Reviews
This might be the best hotel I have ever stayed at in Istanbul. I spent three days here and was thoroughly impressed by everything.
* Service & Staff: The staff was extremely helpful and kind throughout my stay.
* Location: The hotel's location is fantastic, making it easy to access all the major sights.
* Rooms: The rooms were clean and hygienic, which is incredibly important.
I only had the chance to try the breakfast on my last (third) day, and I was so disappointed that I missed it the first two! It was truly a wonderful breakfast with a rich variety.
I was very pleased with absolutely everything, from start to finish. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Istanbul.
Room plus points are very clean, scando style, calm, very comfy beds, great shower.
Negative are no view in basic room..partial sea view from delux room.
Basic room. Pretty small for 2 people to share.
Great pool and sauna. Didn't use the mini hammam or massage..not sure how all that worked as we used a gorgeous renovated old 1500's hammam just down the road.
Breakfast was ok. Up on the roof with partial sea views and if you go up to the roof terrace you can see the galata tower.
Overall the hotel was very comfy with good facilities but a bit souless.
Princess the cat in the lobby was a highlight!
The breakfasts were delicious and filling, and although there were plenty of people staying, it felt like the hotel was empty.
They check in guests very well.
All the sights are within walking distance (we didn't use the taxi or metro at all).
We'll definitely return to the hotel, this time with a larger group. The cat is so cool ❤️
