Overall good. But one of the employees was trying to intrude in our privacy. We have stayed here before also. Good satisfying stay overall though!

Excellent staff
We paid for a bigger room as we were staying a few nights. The room was lovely. There were black out curtains on the windows, the bed large and comfortable. The duvet, however, wasn't as big as the bed! The en suite was a little tired looking, and the hair dryer low-powered.
The staff are exceptional, very helpful.
We had breakfast on 3 mornings, but stopped when we realised we were being charged the full continental breakfast price for an orange juice and a croissant.

Cute boutique hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel . I met my parents in Istanbul and we all stayed at the hotel . The rooms were spacious, nice and super clean . Breakfast was in a charming area and always had a great variety. The hotel is located in the center of the old city and minutes walk to many historic sites.
My only comment is that the hair dryer in the bathroom is so outdated so if you use one bring it with you .

Small boutique hotel
Small outdated boutique hotel, terrible view if you didn't get street side, problems with internet. Very nice staff. Definitely not a 5-star hotel, price to value in my opinion bit high. However, if you there just to spend few nights, not a bad choice as it's close to the old city sightseeing.

Great location. Excellent setvice from hotel staff. I was initially assigned a room with a very low ceiling on the top floo. But the following day the hotel.moved me to a much better room on the ground floor. The breakfast was good but rather limited. Also, if your room faces the.street you can experience a lot of late noise from nearby bars and restaurants.

Awesome location
We booked presidential suite but to our surprise it was a very small room . The good part was the staff — Ali and Taylan were both awesome . Our check in process was very fast . He was very helpful in explaining all details about the area , taxis and trams like everything . Location is super , it is right in the middle of a busy street with food vendors all around , very lively and colourful street. Breakfast was ok. Very close to famous mosque Hagia Sofia .

Very Enjoyable Stay
A fantastic hotel, although a little more modest then it's title and accompanying photos might suggest. It's location is in the heart of Old Town Istanbul, near many if the attractions. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful and beautifully run top draw 👏
I fell in love with this place. Its a stunning hotel and deserves the rating it has. The management amd staff are a credit to the chain. My only concern was that its described as wheelchair accessible and although i found the inside to be perfect for myself please be mindful theres no wheel in shower only a bath in certain rooms. This is exactly what i wanted but might not be so good for someone wheelchair bound that cannot transfer easily. Also there is currently no ramp at the front door something im confident that the management will be rectifying imminently. They lifted me up the 2 stairs happily without any issue. However to some as we speak wouldn't be happy about. Personally it was a small price to pay to stay at such a well run beautiful hotel it a lovely location. Surronded by restaurants and bars and close enough for a short 10 minute walk to the local metro which is cheaper than chips to use. I hope they get a removable ramp because it would make this a regular stop for me and my wife.
