Reviews
Olha from Latvia (9/10)
The hotel exceeded my expectations! This is a small cozy new hotel in a nice location, 5 minute walk from the Galata Tower. The room was large, bright and clean (I had one on the upper floor with a gorgeous view over Bosporus and the city). The staff is very friendly and helpful, they are always available and willing to help if you need anything. Breakfast is at the cafe next door to the hotel. The breakfast itself is also very good, the cafe staff is very polite and friendly too! I liked that the hotel is within walking distance to many major sights. I felt very comfortable at this hotel and would stay there if I travel to Istanbul again! Especially in that room with the Bosporus view that we stayed in!
Saruul from Austria (9/10)
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotlessly cleaned every single day, which made us feel so comfortable and well taken care of. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
The breakfast selection was very nice, offering a variety of options. On top of that, the staff were always available to help with anything we needed—whether it was arranging a taxi to the airport, providing free water, or patiently answering all of our questions.
This level of service made our trip stress-free and truly enjoyable. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming, well-maintained place to stay.Andreína from Canada (9/10)
Very friendly staff, great location only a few steps from the tower. Spacious room. We were offered free breakfast which was very thoughtful too!
Vania from Bulgaria (8/10)
I reserved the only available room. It is true that it was for the holidays, but since I read reviews that the rooms in the hotel are divided into more luxurious and more ordinary, I asked, since I have a holiday, to be more careful with the room they will offer us. We got a room next to the elevator, the unrenovated rooms are bad for their price. The breakfast is not worth it, in general we are not satisfied. They accepted our luggage for storage on the day of departure for a few hours.
