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

My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond—always friendly, attentive, and eager to help. The location couldn’t be better, with all the major tourist attractions just a short walk away. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Great location and walkable, very accessible to the nearest train station going to the City Centre Europe side of Istanbul, near to shopping centres and bazaars.

Good location, room and food not so much.
We booked this hotel on the recommendation of a friend who was just there a few months ago. He was spot on: the location is great for walking to major sites, rooftop view is amazing, but room is small and food not so good. It's not a modern, contemporary hotel. It's older but not really quaint. Staff was indifferent.

Excellent Services
People in the hotel, including front desk receptionists, house keepers and its restaurant waiters, are all friendly, nice and accessible. We checked out at 3 am and surprised to find the receptionist and concierge were there. The concierge even accompanied us to the Uber taxi that we reserved earlier. We felt we were protected.

Paid for Deluxe Sea View, got building and treees
I booked a Deluxe Sea View Room. What I got was a room with a view of a pink building and lots of tree branches. Through the branches you could see no more than 10% of the “ocean view.”
