Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Small scale, limited facilities — With only 8 rooms, the hotel lacks the range of amenities found in larger properties — there's no mention of a gym, pool, or spa.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 22:00, which might be inconvenient if you arrive late at night.
  • Check-out is early — Rooms must be vacated by 10:00, with check-out ending at 10:00, which could feel rushed for some guests.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
  • Some minor housekeeping lapses — One guest reported that cleaning staff accidentally left the door and window open on a cold day.

“The hotel is conveniently located near the train/bus terminal and a popular shopping street. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, with the option to request a room change if needed. The cleaning staff is attentive, although they accidentally left the door and window open on a cold day. The breakfast service is excellent, with a friendly staff member serving delicious meals. There is also a variety of entertainment options for young adults nearby.”

“The hotel is very close to Taksim Square and far enough (about 5 minutes on foot) not to be in the middle of the noisy center. The personnel is very friendly and helpful. The room (for three) was clean, comfortable, and cosy. Really large for three persons. The breakfast in summer is served on the roof, and that's nice. We had a nice stay in general.”
