    The only thing which was very strange and what in my opinion they should stop doing- charging for the espresso/cappuccino cup at the breakfast table...

    Perfect hotel with perfect location, friendly staff, great rooftop bar!!!

    High ROI 5-star hotel near the Galata Tower
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior King Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Perhaps due to the age of the building, we found the sink in the bathroom somewhat clogged. Contacted the front desk for repair but it didn't get addressed throughout our 3-day stay.

    Location is great and the primary reason why we chose this hotel. It is within walking distance to the Galata Tower district, Galataport Promenade, as well as the old city (across the Golden Horn). The location also makes it easy to experience the local life -- there is a local supermarket as well as plenty of eateries right next to the hotel. We had a chance to taste the real Turkish breakfast instead of eating European/westernized food inside the hotel. The hotel is an old building with decent remodeling and decoration. Rooms feel spacious and quiet.

    Simply nothing to dislike here.

    Excellent location with outstanding views, both from roof terrace and room. Top quality beds. Highly professional staff and exquisite service. In total a most elegant and luxurious boutique hotel. Would definitely recommend.

    Beds are a bit firm. Shower caps are so tiny, can’t imagine who they would fit. Breakfast service is slow and can take a while to get attention of staff, but food is decent.

    Room and hotel are beautiful and very stylish.

    Missing the service of taxis nearby the hotel

    The hotel and the room were nicely decorated with soft lighting very comfortable and the service was excellent. The bar on the roof top was very enjoyable with a beautiful view on Topkapi and the Sofia mosque. The restaurant was also of very good quality.

    Nothing, it was a superb stay!

    The welcome on arrival was just perfect, the front of house team are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them, a real asset to the hotel! Bedroom was beautiful if slightly small, however we had a great view of the Bosphorus. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the room felt very luxurious. Breakfast, again very tasty and plentiful, good produce and lovley staff too. The roof top bar is superb, now the team up here were amazing, funny, friendly and always made an effort. The views are simply stunning so it's well worth booking a table and watching the sunset. The location is great, very central with the old town just across the bridge. I would definitely book again.

    The bed was a little uncomfortable. Too hard. The only thing that stopped me from giving this hotel a 10.

    Room decor, cleanliness and staff were great. Breakfast was very good. Nice selection. The welcome selection was a nice touch in the room (chocolates, etc). Room amenities were of nice quality.

    The electrical system in the room took some getting used to. It was so small and some of the controls were in hard to see locations.

    First and foremost, the staff at the front desk was terrific! By the time we left, we felt like they were old friends. They were extremely helpful and attentive, and very professional. That said, each of them had a great (and appropriate) sense of humor, which made us feel very much at home. Hope they get a bonus or raises! Other staff were good as well, with only one or two exceptions. And the room was beautiful and comfortable. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffett and especially the rooftop bar and restaurant.
