Büyükada Scuba Diving Vacations

The bedroom was really dusty. Curtains and the headboard etc. When i say dusty, all you need to do is use 1 finger and touch it. I have really bad allergies so this wasnt great. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel by any means. Staff seemed nice but they offered me €25 euro taxi to the airport when it only costs €10 on uber. That would have been €50 on the way there and back. Lift doesnt fully work. Loose bits of skirting in the room that room service didnt fix but just laid back on the wall. You have to keep pressing the button or you'll be inside and the lights will go off. Overall, its a okay budget hotel and very close to the airport. If you have allergies, ask them for a deep clean. Also, the rooms are not soundproof. I could hear the people next door late at night and also the dogs/planes outside.

Staff was very kind to give the room for my daughter who arrived 6hours earlier than me. It was also good to have access to the Tram as well as the nearby place to see. I will go to this hotel again!

Positives: Very good breakfast friendly staff Decent size rooms Comfortable beds Excellent shower facilities Negatives: Only limited understanding of English Bed sheets only changed after a couple of days No clothes hook in the shower room Overall good

The best thing about this hotel is by far the location. All the main attractions (mosques, Topkapi etc) are within walking distance (~15 mins) and there's a tram stop around the corner for further ventures (e.g. Kadakoy, Galata etc) The hotel itself however is not a 4* as advertised. It's very basic. I visited with 8 other guests and we were all of the same opinion. It definitely has everything you need to get by, but is not particularly comfortable. The breakfast has more Turkish options than continental (think salads/cheeses) but again has just enough choice for a decent eat - e.g. there isn't an omelette station but boiled and scrambled eggs are available. The rooms were clean and any time housekeeping was requested, it was prompt. The staff were on the whole really friendly - we did however have 1 quite pushy front desk person who repeatedly tried to sell us a boat tour (completely fine for this to happen once on arrival as information but it started to become uncomfortable as it was constant everytime i walked through the lobby after I had explained we had a booking we were already happy with). Across the 9 of us there were varied opinions on the comfort of the beds. In summary, we wouldn't be likely to stay again - however in all fairness, Istanbul is an older city so the options in such a convenient location would be limited, especially for so many people travelling together.

Overall it is good hotel for overnight stop between flights. Offering transfer from and to airport. It is a bit overpriced, IMHO. But one do not have to worry about getting drive yourself.
