Fabulous price, location, even better service.

Beautiful hotel. Incredible location. Staff goes above and beyond to be helpful. I had my wallet stollen, and had no means to tip them and they still provided impeccable service. Another time when I was denied a visa to enter the country because my President is a moron, they refunded my prepaid reservation. I do not plan to ever use another hotel when traveling through Istanbul.

Does not honour offer from Hotels.com

Overall very good but they refuse to honour the offer from Hotels.com on food and beverage 20% off unless you tell the restaurant when your order so beware. They would not honour at checkout or after communication from Hotels.com . This is not good business and for that reason after 2 bookings I will not go back or recommend to friends.

Beautiful Ottoman old building with great view of the sea from the restaurant. Unfortunately the room is quite small and the hotel needs renovation. Alex at the reception was very helpful with his advice and is one of the main reasons for the overall rating we gave. Thank you Alex!

The bathroom was small in the ocean view room, the one in which I stayed. There is no escalator. However, the staff are friendly and helpful. The staff heled with taking luggage to upstairs room and helped with reservations for sight visits and Hamam. The breakfast was very good and the room ad excellent sea view!
