Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient for accessing major tourist activities, but the room I stayed in was underground without windows or fresh air, which was disappointing. The service was average, with some issues regarding reservation cuts by the staff. The dining options were satisfactory with a variety of dishes but lacked certain basics like butter. The hotel had great access to the T1 tram for easy transportation.
The hotel is intriguingly located underground, offering a unique experience with all the amenities you need, though lacking natural light or fresh air. The presence of an extra bed adds convenience. However, the absence of windows might not suit everyone's preference.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms lacked windows and fresh air but were equipped with an extra bed and no Wi-Fi access. The service from the waiters to the manager was subpar with issues regarding the reservation cut. The location was convenient to the T1 tram, although not right at the main attractions. The dining experience needed more variety and lacked butter. The facilities were satisfactory but not exceptional.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were without windows or fresh air underground but had a comfortable double bed and all the necessary amenities. The location is good, close to the T1 tram, making it convenient to reach attractions, although not right in the heart of the city. The dining could be better with more variety and a lack of butter served. The service had ups and downs, with issues regarding reservation management and communication from the staff to the manager. However, there are many shops nearby with reasonable prices for souvenirs. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.

The service, though some issues with reservation cuts, primarily from the waitstaff, is overall satisfactory. The location is just outside the bustling Sultanahmet Square, offering easy access to major tourist activities.

Despite its underground setting, the facilities cater to essential needs and offer a comfortable stay.
