Loved the hotel

Amazing stay at hotel. The standout from the experience was the staff. Always so helpful. Sinan on the front desk was lovely and always smiling and wanted to do everything he could to make my stay perfect. Proper Turkish breakfast was superb on the roof terrace. The location is great too if you want to experience the city. You can walk across to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia and you have all the delights of Beyoğlu on your doorstep. I want to come back here with my family and allow them to experience the hotel too.

Overall, we would highly recommend this hotel. It is perfectly located in the heart of the bustling Beyoğlu district/neighborhood, close to the Galata tower, and also still centrally located for you to maneuver to other neighborhoods, ferry points, and sites. When you step into the hotel, it feels like a small oasis. The service is personable and helpful, while the rooms/space are clean and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful building, ideally located with bars, cafes, restaurants, and shops just steps away in every direction. It's also conveniently close to public transportation. The rooftop restaurant and bar offer great food and drinks at fair prices. The staff are friendly and professional, making for a pleasant stay. The only minor drawback is occasional noise from nearby bars late at night on busy days.
