Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a comfortable stay at this hotel. The room, facing the back alley, was new and very comfortable, almost like an apartment. The jacuzzi tub was a nice touch, but the back street outside could get a bit busy. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff always available. The location, right off a major road and next to the Aksaray tram stop, was convenient but quite busy. The dining experience was good, especially the plentiful eastern-type dishes, but could use more variety. Overall, a modern and clean hotel with great value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The room was stunning with an amazing view of the Aksaray mosque, always fresh and clean. The location was central, near currency exchange, banks, restaurants, and coffee shops, making it super convenient. The service was top-notch, thanks to the Hotel Administration and personnel who made our stay extra comfortable. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, as the options were poor. Overall, a great value for money choice in a busy but lively area.
