Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and service rated below average — Guest ratings for rooms (6.3) and service (6.5) are on the lower side, suggesting the experience may not match the location's appeal.
- Facilities score is low — The facilities category rated just 5 out of 10, which may indicate limited or dated amenities.
- Dining is a weak point — Dining received a 6.0 rating, so on-site food options might be limited or not to everyone's taste.

8Verified guest“Lovely hotel in a great neighbourhood, and the room looked brand new, nicely decorated, with a comfy bed and a balcony – plus tea. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and I'd happily come back.”
8Verified guest“Rooms are generously sized and look out over the Sea of Marmara. It's in a local area, within walking distance of a mosque and a basilica, and there's a lake about 20 minutes away on foot.”
8Verified guest“We had a roomy family room and the rooftop terrace gave us great views. Everything was clean and well looked after, and the staff carried our bags up the stairs. A really enjoyable stay.”
