“I had a really pleasant experience. Thank you”
The location in Aksaray is great—just a short walk to the metro and a 5‑minute stroll to the tram stop, plus Historia Mall and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore Istanbul. I first stayed in Family Room 502 with my sister and her son; it was comfortable, well equipped, and offered a lovely city view. After they left, I stayed alone and the owner kindly offered to move me to a smaller room. I switched to Room 401 for a week, which turned out to be very spacious and comfortable with another nice view. The hotel feels recently renovated and has a fresh, pleasant vibe. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman who worked at night and was always kind and attentive. Breakfast was also very good, with plenty of choices and enough variety for such a long stay. A special thank you to the owner, who was very kind, humble, and welcoming. It was especially nice to meet someone from our country who is building a successful business abroad. I wish her and the whole team continued success. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely return.
The only thing we’d suggest is that the hotel pay more attention to how guests are welcomed and treated, especially by the receptionist who speaks only Turkish. Our first‑day experience with him was not respectful or welcoming, leaving a very negative first impression. Also, there’s an occasional smell from the sewage system, but that seems to be a common issue around Istanbul.
