In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptional staff — Multiple guests highlight the friendly, helpful, and proactive team, from solving tech issues to making omelets and offering fresh tea and coffee.
  • Prime location near Taksim — Just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and nightlife. Many guests call it central and convenient.
  • Strong value for money — With rooms from £45 per night, guests repeatedly mention the excellent rate for the quality and location, especially for families booking multiple rooms.
  • Clean and comfortable rooms — Rooms are described as clean, tidy, and equipped with comfortable beds, effective heating, and amenities like flat-screen TVs.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort and facilities score low — The comfort category scores just 5.0 and facilities 6.8, suggesting rooms may feel basic or lack some modern touches despite being clean.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets or service animals, which is great for allergy sufferers but limits options for travelers with animals.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:59, which may be restrictive for late-night arrivals without prior arrangement.
  • Street noise potential — Given the central location near Taksim and a lively pub downstairs, some rooms facing the street may experience noise, though no specific complaints appear.

“Excellent value for money – we couldn't find a better rate for two triple rooms. The room was very comfortable and clean, and the location near Taksim was superb. The staff treated us like VIPs, giving local tips and always being friendly and helpful.”

“It was so central, and the staff were great – a special hello to Gulsum, who was fantastic. She went out of her way to help me with a problem I had at a phone shop, which had nothing to do with the hotel!”
