    street noise

    What you’ll love and what you won’t

    Our balcony offered breathtaking views, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring. The friendly staff made our stay delightful, with a breakfast spread that was surprisingly varied and enjoyable!

    The air conditioning struggled to keep cool after a hot day of sightseeing. Additionally, the street noise crept in, making sleep a bit challenging at night.

    excellent location
    generous breakfast
    beautiful views
    cramped bathrooms

    Great location near the Karakoy waterfront and Galata Tower. Easy access to trams and metro for getting around Istanbul. The family room I stayed in had a lovely view of the waterfront, which was a highlight. Breakfast offered a generous selection of Turkish dishes and the staff, especially Mr Erdogan, were incredibly accommodating and friendly. However, the other rooms assigned were too cramped for our needs. The bathrooms felt impractical with very little privacy, which was disappointing. Wi-Fi connectivity was inconsistent, leading to some frustration during our stay.

    stunning rooftop views
    leaky bathroom

    Hidden gem with rooftop charm

    Waking up to the stunning views from the rooftop terrace was a daily highlight. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the breakfast featured an extensive spread, including local treats. I loved how the neighborhood buzzed with artistry, enhancing my overall experience.

    However, the bathroom had issues with leakage, and the room could have been better insulated for sound. The occasional street noise made a peaceful night elusive, but the charm of the place somewhat compensated.

    Loved the awesome location near Galata Tower and the cute staff! The rooftop views are a great bonus. Just a heads up, there was some street noise at night and the shower door leaked a bit.

    exceptional location

    The location is exceptional, with the hotel nestled in a picturesque area filled with stunning architecture. It is within walking distance of the Galata Tower, and the seaside of Karakoy is just a short stroll away. The staff took great care of me, providing local recommendations and keeping the room well-maintained with daily cleaning.

    unpleasant smell

    Had an amazing time with friends! We really enjoyed visiting the nearby nightclub for a thrilling Turkish show and the fantastic rooftop views. The hotel was beautifully designed, and the staff made us feel welcome. Definitely recommend exploring local galleries while you're here!

    Unfortunately, our first room had a strong smell coming from the bathroom area, which was really unpleasant.
