Room was cleaned everyday, friendly cleaning staff. Everything worked, shower, toilets, air conditioner etc. Free bottle of water everyday (how generous) Room was okay, bed was comfy I guess. I fell asleep in it without any problems nothing fancy, so expectations were met Close to Taksim metro, easy to get to from Istanbul airport. And easy to get to Sultan Ahmet

The staff were absolutely lovely, and the hotel itself is nice and beautiful with good facilities. However, the walls and doors in my room weren't soundproofed well, meaning I could hear everyone walking down the corridor, and the noise from the adjacent room's bathroom felt very close by. Additionally, there was no water available for the toilet/bidet function, and only one roll of toilet paper was provided—which wasn't new, but half-used from a previous guest. Overall, it's the little things that make a big difference.

Good hotel to stay at.

Good hotel to stay and good location too with many shops near by and public transport just 5min walk. The day staff amazing always happy to help. However the night staff twice I needed help and both time they said someone will bring the item I need to my room and no one came. I had to go back down stairs to the reception to ask again or collect myself.

Very properly lighted - lobby, room, corridor. etc. Bottled water and tea/coffee are replenished daily. Helpful staff. 5 minutes walk to/from Taksim Square, but a bit far to/from the bus station from the Airports - street surface is not smooth, therefore, it is hard to walk to the hotel from the airport bus stop, dragging your heavy suitcase. Wish they serve breakfast.

The service was top notch, I liked Staff, they were very kind and polite to us. This is a huge + The room was clean, everything we needed was available. There were no bathrobes, but that's not critical. If you are a fan of large space, get bigger rooms. We had a standard room and so the square footage was small. By the way, the building itself was built in the 17-18 century.

Good for short stay. Professional service.

Very good experience with professional service by Oskan, Khizr and later Birol and a number of others seen and unseen (cleaning staff). I had known that the room I reserved was small but it sufficed for my short stay. The location is also convenient. While there was no breakfast there are many cafes etc nearby to choose from. The only negatives were the late night sounds from area clubs as well as somebody smoking close enough to my window to be a nuisance.

Here's a polished and natural version of your hotel review: We stayed at this hotel for two nights in a triple room and had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is excellent—just a couple of minutes' walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, while also being in the heart of the charming Cihangir neighborhood, with its many cafés, restaurants, and unique atmosphere. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay in a fantastic location in Istanbul.

Great place for a single woman. Location is great because the area is safe and busy till very late/early morning. It’s very close to public transportation, so it has easy access. Plus, this hotel is actually quiet which is rare for the Taksim area.

lovely little hotel in the heart of the city

Excellent location, and despite being in a noisy district near Taksim Square, I asked for a quiet room and was given one at the back, which was indeed very quiet. My room was huge and very comfortable. bathroom small but adequate. The rooftop terrace was superb, shame there was no bar in the hotel but there's a supermarket just down the road so easy enough to bring your own drinks. Shame they closed the rooftop terrace at night though, it would have been nice to sit up there with a drink in the evening too.
