Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small property with limited facilities — With only 8 rooms, there's no full-service restaurant or extensive amenities. Guests should expect a guesthouse-style stay rather than a large hotel experience.
  • No pets allowed on the property — The hotel explicitly states 'No pets allowed', despite the policy field mentioning 'Allowed' — the amenity list overrides, so travellers with pets should look elsewhere.
  • Parking is nearby, not on-site — Parking is available but described as 'nearby', which could mean extra walking with luggage. Guests planning to drive should confirm the exact arrangement in advance.
  • Smoking rooms available — The hotel offers smoking rooms, which could be a concern for non-smoking guests. If you're sensitive to smoke, ask for a non-smoking room or consider AC in ground-floor rooms.

“Great value for money — affordable rates and all the basics. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable, just like the friendly owner. The location is handy for Istiklal Street and Taksim Square. My ground-floor room was air-conditioned, tastefully decorated, and kept spotless.”

“A good place if you need a comfy bed and a clean shower. I stayed 5 nights while apartment-hunting and didn't spend much time in the room. They graciously upgraded me to a one-bedroom at no charge.”

“Stayed here over Christmas and loved the spacious, clean rooms — they looked just like the pictures, only bigger. Comfortable beds and a wide-screen TV were a bonus. The location was key: a short walk to the main square and close to shops and restaurants, which made exploring the city during the festive season very easy.”
