Overall hotel was nice clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful but some front desk staff were little forceful on offering excursions and private taxi service in €uro which was a LOT more expensive than paying in Lira and didn’t like it when i declined the offer. Housekeeping and breakfast staff were Amazing. However VERY disappointed with the fact there was no mention on expdia that there is NO LIFT in the property. It was difficult to climb up and down 2 floors for me as a person with mobility issues.

Great boutique hotel. Walking distance to many attractions in İstanbul. The staff is awesome and friendly. There is a private shuttle to and back to an awesome fish and meat restaurant called Yildizlar Restaurant. I recommend going there to experience Bosphorus dining. The free breakfast served at the terrace on the roof is cherry on top. Not all hotels in the area offer that. The view is beautiful and Yurkish breakfast items are fantastic. Hard on cars, but they have parking compared to many other hotels. Taxi service is available. Don't be scared of the two-way hill-y roads where one car barely fits, but they find a way to make it work although sometimes one car has to back out. Easy access to restaurants of the area and convenient stores. You can safely walk out at night as the cafes and restaurants stay open till 4 am We would go back there if we ever visit the area again.

Die Unterkunft ist nicht empfehlenswert. Das inbegriffene Frühstück sah abgestanden aus und es gab auch keine vernünftige Auswahl. Statt frischer Milch für den Kaffee gab es Milchpulver. Das Zimmer ist alt, versifftes Mobiliar und die Sauberkeit lässt auch sehr zu wünschen übrig.

The hotel itself was fine...few things i feel it wasnt up to .. the stairs are very narrow and steep....very scary to go up and down and with a suitcase its even worse. The mattresses definately need replacing as the metal springs poke through when you lying down. Breakfast i not very international and only local teas available.....staff was friendly.

Excellent long term stay in very clean and new 2br condo with kitchen for our family! Hadir is a great friendly owner that made us very welcome as he is always available, professional and knowledgeable and so is his attentive staff. Nice breakfast was included and served on the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. Safe and quiet location is superb with Hagia Sofia and sites in easy 5 mins walking distance. Also Sultanahmet tram is right there just in case for easy access to anywhere. Would definitely stay here again.
