Room is spacious and clean. Would be nice if the room curtains are wider as they don't block out fully. It's located in a vibrant street full of restaurants so it's convinent but not very quiet. They provide free use of sauna and a wonderful Turkish bath room, but you need to prepare your own tools to make the bubbles. Good communication, the staff response to messages quickly.

Positives were helpful staff, good breakfast, attractive bedroom. Negatives were cramped breakfast room and bathtub with nonworking jacuzzi that was difficult to get into. Also, though not the fault of the hotel, the transfer from the airport I ordered through the hotel was chaotic and not what I envisioned. A taxi would have been easier and probably cost the same or less.

Didn’t use the spa. Let me add this. Upon arrival, we were met by the desk manager. He made us feel as though we were his only guest. I’ve never quite experienced such concern for my welfare. The hotel itself, is an elegant, older building . It is perfectly cleaned and maintained. The desk manager’s level of concern for us was also displayed in every employee from the manager down to the cleaning lady! After our check out, the breakfast waiter offered to serve us coffee while we waited for our airport transport. When it arrived, he helped load our baggage! We really hated to leave!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
For the price, this is a GREAT hotel. It’s a 5 minute walk to sultanhmet square and a 5 minute walk to the Bosphorus river. It’s farther from the bridge, spice market and grand bazaar but still walkable (20-35 min walk). It’s down a cute cobblestone street with several restaurants, shops, and other hotels. The area is very safe and the room is clean. The hotel staff was excellent! They were all so helpful and answered all of my questions. The hotel also has a gym which I used one time. It’s very small with limited equipment (elliptical, bike, treadmill, bench, weights up to 10kg). It was not a great gym but the fact that the hotel even had a gym was a plus. The hotel also has a small yet nice balcony looking towards the river, which was unused every time I went up there. It was a great place to read and have some tea. Downsides: The room was spacious but it was older with some rusted areas in the bathroom. The bed and pillows were stiff and the comforter was kind of scratchy. The AC was in the main area with the tv so that area got super cold but the bedroom stayed warm (not hot though). Overall, I would stay here again for the price. The highlights were the staff and location - both made my stay worth it despite the downsides.

Hot

The room was nice, but either there was no AC, or it wasnt working because it was hot in the room. We had to open the windows to cool it down enough to sleep, but the problem was its right above a bar, so people were yelling until about 3am which made it very hard to sleep.
