About 0.5 km from Sultan Ahmed Mosque, 30.9 km from the airport

The hotel sits about 0.3 km from Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Mosque and about 0.5 km from Sultan Ahmed Mosque, in a straight line. The Basilica Cistern is about 0.6 km away, Hagia Sophia about 0.8 km, Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.1 km, and Topkapı Palace about 1.2 km. Sirkeci railway station is about 1 km distant.

Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is about 30.9 km away, in a straight line. The hotel offers a paid airport shuttle for arrivals and departures, which is the most direct option given the distance.

From a 19 m² budget double to the 50 m² sea-view family room

In between, the Deluxe Double Room offers 24 m² with one double bed, sleeping up to 3, while the Deluxe Single Room gives 20 m² and a single bed for up to 2.

The two family-oriented rooms with sea view – the 50 m² Deluxe Family Room and the 38 m² Standard Family Room with two twin beds and one double bed – are the largest and the only ones facing the sea. All other rooms face the city or, in the case of the 32 m² Budget Triple Room, the street.

The 30 m² Deluxe Triple Room, with one single bed and one double bed, is a tighter alternative for three people who prefer a slightly more open layout.

A business center, room service, and a lift

The aparthotel format means the property is built around apartment-style rooms rather than a single large lobby and corridor block, which suits travellers planning a stay of several nights or more. A business center is available for those who need a workspace beyond the room, and room service allows meals to be taken in without leaving the property.

A lift serves the building, which matters on upper floors when carrying luggage or pushing a stroller. Family rooms are among the room types offered, so a parent booking for children has a dedicated option rather than having to combine two smaller rooms.

Check-in from 14:00, check-out by 12:00, no pets

Check-in opens at 14:00 and check-out is required by 12:00. Children are allowed in the rooms. Pets are not permitted anywhere in the property. The paid airport shuttle can be arranged for the 30.9 km journey to or from Sabiha Gökçen.

Who it suits and who it does not

This aparthotel suits families travelling with children: the Standard Family Room pairs two twin beds with a double, the Deluxe Family Room gives 50 m² and two doubles, and children are welcome throughout. It also suits a small group. Budget travellers will find the 19 m² Budget Double and 32 m² Budget Triple adequate for a short stay, while the 24 m² Deluxe Double and 20 m² Deluxe Single give a couple or a solo traveller a little more room without the family-room footprint.

It does not suit a traveller arriving with a dog or cat, since pets are not allowed. The aparthotel layout and the presence of a business center point toward self-sufficient, longer-stay or work-oriented guests; a visitor wanting a resort pool or a large communal lounge will find the property oriented differently. The sea-view rooms are limited to the two family types, so a couple wanting a sea view without two double beds will need to choose the city-view Deluxe Double instead.
