  : Very central location and exceptional value. Great place for a layover in Istanbul.
  : The floors seemed to need minor repairs and breakfast quality could be better. But for that price I have no complaints :)

  : The room was comfortable and clean
  : The hotel arranged our transfer from and to the airport. The day we arrived 01.05 there was extreme traffic due to strikes. We waited 1 hour at the airport for the taxi to come and get us. After that it took us 2:30 hours to reach a road near the hotel so that we can walk there. Normally this distance is 1 hour. We didn't have any information about this situation from the hotel. One day before leaving we asked the reception how much time do we need to get to Shabika Airport in order to arrange our transfer. They told us 1:15 - 1:30. The day we left 03.05 we asked again and the answer was the same. When the time came to go to the airport we realized that there was a football game and all the roads in the city center were closed. Again the reception didn't know anything. We had to pay double (100) in order to take another road and make it to our flight. So all in all:Don't arrange your transfer through the hotel The reception was despicable and couldn't provide basic information The location was bad - very crowded and dirty The breakfast was badThe stuff didn't know basic information (e.g. how to reach the airport by metro/train)

  : I really appreciate friendly staff at the reception. In the first room I was given there was a loud noise from outsides disco. As I asked for a better room which would not be so noisy, I was given a room 801 at the very top, free upgrade. The room was very good for the price and everything necessary was there. Wifi was working well, air conditioning as well. There were free toileteries in the bathroom. There was a fridge in the room, too. The hotel is located in a messy street but everything works well inside. The big advantage of the hotel is that it is close to Taksim Square and the underground.
  : Breakfast is the only downside here. The variety of food is limited, no ham, only one or two types of cheese. Juice was not very tasty.

  : It was my second stay at this hotel. The place is perfect, I like the room, can't say anything about other rooms but mine was very quiet. I think it's a perfect place in terms of money/comfort if you came for a short visit or it's your first visit to Istanbul and you would like to explore the city (close to metro, bus etc)
  : When I checked in, told to the stuff that the room is out of the toilet paper, they said that the problem will be fixed but in reality had to do it by myself. Not a big problem though but still not comfortable :)
