I stayed two nights at this property. The first one I paid for and the second one was part of a tour I signed up for. The room's AC shut off every few hours, so I woke up every few hours drench in sweat. My 2nd night/morning there was no Wifi or hot water. Breakfast was included in the rate and I felt like I was stealing the breakfast every time I got up to get something. (BTW they had no juice. Their orange juice was similar to Tang.) The 2nd morning our tour director asked them to serve breakfast at 6:30 bc we had to leave at 7 and there were only olives until almost 7am. I left hungry. The front desk staff was always outside smoking so when I needed something (checking in, had a question, etc.) they made it clear they were displeased with me interrupting their smoking break. When I asked how and where I could purchase a tram card, they insisted on calling me a taxi, and would not help me with my request. When a man in my tour asked the same question, they were more than happy to assist him. Overall, I was ok paying as much as I did for this hotel bc the reviews were decent, but after being treated the way I was, no hot water, no wifi, ac that kept shutting off, and being made to feel guilty for eating the breakfast I paid for and not having a breakfast I paid for, I am very comfortable in giving this hotel a bad review. And for the record, I waited a month to write this so I could be more objective and not as angry.

This hotel has an excellent breakfast buffet. I stayed in several hotels in Turkey, and this buffet was definitely the best. The location is on the side of a pretty steep hill. Taxis find it difficult to get there and tend to drop you off a couple blocks away and point in the direction of the hotel. But if you can manage to take the trams, which are pretty good, you can take the tram across the Gallata Bridge and walk up the hill a couple of blocks and get to the hotel pretty easily. If you want to stay in the area near Istiklal Street, this hotel is probably a good option. You just need to walk up the hill a few blocks, as the Gallata Tower is right up the hill. Because the hotel is on a side street, it's pretty quiet. The AC works well, and the beds are good.

All was good except for the temperature. The room was too hot and there was no way to cool it down, as I had a room without a window. The reception was no help and said the central system was locked to heating. Other than that discomfort everything was fine.

Un hôtel terrible .. ainsi que les personnels .. vraiment une déception cet hôtel.. je ne le recommande pas .. des personnels qui ne sont pas du tout professionnels surtout celui qui reçoit les commandes .. j'ai commandé deux pizza.. il m'a demandé ×4 son prix .. le réceptionniste de nuit a refusé de nous prêter l'aspirateur pout aspirer les sacs de rangements en plastic que j'avais vraiment besoin car j'avais un extra bagage et j'ai finit par payer à l'aéroport.. ils ne sont ni à l'ecoute ni serviables..

good place to stay
Very good location closed to Galata Tower and Golden Horn feries. Tramway to Topkapı is 5 minutes walking distance. Very good buffet breakfast and lovely terrace overlooking city. Friendly stuff, taxi to Istanbul International Airport is 170 liras. Rooms a little small and sometimes without a windows if you reserve standard room.

The overall stay was good. The hotel is well located near tram, buses and easy access to landmarks. The only problem we had, was the wifi connection. It was slow and also every night from around 11pm to 5am there was no internet.

I did like the location. It was the best part. We were in a room that did not have a window and their AC did not work. I woke up several times from being too hot. The staff was very friendly but I asked to get a map and they said I could take a picture of the only map they had. I expected more from a 4 star

Ideal location with clean and comfort in mind
The hotel's location is in an ideal part of Istanbul close to the metro station and in close proximity to lively nighttime hang out spots like Galata Tower and Taksim Square. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating to our requests. The hotel is nicely maintained and clean.

The rooms have no windows at all, it is completely dark when you turn the lights off, the rooms are too small, the service wasn't too nice, i asked for water where i was so tursty and they said ok then nobody came. Over all i do not recommend it for even single night.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in
The air conditioner in the room only had hot air so we couldn't sleep and was sweating all night. The room which was an "economic room" didn't have a window (wasn't mentioned before) so we couldn't get air from outside since the a/c didn't cool the room. The shower kept switching from hot to cold water every 5 seconds.

Nice hotel. Clean comfortable rooms. We choose a standard room with window. There is no view though except to a building under constructions. Breakfast was ok - nothing wow. Hotel staff were friendly. Hotel is on a hill with little side road on a hill is only access. In and out with luggage is an issue but hotel staff were very helpful.

My recent experience
The exceptional service and support from the staff makes you feel warm and welcome. A big thank you to the sales manager Bora who helped us throughout our stay amongst other staff when Expedia let us down for their poor service. I would definitely recommend this hotel as it is modern and local to all the top tourist sites, as well as being close to the local trams and transport services.
