The hotel is very nice. It is clean, the staff are very friendly and accomodating. The rooms were comfortable, but there was only a thin blanket on the bed (just ask for another blanket, especially if you use the air conditioning). The area around the hotel isnt amazing, but it is pretty typical for Kadıköy. I lived in İstanbul years ago, so it didnt bother me, but for someone unfamiliar with Kadıköy, it may be a bit uncomfortable. Overall, I absolutely recommend this hotel. I would stay here again.
