Wonderful accommodations in a great location. The only challenge we had was the taxi driver didn’t know where to drop us off. Even though the hotel is in a great location, the street in front of the hotel is used only for the tram line.

Beautiful Boutique Hotel in Istsnbul

What a beautiful hotel! It’s very convenient to the tram so we had an easy time getting to the things we wanted to see. The buffet breakfast was very good—I liked that we could place an order for something like waffles or an omelet in addition to the buffet. The service was excellent on all levels. Also, they are partners with an hotel behind this hotel that has a beautiful rooftop restaurant for dinner. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much!
