Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right in the heart of the old town with easy access to all the tourist sites. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service at the reception desk was top-notch. However, the weak air conditioning on the terrace was a bit of a downside even with the windows open. The dining experience with a perfect view of the Bosphorus was unforgettable.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few drawbacks. The location was fantastic, situated in the old part of town with stunning views of the Bosphorus from the terrace. The rooms were comfortable, but the weak air conditioning was a downside. The service was attentive, though some extra amenities required an additional cost. Dining with a view of the Bosphorus was memorable, but the loud music was a bit too much at times.
The hotel offers stunning views overlooking the Bosphorus from the terrace but lacks a proper bathroom, providing a somewhat mixed experience. The service is convenient with various essential amenities; however, the paid shuttle service may impact the overall value for money. Located in the heart of Istanbul, it provides easy access to transportation but is very near to the Blue Mosque, making it a bit noisy at times.
The hotel offers stunning views of the Bosphorus from their terrace, but the air conditioning in the room was too weak. I appreciated the privacy provided by the layout of the beds on the terrace.
