    rooftop views
    helpful staff
    old fixtures

    I loved the fine rooftop views of Istanbul from the terrace. That spot became my favorite for morning coffee. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the iconic Galata Tower. The staff provided helpful information about local attractions and even upgraded me to a better room. The coffee machine in the breakfast area was out of order, disappointing. The room could have been cleaner upon arrival. Despite these issues, the warm atmosphere and cute hosts were good.

    A stylish hotel, my first choice in Istanbul. Ideal base for 4 nights with excellent and fabulously friendly staff with their service. Plenty of good food. Good location near Galata Tower. Nestled near restaurants and cafes. Near a tube station...

    amazing terrace
    unsettling atmosphere
    narrow streets

    Amazing rooftop terrace with fine views.

    I experienced some unsettling moments. The neighborhood felt slightly intimidating at night, which impacted my comfort level. The narrow streets made it challenging for taxis to drop me off, and I often felt anxious navigating through the crowds.

    Thank you for a really great stay. The venue is incredible, clean and the location is marvellous not far from all historical places which are GALATA TOWER, SPICE BAZAR, GRAND BAZAR, TOPKAPI PALACE, HAJI SOFIA, the center of Istanbul, and which is a very good location. The a double room is bright and tidy. Helpful service, the breakfast is really tasty. Besides, it offers very good wifi to guests.

    terrace views
    friendly staff
    complimentary tea
    taxi access issue

    The terrace views are amazing, especially during breakfast. We visited the Galata Tower and the historic Sultanahmet Mosque, both super close. The staff was friendly, and the complimentary tea and coffee at the reception were a nice touch.

    One downside was the taxi access. It was challenging to find a cab due to the narrow and crowded streets.

    terrace view

    It was just a solid selection for a lightning stop in Istanbul with very good value for money. The view from the terrace was a great surprise and a nice way to start the day. Make sure to take advantage of the terrace for fine views.

    amazing terrace

    Recommend it for families seeking cozy comfort

    The location is unbelievable, just a couple minutes from the main sights, and the terrace? A real highlight was the staff, super friendly and ready to help with anything I needed.

    It was a bit pricey, but still reasonable for what you get.

    The rooftop terrace with fine views and the cleanliness of the rooms exceeded my expectations. It was an ideal retreat close to galata tower.

    strong wifi
    nice terrace

    It was just a good match for a brief retreat in Istanbul with definitely value for money. The wifi signal was surprisingly strong throughout the hotel, making it easy to stay connected. Try to enjoy the lovely terrace on the 6th floor for a nice view.
