How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where the hotel is, and how far the sights are
Galata Tower is about 0.6 km away in a straight line, Taksim Square about 1.1 km, and Sirkeci railway station about 1.8 km.
The major sights sit farther out: Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.9 km, Topkapı Palace about 2.1 km, Hagia Sophia about 2.6 km and Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 2.9 km, each in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 31.7 km from the hotel and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 32.1 km.
From the 18 m² Economy double to the 23 m² Superior King
Five room types make up the hotel, and the choice between them comes down to size, beds and capacity. The Economy Double Room and the Standard Double Room are both 18 m² with one queen bed and sleep up to two; the Economy looks onto the street. The Standard Twin Room, at 20 m² with two twin beds and a street view, is the one for two people who prefer separate beds.
The two Superior rooms sit above them. The Superior Double Room is larger than the Standard, at 22 m², on the same queen bed and the same maximum of two guests. The Superior King Room is the largest at 23 m², with one super-king bed, and it is the only room that sleeps up to three, which makes it the pick for three adults sharing or a family with a child. Since every other room tops out at two guests, capacity is the first thing to settle when choosing. The hotel also offers family rooms.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Double Room | 18 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 2 | street view |
| Superior King Room | 23 m² | 1 super-king bed | up to 3 | – |
| Standard Double Room | 18 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 2 | – |
| Standard Twin Room | 20 m² | 2 twin beds | up to 2 | street view |
| Superior Double Room | 22 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 2 | – |
A restaurant on site, and room service
For eating, there is a restaurant on site, and room service brings food up to the room.
Taken together, these mean a guest can eat and unwind without leaving the hotel, which is useful on a rest day or a late arrival.
Check-in, children, parking and the airports
The practical rules are few, but two of them, the absence of parking and the paid airport shuttle, shape how arrival works.
- Check-in from 15:00; check-out until 12:00.
- Children are allowed.
- The hotel has no parking, so anyone arriving by car needs to arrange it elsewhere.
- A paid airport shuttle serves the airports: Sabiha Gökçen about 31.7 km away and Istanbul Airport about 32.1 km, in a straight line.
Who the hotel suits, and who it does not
Couples are well served by any of the queen-bed rooms, and the choice between them is mostly floor area: 18 m² in the Economy and the Standard, 22 m² in the Superior Double. Two friends or colleagues get separate beds in the 20 m² Standard Twin. Three travelling together, or parents with a child, fit the Superior King Room, and with children allowed and family rooms on offer, the hotel works for small families. Guests who want a hammam or a sauna in the building have both, along with the spa.
No room sleeps more than three, so larger groups need several rooms. Within those limits, the hotel covers couples, pairs and small families well.
