6.4Verified guest“The lobby is excellent—a perfect spot to wait for transport or meet up with your group. The friendly staff can even arrange transportation. The rooms are simple but functional, good for solo travelers, with free wifi (though not the fastest). The highlight is the top-floor restaurant: large windows with an amazing view, making breakfast a great experience. I'd recommend it for a comfortable stay in Istanbul.”
