Nice hotel - noisy main street

The hotel is really nice and the staff is friendly but I stayed in two separate rooms, both facing the main street and you’ll need ear plugs for sleeping for the ones on the upper floors. Breakfast is delicious.

Beautiful Boitique Hotel - Perfect Location

Beautiful Boutique Hotel in the most amazing location. Just off the main shopping street in Taksim - The best location for Istanbul! The hotel has some really stunning art and decor. The rooms are small but the space well used and perfect if you book a room with a balcony. Highly recommended!

The hotel is quite modern and located right next to Istiklal which is great but also means it is noisy so take that into account if you like quiet hotels. Overall, the room was nice and had all I needed. Reception staff were friendly and helpful too, thanks for the nice stay!

Great Boutique Hotel!!

It’s a great boutique hotel located next to Istiklal Street, accessible to everything. The interior design is eclectic and very cool. Very friendly and helpful personnel. The room we stayed at the rooftop have low ceilings and the bathroom was small, but might not be the case with the guest rooms on the other floors. In general, it was great staying there!!

Great quality-price service

i had a positive experience. great location, the rooms are a bit small but it's something in common with all the other hotels around taksim. fully renovated, very comfortable beds, great breakfast, and in the middle of the hustle and bustle. the rooms are quiet thanks to the very thick windows.
