“This hotel stands out for its location, convenient to ferries for the Princes' Islands and the Asian side, though a few guests have noted early morning call to prayers. Reviews highlight the staff's helpfulness and charm, and the value for money, with some suggesting improvements to the breakfast. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those prioritizing location and service.”
