Sehr gute Lage, dadurch aber Nachts etwas laut. Bad ist sehr klein und wirkt sehr abgenutzt.

7.0

Die Lage ist perfekt, direkt in einer Restaurant- und Café-Gegend, die vor allem von jungen Leuten aufgesucht wird. Dementsprechend laut ist es aber auch in der Nacht, was unbedingt beachtet werden muss. Der Ausblick beim Frühstück ist traumhaft.

− Die Lobby ist schön und wirkt luxuriös, die Zimmer sind teilweise etwas abgeranzt. Das Badezimmer ist extrem klein. Das Dach des Frühstücksraums hat Löcher, weshalb bei Regen überall Eimer aufgestellt werden. Das wirkt nicht vertrauenswürdig. Zwar ist die Lage sehr gut, Nachts ist es dementsprechenden aber ziemlich laut, vor allem am Wochenende. Außerdem befinden sich direkt vor dem Hotel zwei Moscheen, weshalb der Gebetsruf morgens um 5:30 Uhr besonders laut ist. Das sollte beachtet werden.

10.0

Great spot right in the Karakoy area. Easy walk to the waterfront and right next to a huge area of restaurants and bars. Great central spot. Hamam and Spa downstairs, helpful staff, easy access to taxis and tram. Great place to stay. My room was a little small, but that's fine because I was out and about all the time anyway. No complaints. Loved my stay!
