Absolutely loved our stay here! The room was great and the staff was the best part of the whole experience. Ece is an absolutely amazing GM and really made our stay feel like a home away from home. They made my GF’s bday extra special the morning of and really set us up for a beautiful day.

Excellent stay in Istanbul - a beautiful small hotel tucked away but close to everything. Didn’t have an elevator but they helped keep all our luggage for us - service and staff were super helpful, great English and breakfast on rooftop with view was spectacular! Again hotel owner and staff were incredible with an early check and help with bags.

We booked the hotel in the last minute for one day to stay in Istanbul and we are glad to do so. Everything about the hotel was amazing. Great, clean rooms, Very close to tourist attractions Great breakfast on top of the hotel where we could see the Bosphorus. But the most important, The hotel staff, Amazing people! I have no words to describe the way they treated us. Thank you very much on behalf of my family.

The nicest staff I have ever dealt with. I noticed for myself one thing that the street the hotel is on doesn’t have many cars passing by so it’s pretty quite compare to other areas. All clean rooms and hotel itself. Great stay overall. Rooms a bit small but bathroom is good size. We didn’t stay in room for long so didn’t care much about the room size.

Beyond expectation

The experience was perfect, the staff is amazing. Special thank to Sultan for his attentions, Verdi for his willigness to help, Ali for his kind logistical arrangement and last but not least Afifa and the breakfast staff that were amazing. Mind you that they can prepare for you things like orange jus and omelette beyond what is presented in the buffet which have its value when you dont find you full classical.breakfast.
