This hotel is ideally located to be close to Istiklal Blvd, Karakoy ferry terminal, Galata Bridge, and many of the desirable tourist spots on the European side. You can walk to most of these locations or take the tram. The hotel is in a restored historic building and has all of the amenities one would need. The staff was attentive and helpful. The breakfast was great with many options for the international traveller. I will def be staying here again!

Good staff, great services. Had an elevator in the hotel too, even though it was very small (one person at a time). Let me leave my luggages in the lobby after check out until my flight time for no additional charges. The location is very good too, close to istiklal street and Galata tower.

The rooms are so nice and we had a great view. We didn't purposely find something that was on the water since we knew we were going to be playing an Istanbul that day. They let us keep our luggage there and even called a cab for us when we were late getting back to the airport since we had been out all day. They were great hosts and I would definitely recommend them. You need to stay on this part of town.

Great weekend stay

Great central location, but away from the ‘tourist’ spot. Clean (couldn’t fault it!), well-kept building, with friendly staff. If you’re looking for somewhere other than a branded name, give this place a try.
This was their ‘cosy’ double room.
Bathroom - might not be suitable if sharing with friends (due to privacy of glass)

Lovely property and exceptional helpful staff; I remember Nergiz and Nikita who went out of the way to answer our questions. I cannot remember the name of the person who checked us in but he recommended a really good kebab place close to the hotel. It can be noisy till late because of the various food and drink options close by.

Unfortunately I had higher expectations for this hotel based on the descriptions on the booking site and the reviews. My room window was facing a wall and a flight of stairs. It was quite noisy as I could hear other guests in their rooms, and as the room was right next to the breakfast room, it was loud also in the morning and difficult to sleep. The breakfast was OK but the espresso machine was broken and the filter coffee did not taste good and was weak (made an instant coffee instead which is not great). The egg dish was tasty. Around 9am many items had run out and some were stale as it's rather hot in the room. The service was friendly upon check-in. The man serving at breakfast wasn't very welcoming. Upon checkout, the front desk called my room at 12:04, saying they were "waiting for me".
