Our room was comfortable and spacious. The terrace was clean with a nice view of the sea. The breakfast was fantastic with great views of the city and the sea from the dining area. If we ever get back to Istanbul, this is the place we will pick.

10/10 Exceptional

The reception area was nothing more than a desk in the small lobby but the service was exceptional and all of the staff were super friendly. We had their largest terrace room with an enormous jacuzzi tub and the room as well as the terrace were spectacular. I would highly recommend this property, especially if you are looking for something other than a giant chain type hotel.

Location was perfect - within steps of Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi palace. Yet, was on a quiet street so felt peaceful. Rooms were cozy, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and very vegetarian friendly. The views from breakfast room and rooftop terrace were gorgeous! Do not miss! Only wish the breakfast started earlier than 8am so we could eat breakfast and go beat the crowds at Hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace. Definitely would recommend and would return here if we came back to Istanbul.
