8.4/10

The hotel offers pleasant, very clean, and quite spacious rooms, which are warm - a rarity in winter in Turkey. However, the experience is slightly dampened by a subpar breakfast and noise in the rooms. The rooms are bright and tastefully minimalistic decorated.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and had air conditioning, a large bathroom, and a comfortable bed, but they were quite small and in need of renovation with scratches everywhere. Despite the complete amenities, the noise levels were extremely high, which affected my overall comfort.

Location

The hotel's location was perfect for tourism, situated in the center near all the main attractions of Istanbul and close to transportation hubs. However, being on the tram line made it noisy.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was good overall, offering a nice selection of food to suit different palates. However, if staying for an extended period, breakfast could become repetitive.

Facilities

The facilities were adequate, providing all necessary services. However, the hotel could benefit from improved soundproofing to reduce the noise levels.

8.0/10

The hotel's location is fantastic, near major attractions and shops with affordable souvenirs. The rooms, though small with minimal storage, were helpful in arranging outside laundry and airport transportation. The service was brilliant, providing assistance with taxi bookings and local information, while being friendly and accommodating. The dining options, despite being in a dark cellar, offer delicious choices for vegetarians and some for vegans. Overall, a great value for money stay with friendly and helpful staff.

Location

The hotel is situated on 'tram street,' close to Gulhane train station and within walking distance to major attractions and shopping areas. However, the hotel could improve by having clearer signage to make it easier to locate.

The dining experience, although in a dark cellar, offers delicious options for vegetarians and some for vegans. More variety would have been appreciated.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel offers a range of facilities and services, including room service, dry cleaning, and airport shuttle. However, it could enhance the dining ambiance by utilizing the beautiful rooftop view for meals.

6.8/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were small and lacked the wow factor, the French balcony was a nice touch. Unfortunately, there was mold present, and it didn't match the room we expected. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, especially from Mr Turgay, who was always friendly and ready to help. The central location was perfect for exploring the city but being near a busy street and mosque with loud calls to prayer had its drawbacks. The dining experience, though with a good variety of dishes, was marred by being located in a dark cellar instead of enjoying the beautiful rooftop view. Overall, an okay value for the money spent.
