In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Location for getting around — Guests consistently highlight the convenience for exploring Istanbul, with tram, Metrobus, and bus stops nearby, plus easy access to taxis and the beach.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — The staff receive repeated praise for being amicable, cooperative, and going beyond expectations to assist guests.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Away from the city centre — The hotel is in the Avcilar district, which is not central Istanbul. It's about 55 km from the airport, and guests need to rely on public transport or taxis to reach main attractions.
  • Mixed value rating — While the location and breakfast are praised, the value score is lower than other categories, suggesting some guests feel the price doesn't always match the experience.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place—pets are not permitted on site.
  • Limited soundproofing in some areas — While rooms are noted as quiet, the hotel is on a main road (D-100), so light sleepers might still notice traffic noise.

“We stayed for six nights and really enjoyed it. The place was fairly clean and the staff were friendly and cooperative. The room was quiet with good views, and it had an iron and ironing board, coffee and tea making equipment, and a work desk. The location was unbeatable—close to lots of taxis, Ataturk airport, and the restaurant.”
