Staff was great, lounge is great. Limited noise from the street. Location was awesome, just a block from the walking street. Rooms are small. I thought I booked a king bed but got a queen. In December the room was warm, almost too warm. We were on the 8th floor and had to crack a window for any ventilation. That sadly meant on Saturday night smoke was wafting into the room, I am guessing coming from the 9th floor rooftop. It’s a nonsmoking room however. Good value and felt safe though.

Great hotel in a good location in Karakoy, walkable to many dining spots and the Galata tower. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and modern - however, I would definitely pay a little bit extra and book a spacier standard room rather than the economy room (which is pretty much just a bed and bathroom). Lots of options for coffee and restaurants (though the famous dining area running parallel to the hotel street is almost entirely Turkish food...which is awesome, until you start craving variety after a few days). I do think the hotel is a bit too dimly lit, but that is the chosen vibe of the hotel. Finally, the woman working the front desk is very friendly and cute :)
