Guests consistently mention the helpful staff and the rich breakfast served with a view. The hotel also offers practical touches like luggage storage, a safe deposit box, and express check-in/out — plus paid parking on site for those arriving by car.

In brief
What works, what to weigh

Strengths

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Value rating is the weakest category — Guests rated 'Value' at 7.5 out of 10 — lower than other categories like Facilities (9.1) and Staff (8.3). This suggests some guests felt the price-to-experience ratio wasn't as strong as other aspects.
- Paid parking on site — Parking is available, but one reviewer notes a fee of £3 per day. Free parking may be found nearby, but it's not guaranteed.
- Limited room variety — The hotel offers a small number of room types — from Single Rooms to Family Rooms — but no suites or premium categories are listed. Guests seeking more upscale accommodation may find options limited.

7.9Verified guest“A porter took our heavy luggage to the room even at 1am, and the receptionist was charming. Not the most exciting hotel, but clean, staff spoke English, and it's a great spot for catching the train from nearby Haydarpasa station. Super views from the rooftop restaurant and a good breakfast choice.”
04 — Location
Getting around Istanbul
The property sits in Istanbul.
Getting to the European side: Kadıköy is a major transport hub on Istanbul's Asian shore. Ferries from Kadıköy to Eminönü and Karaköy run frequently, making Sultanahmet and the historic peninsula about a 15-minute crossing away. Haydarpasa station is also nearby for train connections.
On your doorstep: The hotel sits on Rihtim Caddesi, a main street in Kadıköy lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants. The area is lively but the hotel's side street location keeps things quieter, as several reviews note.
Rihtim Caddesi Nemlizade Sokak No:34 Kadikoy, Istanbul, Istanbul Province, 34726, Türkiye
