Rota Hotel Kadıköy

Spotlessly clean, quiet, in a central and walkable location. Room is exactly like the picture. The staff are lovely. It is a humble hotel with some old features (old school elevator, etc), but it really has everything you need. I would certainly stay there again and again.

You get all basics you need and don't pay for anything you don't need. All of reception team were outstandingly friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very basic but ok, though after three days some variations would have been welome. I would call the room very economical. A very nice touch was the free of charge safe in the wardrobe. For the benefit of more space I had booked a double room just for myself, if indeed traveling with a compagnion, I would have found the bed too small for two people, especially with only one blanket provided. Same goes for the bathroom, hardly enough hooks for two people to put up their towels, wetbags etc. For me alone both were fine though. Location is not exactly on the nicest street, but it felt absolutely safe to walk outside at any time, day or night. Just a little bit further uphill is a very nice pedestrian area with tons of restaurants and stores too. Also the hotel is very conviniently located close to Ferry Boats, a mayor bus terminal and the Metro system. Noise from the street during the night (sleeping with open window) was very low, no problem at all. WiFi was very slow at best. If visiting the same area in Istanbul again on my own, I would definately choose Alize Life Hotel again

Value for money : great location newly renovated all you need is there breakfast basic but fine kind service I will stay there again
