Location, location, location. Can't beat it. 25 minutes from the airport. Walking distance to all main attractions. Hospitality, hospitality, hospitality. All the staff in the hotel are polite, kind, and offer great suggestions on where to see and eat. There are hundreds of restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance. The tram (train) is walking distance and you can explore the entire city on the tram. The staff at Ozlem's place even provided me with a tram card . The rooms are cozy and the beds are very comfortable. Entire property is maintained very well. Breakfast at the hotel was an authentic Turkish one and delicious. I recommend you use the hotel's shuttle service to and from the airport. Whether you're a solo traveler (like me) or traveling with friends and family, this is one of the best (if not the best) properties to stay in Istanbul. Enjoy exploring the wonderful city of Istanbul.
