The room was always kept spotless, the soundproofing was excellent, and the location was perfect — close to everything there is to see in Istanbul. The small spa was a lovely addition for a relaxing afternoon, although complimentary water was not provided there. The staff were always very friendly and welcoming.

The hotel is newly renovated, rooms are super clean. The location is excellent — close to Galata Tower, Pera, cafes and restaurants. The street is lively daytime and quiet at night (no bars etc), windows have excellent sound isolation, so no sound is coming in. The hotel stuff is amazing. Everyone is extremely helpful and polite. Extra tip: don't skip the restaurant on the top floor. The views are to die for!

A welcoming and clean hotel

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and welcoming. It is an easy walk to the metro station. All the major attractions in Istanbul are easy to get to either walkable or with public transportation. We used the pool and spa facilities, it was great after a busy day exploring the city.
