    rooftop restaurant with stunning views, unique historical elements throughout the hotel, charming lobby with welcoming ambiance

    The air conditioning struggles to keep rooms comfortably cool, and the noise from thin walls can ruin a good night's sleep!!! The gym area cleanliness definitely needs immediate attention!!!

    the deluxe king room was super comfortable and clean. the hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the galata tower. What truly stood out was the staff's hospitality. they were always polite and happy to help with dining options. also, the pool bar was a perfect spot to chill and enjoy refreshing drinks.

    rooftop views
    dirty facilities
    indifferent staff

    Stunning rooftop views enhance your stay.

    My experience at this hotel was far from satisfactory. The cleanliness in the gym and spa area was disappointing. I found hair in the drains and dirty towels left unattended. Additionally, the staff in the gym area seemed indifferent, as they were more focused on their phones than assisting guests. For the premium prices charged, I expected far better attention to detail and a more hygienic environment.

    rooftop bar
    cramped space
    bathroom odor
    street noise

    I stayed at this delightful boutique hotel and simply loved it. The ambiance is classy and welcoming. The location is perfect, just a short walk to major attractions. The breakfast selection impressed me. everything was fresh and high quality. I really appreciated the live music during breakfast – such a lovely touch! The staff were genuinely helpful and attentive, ensuring everything felt effortless during my stay. The rooftop bar offers amazing views, perfect for watching the sunset. However, there were some issues. The bathroom had a bit of an unpleasant smell that occasionally disrupted my comfort. Also, the room size felt a bit cramped for two, especially when trying to move around. Lastly, the noise from the street could be a problem at times, which interrupted my relaxation. Despite these minor inconveniences, I found the overall experience quite enjoyable.
