We booked this hotel based on the other recommendations. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the best experience starting with our airport transfer from the hotel not showing up at 5am. Everyone was friendly but breakfast is a bit chaotic with one supervisor walking around drinking coffee as other servers running about, seemingly in an aimless way. The room was lovely and clean but pretty noisy due to the location. Overall we were just a bit underwhelmed.

Thanks to the front desk staff at the hotel - Arafat and Crew. They also make sure that we are well taken care of in our favourite themed room. Rooms are spotlessly clean. Their breakfast is now also served on the 6th - beautiful views over the city. Tried their oat porridge this time round… hooked… takes me back to childhood days. Their insights and guidance to sights/events within the city, invaluable.

Love this hotel. Very walkable to many Istanbul attractions, shopping and restaurants

This is a very nice property. I chose it because it appeared to be walking distance to the most significant historic sites. It did not disappoint. The area immediately around the hotel is mostly restaurants and other hotels. My room did not have a view and I believe none of the rooms really have a view except toward adjacent buildings and the array of AC units etc that are plentiful. There is a nice view from the 6th floor restaurant.The room is a nice size, the bed was comfortable and bedding was very nice. The toilet and shower are actually not in a separate room. they are in the bedroom but with a glass enclosure that has a digital print scene on the glass so that it is opaque. Rather ingenious. The sink was outside and next to this glass enclosure. It is a single marble sink. The closet space is good and there is a nice large desk surface and a built in seating are under the window. The staff was very nice and very helpful. Breakfast was good. Not great but certainly had a wide assortment of options as well as al a carte items that could be ordered. I particularly liked the fruit options and am not a big breakfast person but it seemed to satisfy those in the dining room. There is cheese, eggs, pastries, yogurt and toppings and more. I would recommend this hotel as a level 4 for the area. The price is much more than hotels by Galata Tower but I preferred to be near the historic sites.

Good
