Guest Ratings & Reviews
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were just perfect - clean, comfortable, and I felt right at home. However, the room was very small and the noise from the ongoing reconstruction across the street was a bit bothersome. The service here was exceptional - the staff were so helpful and friendly, always going above and beyond to assist. The location was ideal, nestled in a quiet area near Beyoglu Galata, yet close to the vibrant Galata Tower and bustling cafes and restaurants. The dining experience was delightful with a perfect view of Istanbul from the rooftop terrace. However, some parts of Istiklal were less appealing. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were comfortable and well-decorated, although they could use a bit more attention in some areas. The service was top-notch, with a smiley and helpful staff that took care of all our needs. The location was perfect, just a few minutes' walk to Galata Tower and close to all the major attractions. The dining experience was adequate, though a bit pricey compared to other options. Overall, a great value for the money spent.

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely incredible! The rooms were amazing, especially as we had requested a honeymoon suite and they exceeded our expectations. The large bathroom was a lovely touch, and being located on the fifth floor, the room was spacious with an incredible view over the Golden Horn bay. The service was top-notch, with everyone always being super nice, polite, and friendly throughout our entire stay. The location couldn't have been better; so central and close to everything we wanted to explore. The dining experience was exceptional, and the staff was always willing to go the extra mile to assist us. Definitely a hotel we would recommend to others.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were perpetually clean, tidy, and comfortable, generously sized with plenty of amenities. The housekeeping team was fantastic, always managing to service the room while I was out exploring. The location was perfect, within walking distance to both Taksim Square and the Old Town, surrounded by plenty of nice cafes, restaurants, and bars. The service was top-notch, with lovely staff that made my short stay very positive. However, the dining experience could have been more varied, and the noise from downstairs was a bit bothersome at times.
The hotel is in a great location, just a few meters away from Galata Tower and surrounded by restaurants and street food options. The rooms, though a bit small, were very clean and nice, exactly as shown in the pictures. However, there were issues with cleanliness like dust and dirty walls, especially in the bathroom with toothpaste stains on mirrors and sink.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and extremely comfortable, but the lack of proper isolation made it noisy at times. The hotel could use a bit more lighting to enhance the ambiance. The service was amazing, with extremely kind and helpful staff. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from the Galata Tower and with easy access to metro and tram stations. The dining experience was a mix of positives and negatives, with a nice variety but some dishes lacking quality. Overall, a good value for money.
The hotel rooms were stylishly decorated, functional, and very clean, providing a pleasant stay for two guests. Despite lacking an outside window and being overly hot, even in February, the cleanliness and decor were satisfactory.
