Location is everything
Great location! Good restaurants surrounding hotel. Walking distance to the popular attractions. Hotel was comfortable—no frills, but very satisfactory. Also less than 3 minute walk to the trams which are the best way to get around the city.

Wonderful Location.
A great location to visit all the sites in the Old Town of Istanbul! The elevators were odd in the entry point for our rooms required going up a flight of stairs. The concierge was very helpful, especially as we didn’t speak Turkish.

Great location,5-star, fridge issue
The location was fantastic, terrace is lovely with authentic old style touch.
While most of the rooms do not offer a view, we often spend our time outdoors. The staff members are noce, and the breakfast is quite enjoyable. However, my primary concern revolves around the room's refrigerator, which, despite appearing to function, failed to cool properly. This resulted in the spoilage of my travel provisions, necessitating their disposal. Unfortunately, this matter seems to have been overlooked.

The staff at the hotel were excellent and friendly.
The location of the hotel is also amazing
But the pictures of the Standard Twin room on the website look better than the actual room, and I'll be honest, single beds were very uncomfortable to sleep on. Overvise, everything was great, including breakfast

Need to be a bit more accomodating. Had to wait 5 hours to get a room after a long flight.
Food in restaurant was good. Coffee not so much.
Good location.
Room and bathroom adequate. Pool too small and crowded for swimming. Internet slow.

Otel ve özellikle tüm çalışan ekip gerçekten olağanüstü. Kaldığım süre boyunca sanki çok özel misafirleriymişim gibi hizmet aldım. Hiç kimsenin yüzünün asık olduğunu bile görmedim. Özellikle resepsiyon da çalışan ve diğer arkadaşlara çok teşekkür ederim.
