Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness need attention — Guest ratings for rooms and cleanliness are well below average, so expect some inconsistency in upkeep.
- Lively nightlife nearby — The Taksim area is busy and noisy at night, which may not suit light sleepers or those wanting a quiet stay.
- No parking on site — The hotel doesn't list parking among its amenities, which could be a hassle if you're driving.
- Paid airport shuttle — Airport transfers are not included – you'll need to pay separately for the shuttle service.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere.

8.2Verified guest“We enjoyed the breakfast with a fine view and relaxed at the spa after exploring Istiklal Street and Galata Tower. Just a heads up – the area gets lively at night, so be cautious if you're out late. A solid pick for a group trip.”

8.2Verified guest“Fantastic, fairly clean small hotel. Particularly good spot not far from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, easy walking distance from the bus and metro systems. Excellent food in the rooftop restaurant. Early check-in, late check-out. The airport shuttle and great pool were a plus. The hotel of choice in Istanbul.”
