Hotel is opposite a pray bell tower (5.30am wake ups) and the curtains don’t block out all the light.

Lovely staff, clean room, great location.

The breakfast is quite poor to be honest, hope they can improve on this

The staff are excellent, they are very warm and welcoming. You can’t beat the location, right next to the tram station which can take you everywhere in minutes, the area is very lively and not so touristy with a mall, and plenty of bars and restaurants. The room is clean and cozy

The bar lacks a bit of atmosphere, the spa and gym probably are due a renovation. Some of the property is starting to show a bit of wear and tear. The staff could have provided a bit more local guidance or places to go etc.

Well designed hotel in the trendy area of Karaköy. The staff were really helpful. The bedroom and bathroom was really luxury with views over Karakoy. The spa facilities and gym are also pretty good for a city stay.

Breakfast was solid. The tea was excellent, but the coffee left a lot to be desired—we actually asked for instant coffee instead. There were quite a few items on the buffet that no one seemed to touch. They could probably simplify the spread without losing quality. The hotel itself is quite old. According to one of the staff, it was renovated three years ago, but honestly, that wasn’t very apparent. Maybe some rooms got a facelift, but the overall feel didn’t reflect a recent renovation. The hallways were painted in dark colors and lit by motion sensors, which made them feel gloomy and a bit eerie. Not my favorite vibe. We also had a few maintenance issues—our in-room coffee maker broke and was never replaced. Small things like that added up and gave the impression that the hotel might be operating on a tight budget.

We stayed in early July and had a pleasant experience. First off, the staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive. You really can’t ask for better service. Our room was clean and comfortable, with both AC and a fan that kept things cool. I do wonder how well it holds up in the hotter August weather. The location is excellent—walking distance to plenty of restaurants and local spots. A word of caution: the lower-priced rooms are very small, and the windows face interior walls, which makes them feel a bit claustrophobic. We ended up switching to an upgraded room and paid about 50% more. If you're booking, I’d recommend going straight for the upgraded option—it’s worth it.

When we first got there, we were not sure about the location of the place. However, once we explored, we quickly discovered that it was perfectly located to everything. The tram station is right outside like a 2-minute walk away. It has an entire block of restaurants and bars literally across the street. We found it so convenient for us, really. It's definitely a must book. It's close enough to everything one would want to be around. Next time we are in Istanbul we will definitely book this place. The room had great aircon which was needed as outside was really hot. Room has everything we needed. We didnt spent much time in the room anyways as we were always out and about. They also have a lovely rooftop restaurant with great views of the city.

The room was £147 per night and was very spacious, but could have been slightly less basic for this price.

The location was great, next to 2 tram stations and close to a the lively neighbourhood of Karakoy which has lots of bars and restaurants, and a short walk to Gelataport which was fab. The staff were super friendly, had great local knowledge and cleaning service was great. Also included a basic gym and spa.

Small double bed - it was only 130 cm wide. Our fault - we didn’t check it when making the reservation.

Design of the lobby, rich and delicious Turkish breakfast on the rooftop terrace, spa facilities, proximity to all main attractions and local trendy spots, helpful staff

The only shortcoming was our double bed which was only 130 sm wide! It’s worth checking it before booking a room (our mistake!).

It’s not so easy to find a hotel with nice design and an affordable price-quality relation in Istanbul. This one is rather an exception. It’s conveniently located - not far away from Galata Tower and a few meters away from Galataport and Istanbul Modern (partner of the hotel, so you will get free entrance tickets upon arrival). Rich breakfast - I consider Turkish breakfasts the best in the world!

Personal preference - our bed wasn't as comfortable as we would have liked.

Location, staff and breakfast were great! The style of the hotel is beautiful and it always smells nice.

Some rooms, economy and standard rooms are small and dark. Your best value for money are the deluxe rooms

Very nice staff, friendly and helpful. Deluxe rooms are very bright and comfortable. Location is good, lots of restaurants nearby and close to Tram, walking distance to Galata tower and Bridge

They had a huge balcony and breakfast area on the roof, also what appears to be an old bar. We thought there was a bar upstairs but when we went it looked like it was under renovation or just forgotten. When we went to watch sunset, as we didn’t have much time to go anywhere else that day, staff came to tell us we had to leave because it was closed. However, why can we not watch sunset in an open area on the roof? Who are we hurting? They even Iocked the breakfast area with chairs and tables. Why? They are wasting such a great opportunity as they have a rooftop and it’s almost rude that they would rather have the roof empty then let us sit and watch the sunset. In my opinion, if you aren’t going to have a bar at least open the breakfast rooftop area during the day and evening for people to hangout and watch the view. Why close it? It seems petty and was the only negative experience, if there was somewhere to watch the sunset then my review would be 10/10.

Amazing lobby, great room and very clean. Staff were very welcoming and gave us a special request to have a coffee machine. Loved the area and for the price, everything was great.

I wasn’t a fan of the red light in the elevator,thought it was a bit weird.The room I was in had everything I needed however just the shower was a bit small for me and the water kept going through the door seal that it wet the floor.

Public transport was a 2min walk,little convenience store 2min walk and Galata Tower 10min walk.Great location! Upon arrival I loved the styling and decor of the place and the staff were very accommodating,lovely and helpful.After travelling for 22 hours and arriving so early in the morning the staff were awesome in finding a clean and available room for an early check in.Very grateful

Aircon was locked on 21° so the room was quite hot. Room was also very small (couldn’t fit 2 suitcases in there) and no mini fridge to keep water cold

Hotel was great. In an excellent location and great amenities.

Not at all maintained, the toilet seats looked like they’d been through a way all scratched up and color coming off, who puts wood paneling in the shower???? Gross esp considering it was coming off the walll

Looks like it used to be a cool hotel, some well curated open spaces off the lobby

I didnt like the street were the hotel was located. Hotel needs refurbishment, it doesnt look like a 4 star hotel. Breakfast wasn't amazing either.

The ground floor of the hotel looked amazing, the staff was nice and helpfull.

The hotel shows some signs of wear and tear. The floor boards just in front of the bathroom were coming up (apparently some water damage) and there were tears in the wallpaper in the room. For us these were minor issues, especially since the room was clean.

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel. We had a balcony room with sea view on the seventh floor. There is only a partial sea view but it was still nice. The room had floor to ceiling sliding doors with access to the (small) balcony. The room was much nicer than we had expected, it was lovely to just sit there and look out through the large windows drinking a complementary cup of Nespresso. The room was spacious as was the bathroom with a good shower (although the green tiles in the bathroom seem a bit outdated). We did not include breakfast in our booking but we did try the breakfast on our last day. It was reasonable but I much more enjoyed trying one of the many breakfast places that were in the Karakoy neighborhood. However, the view from the breakfast area (9th floor) is great (sea view on one side and Galata tower on the other side). Karakoy is a very nice and lively area and you're very close to Galata Port as well. We enjoyed staying at this hotel!
