The hotel met my preference, the location is at outskirt of the city center, very peaceful area, there are restaurants, cafes and bars behind the hotel, a nice place to chill out. Near to galata mall by the bosphorus, a super nice place to hang out. Convenience store also nearby I love the peaceful Azan. Tips- Taksim - take the Tram near the hotel to Karakoy 11lira and take Tunel to Taksim 23lira, smooth down hill back to hotel. or you can climb up the hill and have smooth down hill back to hotel Aya Sophia - take the Tram near the hotel to Sultanahmet Grand bazaar - Beyezit Grand Spices - eminonu Topkapi Palace - Gulhane These popular places are all about 50 meters to each other, you can stop at one of these and walk. Use 1 time entry ticket (11 lira) The hotel also arrange trip for boat tour, and many more activities and site visits. Room is as published, we rented the 25m square fit room size which is good enough for two pax. Hot water functioning very good Heater functioning Any problem, Cihat the hotel owner is ready to response.

the lift was not working on our last day in Istanbul, but its fine. Im sure the hotel will perform maintenance check of its room and facilities from time to time.

The staff was very friendly and helpful; they even helped us a few times and got us some taxis, because none of them was accepting on Uber. The location is perfect, in Karakoy, which is very central and perfect to walk around, as there is the tram station exactly outside of the hotel. Our breakfast was room service type, since they were renovating the kitchen and the restaurant. Besides all, the quality-price report is amazing, one of the cheapest hotels I have stayed in istanbul at, and one of the best for the price and for what we needed for a short stay in Istanbul. If it is your first time in Istanbul, I could recommend staying in Sultanahmet, as it easier to reach the main attractions, but for me, this hotel will be added to my lists and will be remembered for when I am back.

It is not a tragic happening, but we were not announced that the breakfast would be room serviced. However, they brought us enough food for two people(I also appreciated the constant water bottles in the room, which were very helpful on such a heat). The only inconvenient was the door, which would break easily off the wall if forced, but again, for a short trip, that was not a big problem and we did not feel unsafe just because of this. Most probably, if we had gone to the reception, they would have changed our room, but we did not feel the need to.

Everything.

The breakfast.

Very good location. Hotel is not new, but comfortable, clean, all necessary things in the rooms, good bed, personnel is very polite and ready to help. Just 50 meters you can find streets full of restaurants and bars with several cuisine. Also just in 3 minutes walk the New GalataPort (Modern Istanbul) with tens of restaurants, and beautiful sea-side embankment for evening walks. Nice for business and tourism trips for single or couples.

The restaurant was under renovation, except for the room in the hotel there are no places where you can drink coffee. Although there are dozens of cafes nearby. Not new jamming doors in the showers sticking, wine stains on the carpet, and audibility from the hallway. In general, the hotel is quiet, but you can hear people talking in the hallway

In my experience (4 times in Istanbul) this hotel location is the best in Istanbul! Just around the corner are wonderful, fairy lit streets with lovely buzzing cafes, bars and restaurants. The best baklava in Istanbul, called Karaköy Güllüoğlu - is just a 2 min walk away!

The breakfast on the first day which was simple Turkish breakfast on a plate. We mentioned it wasn’t a ‘good breakfast’ how it’s listed on their ad and from the next day there was a buffet with more food including fruit. Still needed more variety food.

Grat location nearby trams, kindn staff, comfortable beds and nice view

Breakfast is not self service as it was before

The beds were very comfortable, and the room decor was really unique; a really cozy stay. The staff were also very helpful arranging transport, arranging the river cruise for us, and helping with other needs. The breakfast in the room was also nice!

It was right next to the mosque, so it was quite loud early morning; however, that's to be understood in many of the areas, and despite that, the location is the best possible location in the entire city. So close to everything! At one point we did have to change rooms because the AC wasn't working and the sink was leaking, but the reception was quick to help us move rooms. I would still stay here again. It was a really nice stay.

The location of the hotel is perfect, near the Tophane tram station, so you can easily reach many major sites/attractions by tram. Beautiful promenade of Galataport just a few steps away, so are the restaurants and cafes around the hotel. The room was clean. It was a bit noisy in the evening, but it was fine during the night. Breakfast is basic, but a good selection. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Location is excellent in the heart of the city and near to tram station and bus but direct entry to hotel entrance because it is through paid autopark which usually is full with no pass , I would like to thank mr.Jehad alot for his excellent support and smiling welcoming.

Room service need to be improved.

I liked the destination, I think it’s well fitted for all kind of groups. Because the area the hotel is in is pretty crowded yet it amazed me how calm it were. Just the street down below that takes you to the water has everything.. Markets, all kind of restaurant with turkish and international food. The rooms in the hotel is pretty classy. more importantly it was very clean. Great and helpfull personel. This the first time im making a review, because this time I had to, I highly and highly recommend this place!
