Property was clean. Staff was very helpful, they guided us for good attractions and good restaurants. Location is very convenient for shopping. And convenient to visit Taksim area. But the property is expensive for its size and facilities. No swimming pool and Spa rates are also higher.

Our best stay in Istanbul

Newly built hotel in a quiet side street of Istiklal - the most vibrant part of Istanbul. Great design, comfortable clean rooms, perfect service. Special thanks go to the guy at the reception /I am sorry we missed to ask his name/, who met us, gave us all the information we needed and was always so kind whenever we met. He is a real treasure of the hotel, because you feel really welcome.

Quaint spot near food and shopping. I would stay a

Checkin was quick. Staff was very helpful. I stayed only one night. They checked on my stay via WhatsApp even with such a short stay. A little hard to find for my taxi driver. Quaint, small, but it seems like most are this way because of the way the buildings are built. Spacious enough for one or two people (stayed in a single room). I'd stay here again. Has a spa but i had no time to check it out. Not sure that they have room service because when I asked, they directed me to the restaurant next door which was only feet away. 5 min walking distance to this great street with so many shops and restaurants. Great little spot.

Temizlik ve hassasiyet konusunda çok sevdiğim bir konaklama deneyimi yaşadım. Çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımseverdi. Muhit biraz dikkatli olunması gereken bir muhitmiş ancak tekrardan konaklamaya devam edeceğiz. Tavsiye ederim. Masaj sauna hizmetinden de memnun kaldık.

Im Bad Schimmel in den Ecken, z.T. auch abblätternde Farbe an der Decke. Die Bad-Schiebetüren aus Glas waren kaum zu bewegen, da verklemmt, Duschtüren fehlten, ... Das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig aber wenig, das man zum Frühstück essen möchte: Schokopudding, mehrere Sorten Oliven, trockenes Brot, zarte Haferflocken, etwas Honigmelone, keine Butter, keine Marmelade, kein Tee, aber Gurke / Tomate (ohne Salz, Pfeffer, Öl)... aber man konnte sich Ei bestellen. Es war aber keine 15 Euro wert. Das Restaurant, das abends ein sehr freundlicher Gastwirt betreibt, ist uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.

Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Zum Restaurant kann ich nichts sagen, da ich ohne Frühstück/Halbpension gebucht habe. Insgesamt bin ich ganz zufrieden mit dem Hotel. Negativ war für mich der im Hotel angebotene Hamam Sauna. Die Sauna hätte etwas wärmer sein können. Beim Hamam wiederum haben wir an der Decke Schimmel gesehen. Der Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption hat mir versichert, sie schauen es sich sofort an. Bin mal gespannt :)
