It’s a new design and very clean place to stay. The staff is more than great, their attitude and hospitality is 10/10. I went with the car and they provide a free parking spot next to the hotel all the time. The safety is also great. The rooms are cozy, the shower is very good. The heating and AC are in the room, as we use the heating only it was working great. They also surprised me with a birthday cake to my room which was a big plus ;) A lot of shops and the great bazar is so close to the place that without a car you can enjoy the accessibility. All in one a great place to stay in European side of Istanbul!
