Overall, the stay was fine. The room was clean, the breakfast was good, and the staff were helpful. However, the room service was disappointing. The room wasn’t always cleaned thoroughly. Sometimes the bed sheets weren’t changed and the pillows were simply rearranged. The hair dryer also produced smoke, and instead of shampoo, hand soap was provided.
So while the room itself was acceptable, the service and amenities were below expectations.

The room was clean, but the location was not as advertised. It took about 25 minutes to walk to Taksim Square, not the short distance described in the listing. Also, the reception staff was not very welcoming and asked for additional money, which was unexpected and disappointing. Overall, my experience did not match the expectations created by the listing.

Nice clean place. Smoke scent free. Nice breakfast and location (walking distance to the port. Great place for the price. Only issue is that there was no sign on the building to indicate its location. It was affiliated with the building across the street for registration but it had a different name.

This is a boutique hotel, not a large hotel, so keep that in mind. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the tourist area, with Istiklal Street and Taksim Square just behind the hotel. Be prepared for steep hills, but that's part of Istanbul! The city is full of beautiful cobblestone streets.

There are plenty of restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores nearby. Just a few streets away is the beautiful Bosphorus waterfront with amazing restaurants and views. I only discovered it on my last day and loved it.

I highly recommend this hotel if you want a central location. Just wear comfortable shoes because you'll be walking up and down steep streets.

I also joined two tours offered by the hotel. The Old City Tour was excellent, and our guide was amazing. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name. However, I was very disappointed with the Princes' Islands Tour. The guide left us on our own as soon as we arrived on the island, which was difficult because I don't speak Turkish. The tour company was Blue Brothers, and I will be leaving them a separate review. I don’t recommend them at all.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel

Some of the reviews scared me, but I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! My room was huge, and everything was brand new looking and well cleaned. The breakfast was just across the street at the sister hotel and had so many options! The location was perfect; not noisy at night and it was right between karakoy and galata areas so I could explore to the tourist parts whenever I felt like it

Overall would not return to the property but did have a relatively pleasant stay

PROS:
- Great proximity to Karakoy, Galata and Taksim!
- Room was clean, bathroom is modern and spacious. Housekeeping is great!
- Front desk staff is great
- AC worked well
- Good value

CONS:
- The immediate area next to the hotel is residential and can feel a bit dirty (ie there was a dead rat around the corner one morning), you’re also in proximity to a mosque and can hear the Adhan broadcast
- Wifi is an open network and very slow
- There was no hand soap provided so we had to buy a bar which is more of an inconvenience than anything
- The entrance to the hotel building is not locked. We were on an upper floor so still felt secure but on a ground floor room I would not have been comfortable

There were many positives. We had what we needed, and the staff were friendly and helpful, and they speak English. The location was great for our purposes, which were touristic. There was a lift. We might stay there again. Also great is that there is supermarket next door.

The negatives: the room felt a little damp, and the shower could get slippery. There were four or five WiFi networks, none of which delivered a stable service. Lastly, we returned to our room one day to find housekeeping had left the door open, which we did not appreciate, especially considering we had all our stuff in there, including our passports and our laptops.

Das Hotel ist schwer zu finden (Taxifahrer musste mehrere Personen in der Straße fragen), kein Schild o.ä. an der Außentüre. Checkin und -out sind im Hotel gegenüber Sultan Saliba. Dort kann man auch frühstücken.
Personal freundlich.
Das Nebengebäude ist nicht verschlossen, d.h. jeder kann unbeobachtet in das Gebäude und in den Aufzug zu den Zimmerfluren.

Konumu harika tramvay ve otobüs duraklarına çok yakın. Galata’ya yürüme mesafesinde. Temizlik, kahvaltı, otel personeli olarak çok tatlı bir ekipti. Caddeye yakın olmasına rağmen gürültü ya da uyku problemi yaşamadık. Otelin dış girişinde kartınızı okutarak giriyorsunuz bu güvenlik açısından çok rahatlattı bizi. Çok memnun kaldık. Tekrar tercih edebileceğim güvenilir bir yer. Teşekkürler 🙏

Das Zimmer ist okay, aber das Reinigungspersonal sollte mindestens Englisch oder Türkisch sprechen können. Zimmer wurde trotz Aufforderung 3 Tage lang nicht gereinigt !
Ein TV ist zwar wie in der Beschreibung erwähnt vorhanden, jedoch man muß seinen eigenen Netflix / Disney Login benutzen, ( sofern man einen hat ) sonst funktioniert nämlich gar nichts, auch kein Live TV trotz Satellitenempfang !!
Das Frühstück war allerdings sehr gut !
