Great small boutique hotel located in Galatar historic district just a few steps from Sishane metro stop. Excellent metro access from the IST airport as well as to Grand Bazar, Sultanahmet historical district via tram. Also enjoyed the Istanbul sunset views, excellent breakfast from the roof top bar. You can find all you want to do in Galatar district including shopping, restaurants/outdoor bars, art gallery. Wonderful staff and charming hotel cat too!

This was my second time in Istanbul, and I really won a lottery with this hotel. Great location - right by metro, so getting to and from the airport is a breeze, and it's easy to get to any touristy locations. The room was quiet. Amazing considering it so loud outside. And the best part is staff - they are all amazing!

I stayed one night at the hotel. Upon arrival, my room was upgraded completely free of charge, and the communication before my arrival was very positive. The team was very welcoming, especially a young man at the reception who was very helpful during check-out. The breakfast was great — there was a good selection, and everything was very tasty. The location is also excellent, with everything within walking distance.

Great location. Great food. Great view. My room was a bit small but lacked nothing. And who wants to spend too much time in your room when the most beautiful city is at your doorstep?! Well recommended and I will return.

We had an amazing time in Istanbul and the hotel was wonderful. From the moment we checked in, Rahim and the team took excellent care of us, making sure that our questions were answered and that our stay was nothing less than perfect. In addition, the breakfast and the view of the Galata Tower each morning was breathtaking. Our breakfast host, Simin, always greeted us with a smile and she truly brightened our mornings. Çok teşekkür ederim!! We will definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend! - Best, Maria and Farideh
