Tolles kleines Hotel und sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Zimmer war im guten Zustand, die Aussicht fantastisch (303). Man liegt sehr zentral wenn man shoppen will. Die Restaurants direkt daneben sind preislich etwas hoch aber sehr gut. Wir werden uns wieder für dieses Hotel entscheiden wenn wir nach Istanbul kommen. Daumen hoch von uns.

Flora

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disappointed. Pros - Amazing view. Location walkable to mosques and bazaar. Restaurants nearby. Friendly staff. Good aircon but struggles to cool the room down when very hot. Cons - Poor hygiene/cleaning and lacking attention to detail. When we arrived, the bathroom had building debris left from electric work done during the day. The room itself was not properly cleaned during our stay. Did not use the jacuzzi as there was hair left in the plug from previous guest, and this was not removed even during our stay. Fridge was leaking some liquid, this was raised but ignored. There was a strong sewer smell in bathroom. Becomes massive hot box during the day without constant aircon. Overall not worth the price paid. Sadly could be an amazing place to stay if cleaned properly.

Ficamos no quarto da cobertura, o qual é excelente.. mas pagamos caro pelo quarto e o restante do hotel não condiz com o valor pago. Café da manhã simples num local apertado. Ótima localização.

Perfect for romantic getaway weekend.

We had the romantic suite. It is just amazing because it gives you the old style Turkish flair feeling. Magnificent view, firm and quiet bed, jacuzzi bathtub with great smelling soap. We got fresh baked cake and fruit everyday. They cooked different kind of breakfast every day. Located next to Dubb ethnic, a fantastic restaurant and a must try.Extremely nice staff that also gave us very good tips not provided in the guide, like the new modern museum of art. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and had a great time.

Adorable hotel

Very cute hotel. Check in and out was fast and friendly. No lift in case anyone is bringing a lot of luggage. Great bath products. Awesome location. Would reccomend they have bigger bath towels. More power outlets would be nice but probably difficult in renovated heritage homes...
