us his Istanbul card for public transportation which was very useful. Overall, this is an economy hotel that has good facilities compared to the price. I recommend this hotel to other guests.
