This property has a great breakfast. There was an excellent attendant at the reception but the other 2 were really bad. There is not much to say. Everything in Istanbul is a kind of "i dont care". They dont need to be really efficient. Doesn't matter what i write here. Nobody cares anyway.

No private mirrors or sinks anywhere at all to use, which was inconvenient. The person at the restaurant was a bit rude and unprofessional when I asked for water. The enviroment overall was not relaxing.

Unprofessional co workers

Unfortunately couldn’t complete my entire stay due to cancellation by hotel side after I spend one night in hotel , hotel guaranteed to get refund ( still waiting the money) Unfortunately the hotel staff didn’t give me the chance to speak to the manger and claimed the manger is on vacation They put all the blame on me for being in the room while the cleaning lady wanted to clean the Room Too bad i came back to hotel late at night that day to see all my belongings was packed without my permission and I couldn’t stay in hotel even though i still have 6 night left to stay This is my experience so far in this hotel Even though before this time i stayed two weeks i had no problem But apparently after i extended my stays not everyone is happy about it

The staff was very helpfull and accomodating, helped me during early check inn. The food/breakfast was amasing. Ans the accomodation was pretty normal, what you would expect from a hostel. Location is good, in a few minutes you are at taksim or galata tower. Overall, a good experience, i would repeat it

Decent place to stay, hipster interior. Close to the centre but noisy from a traffic. Have your ear plugs at the ready. Good breakfast but after a few days it gets a bit samey. Family room is cramped, not enough hanging options for towels and clothes/jackets.. Cleaners need to hold back on constantly knocking on doors. They couldn't wait to get into our room on checkout out!

great family stay

It was perfect. Great value for money, really well decorated and maintained, very clean, breakfast lovely and the team really helpful. Only negative was the rooftop was closed throughout as was deemed dangerous which was a shame as imagine the views were great! Location is fantastic just down the road from Shishane bus stop and metro and easy links to everywhere.
