Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking, which may be a consideration for guests driving in Istanbul's Fatih district.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window ends at 23:59 — While reception is 24-hour, check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to make special arrangements.
- Smoke-free property — No smoking is allowed on site, which may inconvenience smokers.
