Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and service score below the hotel's overall rating — Rooms, service, and value each rate 6.8, which pulls down the average. Some guests may find the rooms dated or the service uneven.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 13:30 to 23:59. Guests arriving very early or late at night may need to make arrangements.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited on-site parking — While parking is listed as an amenity, it's not clear if it's on-site or off-site, and in dense Fatih street parking can be challenging.
