Worth weighing

  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

“The location was excellent, really close to Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, and the tram stop. The staff and the owner were very kind and helpful. Rooms were neat and cozy, and we could park on site.”

7.6Verified guest

“I had a fantastic five-day stay. The location was perfect, surrounded by restaurants and within walking distance of the main sights. Reception staff were friendly and professional, and Nagris went out of their way to arrange a taxi. My top-floor room was compact but well-equipped with a spacious balcony. The buffet breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommended.”
