Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort scores below average — The Comfort rating is the lowest category (6.5), suggesting that rooms may not be as plush or quiet as some guests expect.
  • Outskirts location — Situated on the outskirts of Istanbul, about 3.2 km from the sea, so it's not within walking distance of major tourist sights.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is restricted to a narrow 1-hour window (13:00-14:00), which may be inconvenient for guests arriving at other times.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals must look elsewhere.
