Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small hotel, limited facilities — With only 10 rooms, the hotel has no on-site restaurant or bar, and common areas are limited. The breakfast is served but not elaborate.
  • No parking on site — There is no dedicated parking, which can be inconvenient for guests arriving by car in central Istanbul.
  • Check-out window is early — Guests must check out between 01:00 and 12:00, which is a narrower window than many hotels. Late departures may not be accommodated.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
