A boutique hotel. Room was on the small side but well furnished. Restaurant on the roof with an excellent view of the Bosphorus. Good way to start the day. Also nice to have a drink on terrace in the evening. Best thing is the location. About a 10-minute walk to Sultan Ahmet but the hotel itself isn't in a crowded neighborhood.

Staff was very friendly and co-operative. Ismail and other staff guided me about nearby attractions, helped me with transportation. I was a solo traveler. They helped make my stay comfortable. Even helped me charge my phone as I didn't have the correct charger for Turkey :). Property was walking distance from all major attractions.

Great view.

Rooftop restaurant has wonderful view, friendly staff. Food was great. Check in was slow and there was a lot of confusion over matching the names to room reservations. Once settled, room was comfortable. We would stay again.

The hotel was in a perfect area to explore most of the attractions in Istanbul within walking distance. Our room was cozy and clean, but the view out of our window was terrible. Would be nice if they could at least add flowers or something nice to look at when your view is the backside of hotel on lower floor. We asked to be moved to upper floor but said they were fully booked. Make sure you pay for upgraded room so you don't end up with wanting to keep your drapes constantly closed. Front desk were all very nice. Breakfast was very good. Lots of options and beautiful spot to eat inside or out. Would stay again but pay for balcony/better view room.

Excellent Hotel to stay at. Friendly staff and great service. Room is spacious for a couple and we would definitely recommend an ocean side room for spectacular views. Lovely terrace where one can enjoy the istanbul skyline and admire the Blue Mosque and have an enjoyable turkish breakfast. Will be back on our next visit
