    rooftop views
    helpful staff
    old fixtures

    I loved the stunning rooftop views of Istanbul from the terrace. That spot became my favorite for morning coffee. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the iconic Galata Tower. The staff provided helpful information about local attractions and even upgraded me to a better room. However, the bathroom fixtures were old and could use some renovations. The coffee machine in the breakfast area was out of order, which was disappointing. The room could have been cleaner upon arrival. Despite these issues, the warm atmosphere and welcoming hosts really made my stay enjoyable.

    breathtaking terrace
    unsettling atmosphere
    narrow streets

    Breathtaking rooftop terrace with stunning views.

    During my stay, I experienced some unsettling moments. The neighborhood felt slightly intimidating at night, which impacted my comfort level. Additionally, the narrow streets made it challenging for taxis to drop me off, and I often felt anxious navigating through the crowds.

    terrace views
    friendly staff
    complimentary tea
    taxi access issue

    Had a fantastic time with friends! The terrace views are simply amazing, especially during breakfast. We visited the Galata Tower and the historic Sultanahmet Mosque, which were both super close. The staff was friendly, and the complimentary tea and coffee at the reception were a nice touch.

    One downside was the taxi access. it was challenging to find a cab due to the narrow and crowded streets.

    amazing terrace

    Recommend it for families seeking cozy comfort

    The location is unbelievable, just a couple minutes from the main sights, and the terrace? A real highlight was the staff, super friendly and ready to help with anything I needed.

    It was a bit pricey, but still reasonable for what you get.

    strong wifi
    nice terrace

    It was just a good match for a brief retreat in Istanbul with definitely value for money. The wifi signal was surprisingly strong throughout the hotel, making it easy to stay connected. Try to enjoy the lovely terrace on the 6th floor for a nice view.
