“The rooftop pool, with its panoramic views, certainly stands out. Its location in Aksaray means key attractions are within reach, but some aspects, like noise and dated facilities, need attention. I found that the blend of Ottoman decor gives it a distinctive, if imperfect, character.”

romantic istanbul escape

convenient metro staff warmth turkish breakfast

i loved the location it was near many charming cafes shops and restaurants. the metro was a short walk from the hotel a convenient option for exploring. the staff greeted us warmly and remembered us the next day. breakfast offered authentic turkish flavors with fresh bread and a good variety of dishes

the room was a bit compact making it a bit challenging to manage large suitcases comfortably. it would be better if there were more space to move around freely.

Dining

9/10

the breakfast had a good variety of options each morning. i especially enjoyed the local pastry prepared fresh each day. the waiters were very helpful they offered great advice about nearby attractions.

Facilities
