Guest scores & sentiment

From 75 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-23

Guests praise the central location near Taksim and friendly staff. Rooms are generally clean, though some find them small or outdated. Breakfast is decent but crowded. Noise insulation and specific room conditions (e.g., basement) are common complaints.
