Andreeva NataliaWonderful location. It's tough with luggage going up and down the stairs, so a transfer is definitely needed. The view from the restaurant terrace is stunning, especially in the evening. We booked this hotel specifically for that view. The pool is small, and a swim cap is mandatory; you'll have to buy one if you don't have one. I wasn't a fan of the massage; it was given by a man, and the price was steep. The sauna and hammam were a nice bonus. The pillows and bed were very comfortable – perfect for relaxing after a day of walking around. Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommend!

The hotel's location is a bit far from the Old Town, and the room was on the small side. However, it was very clean and provided disposable slippers. They offer free parking and the breakfast is purely Western, with limited variety but enough to fill you up. The price isn't particularly cheap.

Anonymous UserChoosing to stay at this hotel was the best decision – we didn't have to worry about a thing during our vacation!
The staff were friendly and polite, always ready to help with any questions. The breakfasts were good and varied, and every morning we were greeted by the most radiant woman (I didn't catch her name)!
We had a ground floor room with no view, but that actually turned out to be better. We had a small garden view with a terrace and a table. It was very quiet and cozy. The room itself was small and elongated, but for an old city, this is more than normal. It was well renovated, everything was beautiful and tastefully done, with plenty of storage for clothes and toiletries. It was just like the photos. There were many lighting options. All the bath amenities were in the room, but they weren't refilled. Towels were changed daily. The soap and shampoo had a wonderful aroma. All the cosmetics seemed to be of high quality.
The only thing that might bother some is the glass door to the bathroom. It's opaque, but silhouettes are still clearly visible. However, this wasn't an issue for us.
Overall, everything was plentiful, and they went out of their way to help us, even allowing us to check in early upon arrival. A big thank you for an excellent and hassle-free stay!

Stayed here for 7 nights in a Superior golden horn king size room and found our experience to be okay.
I am a bit divided on how to write this review, since we had a good stay but with soo many minor ”things”.
When my partner arrived at check in time, the room wasn't ready. He waited about 45min longer before he was able to check in.
• The room:
Upon checking in we noticed that the doorlock was busted and asked reception to fix this. (This was very quickly repaired after asking)
The handsoap wasn't refilled between guests, we had to mention this to reception.
We noticed that they clean the bathroom with a substance that leaves greasy marks, so even though your bathroom is ”cleaned”, it doesn't always look like it.
The tiny mirror and the hairdryer socket flap were both dirty after checking in and not cleaned in any of the days that we were there.
The shower glass isn't extended too far, so be prepared that when you shower the floor will get quite wet.
Housekeeping doesn't restock any teas during a 7day stay. If you fancy something that you've finished, you need to ask reception to stock it again. They did restock our water every day though, so I'm not sure why they'd only do it halfway.
The bathroom door isn't actually a solid door but two halves. Which is okay, but if you don't like to hear your partner in the bathroom or on the toilet- you might have an issue with this.
The room had 1/2 a view of the elevator, the other half was of the river, the bridge and the mosques. (View was decent)
Maybe the most important lack of this room: the matrass. There is nothing actually wrong with the bed itself besides the mattress splitting in half at times. However the mattress itself is past its due date. It had such a hole in the middle of too many people having slept in it. It was quite hard to sometimes get comfortabele since you aren't well aligned, it ended up giving me a little neck ache.
• The location:
The location of this hotel is great. You are near the Galata area and tower, you can easily walk down towards the water and bridge (both sides). And there is plenty to see and do within a 30min walk- area.
The hotel is located semi at the bottom of the hill. If you fancy getting to Galata tower, be prepared for a steep- but beautiful walk up.
Plenty of good restaurants near this hotel or only a short taxi drive away.
• The service
Reception as well as the waitstaff are lovely. If there is anything- they'll fix it for you. They are always willing to help and they get it sorted as quickly as they can.
• The buffet
The majority of the photo's I'm posting with this review will be of the buffet. I've noticed that there arent many photos online of it and I think it could be a selling point for foreigners to choose this hotel.
They have a range of pastries and breads every morning. Boiled eggs and a selection of warm dishes. They have their salad and fruit bar with yoghurts available. And their cheeses and meats to fit any dish. They have an egg service where you can order eggs to your liking with table service. They also provide coffees as per table service too.
Service during breakfast hours is lovely and they try to memorise your orders. We noticed a (relatively new to Hospitality) Turkish guy working there, and he always made us feel welcomed. Even though we doesn't speak a word of English.
Reason for me finding it difficult to write this review is:
The standard in Turkey is a bit older than in other places in the world. I feel like we paid a significant amount of money for this room, but got outdated quality? I wouldn't say this is a 5 star hotel, not even 4 stars to be honest. However, for the quality standard in Turkey I do believe that this considered to be a good hotel.
We enjoyed our stay here, but aren't necessarily too sure it is priced accordingly to it's quality. I'm giving it 4 stars due to the location and the service, but am not convinced it's fully worth the price you pay.

BV SergeiA nice small hotel with all amenities, and timely cleaning. The cafe offers a stunning view of the sea and the strait. Cormorants and crows are always a delight to see, waiting for guests to arrive for breakfast. The location is very convenient, close to the metro, ferry crossings, and Bosphorus tours. Airport transfer can also be arranged. Special thanks to the staff for their hospitality.

Anonymous UserVery outdated hotel - the interior felt eerie. We stayed in a non-smoking room that smelled like smoke at night. Our shower drain was clogged and would flood (this was fixed however it is not expected of any hotel, let alone a 5 star). Gym was small and equipment is old. Sauna wasn’t working properly - not hot enough. However, staff were friendly and welcoming, and hotel location was convenient if you want to take the tram to tourist sites or walk around the shops, restaurants, etc.
Overall, I don’t think this is a 5 star hotel. I would not stay there again or recommend it to anyone looking for a 5 star hotel.

Guest UserGreat location in the historic district, everything is within walking distance! Very polite reception staff: Gilfidan, Imamcan, Umut. We especially liked one lady whose name we didn't catch! Delicious breakfast with several types of cheese, omelets, boiled eggs, a large selection of fruits, vegetables – everything was tasty, including the pastries! The rooms are small. Our air conditioning wasn't working; we asked them to fix it, and it seemed to work for a bit, but then broke down again at night. Get a room with a balcony, otherwise, your clothes won't dry in the room. Other than that, everything was great! There are inexpensive restaurants nearby!

Anonymous UserThe room was nice, but there's a mosque nearby, so it got a bit noisy in the mornings. The breakfast was really bad, but the hygiene and environment were decent. The main issue was that many of the staff didn't speak English, which made communication difficult.
