  : Great location close to attractions. The staff was friendly.
  : We asked for a quiet room - unfortunately, we got a room on the tram side of the building which kept us awake. On the 2nd night, we were awoken around 12:40 am by the staff knocking on our door multiple times. They had the wrong room :-( On the 3rd night, we were kept awake by noise from the other guest rooms. We found out later that they had a very early flight to catch and stayed up very late and then got up very early to leave. The rooms are not very soundproof. On the 4th night, around 12:10 am the electricity went off and on, followed by a loud noise in the hallway for a little while. Again, our rest was interrupted and we found it hard to get back to sleep. The rooms are small. A basic requirement is to get a good night's sleep - we just didn't get it for the nights we were there causing us to be tired during the days. The staff and manager were great - unfortunately, the issues are going to be hard to fix I suspect. We specifically chose this hotel as the ratings were good - we wish we hadn't.

Very Good

  : Quite comfortable hotel - very close to all landmarks - really in center of Istambul
  : Street is closed for traffic, so you have to walk to taxi. Loudly area. Not cheap.

  : My wife and I stayed here for three nights. Immediately upon arriving, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. After checking in, they also let us know that we could book activities (boat ride, tours etc.) through the front desk - which we ended up doing. We hadn't booked some activities prior to arriving as they were vastly more expensive online. However if you book through the front desk you are often provided a much better rate, including transportation to/from said activity. Bear in mind that when booking activities this way, you are given the option to pay in either Euros or Turkish Liras. The hotel also has a money exchange counter which was super helpful, providing very good (but not the best) rates. Both the room and bathroom were really clean, with bottles of water provided as standard. Breakfast was provided and slightly varied every day. On our final night, we were also provided with complimentary plate of fruit. The hotel is situated in the perfect location (for us at least) as we were one minute away form a tram stop and had various markets and numerous cafes/restaurants within a minute's walk. It is also located within walking distance to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi palace.
  : Rooms were not soundproofed and thus we could hear other hotel guests coughing or having conversations. Whilst this wasn't too bad for us, it may affect others' decisions regarding this hotel. This is also something to consider if you choose to book a room with a balcony, as there are trams on the main road that go past quite frequently.
