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.
