Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was a bit small and could use some improvements for a better sense of space, but I did appreciate the stylish bathroom and the overall concept of the hotel. The location was vibrant and perfect for exploring, although it was a bit tricky to reach by taxi due to being on a dead-end street.
I absolutely loved the unique aura and design of the hotel, especially its bathroom style. While the room was on the street side and small, the less-than-friendly treatment by the manager when requesting a larger room was a downside.
Despite some noise issues from nearby bars and an overly inquisitive night receptionist, my stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The central location near Istiklal Street and Taksim Square was fantastic, but the small rooms and lackluster dining experience were drawbacks.
The hotel was quiet, clean, and well-located, offering a peaceful stay with attentive service.
