Overall hotel was nice clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful but some front desk staff were little forceful on offering excursions and private taxi service in €uro which was a LOT more expensive than paying in Lira and didn’t like it when i declined the offer. Housekeeping and breakfast staff were Amazing. However VERY disappointed with the fact there was no mention on expdia that there is NO LIFT in the property. It was difficult to climb up and down 2 floors for me as a person with mobility issues.

Great boutique hotel. Walking distance to many attractions in İstanbul. The staff is awesome and friendly. There is a private shuttle to and back to an awesome fish and meat restaurant called Yildizlar Restaurant. I recommend going there to experience Bosphorus dining. The free breakfast served at the terrace on the roof is cherry on top. Not all hotels in the area offer that. The view is beautiful and Yurkish breakfast items are fantastic. Hard on cars, but they have parking compared to many other hotels. Taxi service is available. Don't be scared of the two-way hill-y roads where one car barely fits, but they find a way to make it work although sometimes one car has to back out. Easy access to restaurants of the area and convenient stores. You can safely walk out at night as the cafes and restaurants stay open till 4 am We would go back there if we ever visit the area again.

The hotel itself was fine...few things i feel it wasnt up to .. the stairs are very narrow and steep....very scary to go up and down and with a suitcase its even worse. The mattresses definately need replacing as the metal springs poke through when you lying down. Breakfast i not very international and only local teas available.....staff was friendly.

Loved the roof top deck with great breakfast and views. Staff was delightful and always willing to help. Location was great. I would recommend the owner stay away from the property and allow his staff to do their great work. He was surly and rude to both customers and his employees

Terrific hotel & location!

Excellent long term stay in very clean and new 2br condo with kitchen for our family! Hadir is a great friendly owner that made us very welcome as he is always available, professional and knowledgeable and so is his attentive staff. Nice breakfast was included and served on the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. Safe and quiet location is superb with Hagia Sofia and sites in easy 5 mins walking distance. Also Sultanahmet tram is right there just in case for easy access to anywhere. Would definitely stay here again.

The only thing that was nice about this hotel is that when you climb upstairs in a 6 to 7 floor spiral stair case you come to the top of the roof and you get to see the ocean view from far, I would have to say it also had a good sea air breeze. The things that I disliked about this hotel was that there was no elevators so this place is definitely not the spot for handicapped people. Every room is 3 or more stories high so you have to take all these stairs to reach your room carrying your luggage. The stairs are steep on framed with marble flooring so any slip can send you to a major injury or your death bed! The rooms are not the cleanest and accommodations are not so fulfilling. I really would not recommend this place for a stay. This hotel or should I call hostel is placed in rubbish and run down area.

Avoid this so called hotel

Photos are so misleading! It’s in a ruined alley and it’s an old building turned into a something that they call a hotel. Felt so bad when I got there. It was too late to cancel. No elevators and steps are so narrow; so good luck taking your luggage up 4 floors. It should have never got the certification of operating as a hotel to begin with. They advertise as free parking to come up on search tools, but there is no parking. It’s street parking! Very very overpriced. With the same price you can get an actual hotel not this sham. In one word; AVOID

Insects in room We ordered 2 rooms and they told us they didnt have 2 rooms so we stayed with 4 people in 1 room. Terrible location it was like a ghetto or something. We saw the photos of the skyline on internet so we go to the upper floor and saw litterly only buildings and no skyline or the sea. We went sick after de first night. When we ordered food the deliveries said also what this place is and they said also i wouldnt even stay here for 10minutes. The lession for me is i will pay 100 euros more per person for a better hotel if they offer me free room i dont go there again!

Good points are the views from terrace, when having breakfast. Breakfast was very good, although its the same items every single day. The location was excellent but its in a very run down area. We had 2 very tiny rooms next door to the actual hotel, i got 3 kids it felt over-crowding. Staff tried their best. They need to modernise it.
