I really liked the staff members as they provided the best customer service. Location was perfect near all attractions, but breakfast could be way better and for Turkey they could have better quality for food and coffee.
Absolutely LOVED the people that worked there! The room was comfortable & honestly ornate to the point of being comical. I loved it! My gosh, that food for breakfast was outstanding, too!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The location is excellent, with all the main attractions within walking distance—and to top it off, the beach is just around the corner.
On a quiet street, walking distance to major attractions and the sea broadwalk.
Reasonably priced. Its an old boutique hotel, rooms are small but clean, staff is friendly, decent breakfast custom omlets and coffees. We used card to keep ac running during our stay.
Great little hotel in the heart of Istanbul, all within a walking distance. Fantastic service, we even had breakfast included in the price. Room was bit smaller than expected btu all basic ameneties worked. Call the hotel direct for a better deal.
Nice place to stay while in Istanbul. Very close to the boardwalk outside the busy city, on a quiet street.
Close enough to walk to absolutely everything and far enough away to escape the chaos that is Istanbul.
Really enjoyed the breakfast and the tea and coffee, lots of recommendations on places and things to see.
The one thing is the rooms are small, but there is a closet to put stuff, and they are cozy.
I missed my flight to Minsk and had to stay overnight at Istanbul. I booked this hotel last minute from the airport without much research and never regretted. They made me feel very welcome even though I was a solo traveller, signed me up for an awesome dinner on a boat (I definitely needed it after two flights).
Next day I was able to walk around the city for a little bit because the hotel is 7 mins walking distance from the Blue Mosque. The breakfast at the hotel was absolutely delicious. The rooms are very clean and you feel like a royalty staying at this hotel. Highly recommend.
I realize now, a week after coming back home, that we got a tiiiny economy room in the basement, even if we booked and paid for a bigger, standard room (which clearly had natural light and windows on the pictures, unlike the basement...) I guess i was in a good mood and didnt realise at the time but this is really NOT okay. Positive points: the staff is very friendly and the neighborhood is SO pretty and cosy, also very close to the touristic area while being very quiet. Negative points: the smell in the room is AWFUL (i dont know if it smells like passion fruit or cat pee but it´s bad, and since you cant really open the window it lingers and makes it hard to sleep), no space to open our luggage, and on our last day there was no hot water (its an old house in an old part of town so it can happen, and in the end it didnt matter too much, it´s almost a fun memory). Also the TV is not working but we werent there to watch tv so it was ok.

Breakfast was nothing special and could be improved. Different styles of bread ( white/brown) ,pastries ( croissant...) more type of cereals and better juices
The over-the-top opulence of the hotel is very much a matter of taste - we thought it a perfect fit for the old town! A little worn at the edges, but it's a lovely place, with very helpful and attentive staff and a massive breakfast
We enjoyed the hotel and staff very much. If you want a boutique hotel that is designed in the Turkish style, you’ll love it. Orhan was top notch and helped us around the hotel, talking about the city, and is connected throughout the city. The hotel also coordinated our round trip airport transfers.
