Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise Ruz Hotels for its fantastic location in Beyoğlu, right off Istiklal Street, making it ideal for exploring the 'New Town' cafes and bars. The spacious rooms feature modern designs with exposed brick walls and interesting decor; however, some guests have noted noise from the street. The rooftop restaurant, offering panoramic views and excellent cuisine, is a particular highlight.

mixed feelings about the stay

small room limited menu

the room was smaller than expected, and there was no proper closet, only a hanging rack. street noise was pretty bad even though the windows were supposed to be soundproofed. plus, breakfast was a bit of a joke.. i mean, 20 euros for a limited menu with no croissants or yogurt? ..
