Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has some charming elements like beautiful old furniture and modern conveniences, but the rooms are a bit shabby. The service is thoughtful but inconsistent regarding breakfast timings. The location is excellent, close to many attractions. The dining experience has its ups and downs, with well-presented food but served in a basement setting.
Staying at the hotel was an exciting experience with its historical charm and great views over the Golden Horn. The rooms offer a mix of activity and tranquility, with some providing a small museum experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall pleasant stay. However, some noise disturbances could be a downside to consider.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms featuring lovely Hammam type showers and a peek-a-boo view of the Golden Horn from the balcony. The service was exceptional, especially from Guest Relations Manager Ebru and Concierge Evren E. The location was perfect for exploring Istanbul, just a short walk to Istiqlal and Galata areas. The dining experience was of a high standard, though the breakfast was a bit mediocre. Overall, a great choice for a business trip or leisure visit.
I couldn't resist exploring every corner of the hotel, from the exotic courtyard to the delightful afternoon tea experience at the Kubbeli Saloon Tea Lounge. The room, though adequate, lacked basic amenities like a clock. The location was superb for easy access to most attractions, just a short stroll to Istiqlal and Galata.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite comfortable and very clean, spacious, and with wonderful views of the city. However, the noise from the nightclubs facing the hotel was a downside.
I loved my stay at the hotel, especially for its cute small terraces to enjoy drinks and the modern conveniences offered. However, the blocked water drain in the room was a downside.
Staying at the hotel was like stepping into the heart of Istanbul's history and charm. The exotic courtyard, afternoon tea at the Kubbeli Saloon Tea Lounge, and small terraces offering picturesque views of the neighborhood made the stay memorable. The rooms, though smaller than expected, were cozy and inviting.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were beyond comfortable, and the charming view from the balcony added to the old world luxurious feel. However, the museum aspect may not appeal to everyone. The service was terrific, with attentive and friendly staff all around. The location is excellent, offering both sides of the Golden Horn to explore, but there was noise from loud music until late. The dining experience offered a fantastic blend of eastern and western foods at a great value. The facilities were top-notch, adding to the overall luxurious feel of the stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely, with a nice balcony and lounge area, but not entirely soundproof. The sweet items in the bathroom were a delightful touch. The service was a mix of professionalism and some minor mood issues. The location was excellent, with easy access to various attractions and surrounded by vibrant neighborhoods. The dining experience was top-notch, especially the selection of pastries and Turkish specialties. The facilities were well-equipped and maintained.
The hotel is located in a bustling area filled with bars and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and elegantly furnished, providing ample space for a comfortable stay. The service is truly attentive and reliable. However, some housekeeping issues were encountered in the bathroom and rooms. The dining experience is excellent but may seem quite pricey. The location is hard to beat for access to good restaurants, shops, museums, and transit options.
