Pleasant stay with minor issues
I would like to thank the hotel staff for organizing the airport transfer — everything went smoothly and on time, which made our arrival in Istanbul much easier.
However, there was an issue at check-in: we were initially given a room of a lower category than the one we had booked. Fortunately, the staff quickly resolved the situation and moved us to the correct room without any hassle.
The room was clean, which we really appreciated, but the furnishings were quite dated and the space could definitely benefit from some renovation.
Overall, the service was friendly and helpful, and with some updates to the rooms, this hotel has great potential.
A perfectly nice little Hotel. Walkable to the Old city, over the Galata Bridge and a lovely evening walk to the night life bustle of Galata and Under Karakoy.
Unfortunately would not recommend this hotel. Located on a noisy street, rooms are not clean, and staff is not helpful. Booked a premium room with a double bed, and got stuck to a room with 3 twin beds. Also, electricity went out in the whole hotel for over 12 hours. We had to leave the hotel due to no electricity, and was asked why we were checking out early which seemed like a very obvious answer of why. Definitely do not recommend booking this hotel.
Nice hotel near the Galata bridge and tower. Safe and quiet area with lots of restaurants and cafes around. Rooms are extra tight/it felt like all bed. Was a fine accommodation for a few nights but the size was a turn off.
They do not have netfix, rather they ask you to cast your phone to screen.
When we arrived all was good but the next day around morning, the bathroom smelt beyond horrible.
Balcony is good but if it rains, balcony becomes unusable next day because there are nothing to shield them.
Rooms are too small. Elevator stopped working for 2 days and we had to walk all the way up to 3rd floor.
Bathroom is very small.Even the shower section is so small it is hard to fit in.
The good:
Location is very good
It's clean and fairly new
Very simple accommodations
The okay:
The standard rooms are very tiny, so you won't have a lot of room for you and your stuff. There is no closet, so you have to hang your clothes on the wall next to the bed, so pack light and try to bring small bags, because there is very little space in the actual room.
The not-so good:
Don't expect high-end service, it's a very basic hotel for a decent price. It's clean and well-kept, but don't expect any additional services other than a clean, well-located room.
If you have the money, stay at the Bank Hotel a few minutes away, you'll get nicer accommodations and excellent service. If you have a lower budget and just want a simple, decent, clean place to sleep, then stay here or the Triada nearby.
Unfortunately, my stay was disappointing due to cleanliness and maintenance issues. Upon entering the room, I noticed hair in the shower, dirty marks on the floor, and a used item left behind — all clear signs that the room had not been properly cleaned before my arrival.
There were also visible signs of poor maintenance, such as loose fixtures and dusty areas. Although the front desk staff was not particularly polite or welcoming, the hotel manager did respond to our concerns and offered us a room change. Sadly, the second room was also not clean and even had cigarette butts left behind.
The hotel clearly needs renovation and, in its current condition, does not justify its high prices. I have stayed in many hotels across Istanbul, and unfortunately, this was by far the most disappointing experience. I would not recommend this property to others.
404 numaralı odada konaklıyorduk oda çok bakımsızdı sonrasında hamile olan eşim havlu almak için rafa uzandığında sabitlemedikleri için önce dizine sonrasında klozet kapağına düştü özür dilemeleri gerekirken 3700 TL para istediler. Sonrasında 104 nolu odaya geçtik orda da dolap rafina bağlı olan mobilya parçası kopup başımıza düşüyordu can güvenliğimiz olmadığı için erken ayrıldık tavsiye etmiyorum.
