In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Practical location on the Asian Side — Close to the Kaynarca Marmaray train station, making it straightforward to reach central Istanbul for sightseeing, and near the waterfront promenade, parks and local amenities.
  • Free parking — Guests arriving by car can park on site at no extra cost, a clear advantage in a busy city like Istanbul.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Several guests highlight the welcoming reception team, with some receiving upgrades and assistance during their stay.
  • Spacious rooms — Triple and family rooms are described as large, with some featuring kitchens, seating areas and balconies with sea views.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Modest overall rating — With a guest score of 7.8, the hotel is decent but not outstanding. The service and rooms categories match this, while value (7.6) and another category (7.4) sit slightly lower.
  • Location is not the historic centre — On the Asian Side, about 4.1 km from Tuzla Shipyard, it’s a practical base for the airport and Marmaray but not within walking distance of major Sultanahmet sights—you’ll need the train or a taxi.
  • No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with an animal, this is a constraint—the hotel states pets are not permitted.
  • Small property — With only 29 rooms, the scale is intimate, but it also means fewer on-site facilities than larger hotels—though it does have a pool and garden.
