It was looking like a one night stand place. Not clean. Shower head didnt work, air condiotener could not heat. There is a heater in the window side wall but it has not enough power to heat the room. Blanket was a too tiny.

The rooms are very cold and full of insects
The room was very cold and when I protested, they said that they would turn it on from December and room 206 was full of mosquitoes, so I changed my room. I recommend that if someone chooses this hotel, bring a heater and insecticide.

The bed was uncomfortable, the cleanliness wasn’t the best, the elevator was vibrating like a plane with turbulence so it did feel a little unsafe. Staff service was average - limited interaction though.
Check in was super quick and easy.
Overall I was expecting a bit more compared to other hotels in Instabul and in this area.

El staff es lo mejor que tiene el hotel, son super amables y colaboradores y lo segundo es la distancia caminando a Taksim son al menos 10 min, no es un hotel de lujo pero la relacion calidad-precio es correcta, se siente un olor a cigarro, pero creo que eso es en general en toda la ciudad, tambien no hacen desayuno… recomiendo el hotel mi estadia fue muy buena.

My Observation
Very small hotel with only a few rooms. In the Old Section of Istanbul close to eating. No TV Very Small Bathroom & shower is built for small people. Reception Desk guys always there and helpful. Owner there everyday and super nice. If your the Venturous type and like great price and don’t mind low end comforts it’s for you.

It’s a moderate place to stay especially for the price and this time of the year, fairly good and comfortable but don’t expect a more than average accommodation. In general it’s clean for its price as well. It was a pleasant stay.
