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.

Quaint spot near food and shopping. I would stay a

Checkin was quick. Staff was very helpful. I stayed only one night. They checked on my stay via WhatsApp even with such a short stay. A little hard to find for my taxi driver. Quaint, small, but it seems like most are this way because of the way the buildings are built. Spacious enough for one or two people (stayed in a single room). I'd stay here again. Has a spa but i had no time to check it out. Not sure that they have room service because when I asked, they directed me to the restaurant next door which was only feet away. 5 min walking distance to this great street with so many shops and restaurants. Great little spot.
