The location of this hotel is perfect, located just steps away from a main shopping road. Galata tower is also only a 10 minute walk away with plenty of bars, restaurants, and cafes in between. Sinem was so lovely and helpful, giving many suggestions of where to visit and going above and beyond to give excellent hospitality. They were even able to set up a private transfer to and from the airport for a very fair price. This was a great stay for my first time in Istanbul!

Excellent value. Fabulous staff. Fun decor. Comfortable and clean rooms. A teeny bit shabby in places (bit of mould in shower, some damage to skirting boards but nothing major). Would totally recommend.

Our best stay in Istanbul

Newly built hotel in a quiet side street of Istiklal - the most vibrant part of Istanbul. Great design, comfortable clean rooms, perfect service. Special thanks go to the guy at the reception /I am sorry we missed to ask his name/, who met us, gave us all the information we needed and was always so kind whenever we met. He is a real treasure of the hotel, because you feel really welcome.
