Cute room, friendly stuff, good area.. The room was cute, cozy, and clean. The staff was very helpful and kind! It's in a good area because it's 2 minutes from instiklal and 5-10 minutes from the galata tower.. The only disadvantage is that it was a little bit noisy and one night there was a strong smell of smoke from outside..

A hotel in the heart of Taksim, would come back. Everything was really nice, cool decor of the room. Amazing water pressure, all clean.. I would suggest to fix the door as the cold was getting in since the door was not ermetic. Also the pillows were too hard for me, but this could be my taste only. Everything else was perfect..

Good value for money. One of the best options around Pera. As a Marriott Bonvoy ambassador and hotel owner myself, I’m always keen to check out as many hotels as possible in a new area to get some new ideas for my own business. In this case, I stayed in Istanbul for 16 days and was keen to find a “boutique” style hotel around the Pera area. This was the only hotel I stayed at twice as it was my favourite. The hotel is located down a narrow alleyway, and doubles as a wine bar/restaurant - seems to be a very popular one too because on both days, it was full (with cultured clientele) until past midnight. There are 10 tables on the street and a few inside. The host Serhat was well dressed, very professional, very polite and had knowledge of English. The drinks and the food were very nice. Top marks overall. The room itself was well proportioned, clean, with fresh towels, basic toiletries, large TV (not smart) kettle, tea/coffee sachets and bottled water. The temperature was automatic and I never had to adjust it. They also offered a laundry service which I didn’t use but it was very reasonably priced. The staff were all very friendly and happy to help. Overall I really enjoyed this hotel, and I had a better time here than DeCamondo and Casa Foscolo (both Marriott brands) at a fraction of the price.. Some things to improve but which are not deal breakers; First, the room you book in the photos is not necessarily the room which you’ll be given. For example I booked the “junior suite” which is shown with a small balcony and street view, but on both occasions I was told it was not available and given other rooms facing the courtyard and no balcony. The furniture and layout was still pretty much the same, but still not the same room as expected, these rooms were also very dark, even on a bright and sunny day. There is no breakfast in the morning as the restaurant inside doesn’t open until 13:00 (so I was told) I dealt with 3 members of staff on reception during the whole trip, 1 of whom had excellent English and seemed very professional, but the other 2 staff members although very polite and doing their best to help, seemed to have problems understanding English, and the check in procedures in general - perhaps they were training. I would add some slippers/robes, stock the minibar, and add some smart boxes to the TVs to take it up another level. Note I did not mention noise anywhere in my review, because if you’re staying in this area you should expect some noise from the narrow streets, but it certainly wasn’t excessive and I slept fine..

Exceptional. Loved this small hotel. Very spacious room, stylish & full of character, super comfortable bed and the balcony was great. The location was perfect for us, in a quiet side street off a busy area full of bars. it was also near all the restaurants we were keen to go to. Beneath the hotel was a lovely little wine bar - had a fun evening trying local Turkish wines. Wouldn’t hesitate staying here again if lucky enough to be in Istanbul again.. .

A decent central stay. The location is super central, very touristy just at the door of Galata sport bars on one side and Pera neighbourhood on the other. Can get to Galata Port in around 20 mins by walk and overall it was easy to get to the tube station or find taxis. The location is the best feature of this hotel (that I would rather call a pub with some upstairs rooms). Overall is exactly what you can expect for the price + great location to explore Istanbul.. Housekeeping did not come for 4 days - there was a tiny note on the side wall of the wardrobe saying we needed to give back the keys everyday for housekeeping. No one at reception told us or ever asked for feedback about our stay - on the contrary, they rather acted surprised every time we would go back to the room like they didn’t know we were staying. The service was virtually non existent which is a shame considering they all looked friendly. The room is nice, but older and smaller than what it looks in the pictures..

If this hotel was moved to a quiet area - it would be perfect. The room was really pretty and comfortable, staff was very nice and helpful. It’s extremely loud, if You generally like to sleep at night, You should stay away from this place and this neighbourhood..

. Great location, nice exposed brick interior, comfy bed and nice windows that could be opened up. The fans wasn’t great, we were both happy it wasn’t a warmer evening!.
