Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can feel compact — A couple of guests noted that rooms are a bit small for two people, and one found the bed too soft.
- Location is a bit off the historic centre — The hotel sits in the Kartal district, farther from Sultanahmet and other main sights, though it's fine for those near the marina or business areas.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is clear on no animals.
- Breakfast is simple — While guests find it satisfying, it's described as 'simple' by some, so don't expect a lavish spread.
