I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were equipped with excellent facilities and provided a comfortable stay, but there was a lack of isolation. The service was top-notch with a warm-hearted and very helpful manager who ensured my needs were met. The location, although in a slightly dirty district, was conveniently close to most metro lines of Istanbul. The dining experience was delightful with homemade rolls. The hotel's facilities were outstanding, making my stay truly enjoyable.

The hotel offers excellent facilities but suffers from poor isolation, with the presence of unwanted guests using the Wi-Fi. The warm-hearted and very helpful manager ensures a range of services, though at an additional cost. The location, despite being in a dirty district, provides easy access to major metro lines. The dining experience is limited to just tacos. The facilities are well-maintained but lack proper isolation.

The hotel provides excellent facilities in the rooms, but the lack of isolation can be disturbing. The Wi-Fi service can attract unwanted guests like prostitutes. The warm-hearted and very helpful manager enhances the overall service experience, offering various convenient services such as room service, car hire, and laundry. The hotel's location is problematic, situated in a creepy neighborhood or a dirty district. However, being close to public transportation can be a redeeming factor. The dining experience may vary, with options ranging from served dishes to cakes. The facilities overall provide a good experience, but the presence of unwanted guests can be off-putting.
