The hotel had a cozy vibe and the rooms were comfortable, but I didn’t appreciate that mine didn’t have a window, making it hard to tell day from night. The service felt a bit off, with staff seemingly exhausted yet trying to help as best they could. While the location was a bit off the main tourist paths, it was still easy to find public transport. The dining was satisfactory but not exceptional, with limited options. Overall, it was a decent stay with some aspects needing improvement.

I found the hotel to be located in a decent area, making it easy to get around Istanbul via public transport. The rooms were not as clean as I had hoped, and it seemed like my room was an afterthought created from what should have been storage space. However, the staff were eager to help and made my stay somewhat pleasant despite some management issues. Overall, it was a mixed bag for me.

For the price, I think there are better options out there.
