. Great location, excellent service and excellent room. We loved the hotel, the restaurant located at the top of the hotel has a great view. Breakfast buffet has a great variety of options. You will be staying in the middle of everything you want to do.. .

A wonderful surprise. I was in Istanbul in December and stayed in this wonderful property. Clean room and excellent services. The friendly staff, special thanks to Onur and Ugur for their innate professionalism. International breakfast and for those who want there is an active laundry service. Thanks to all the staff. .

Try booking.com. Stayed here for 5 nights and i will give pro's and con's.
Pro's
The place is very clean and that is a must for me.
The cleaners are really nice and friendly and do a great job.
Older man in restaurant is very friendly.
The shower is fantastic very powerful.
The area is not far from everything i.e walking distance to the Grand Bazar and other sights. OLD TOWN
The tram is at the bottom of street.
Con's
The food is terrible if you are English chicken soup, salad, vegetables. A very Turkish breakfast not continental which was a big let down for us.
The rooms are so small you cannot lay your suitcase out and move around the room, the pictures are very deceiving so do not be fooled.
There is no hanging space hardly, literally a small cupboard the width of hanger (not exaggerating) everything has to stay in the suitcase.
Rooms are very noisy.
Reception: the man is very arrogant and rude wanted to sell trips, expensive restaurants as people said previously, very unhelpful and unapproachable, would consider getting a lady as this is a massive put off. Always a miserable face like he is doing you a favour.
The hotel in photos looks amazing, it is ok, although they keep the lights off in reception and around the hotel which we found a real put off.
Honestly I would not go back.
Please check out booking.com there are some amazing hotels on there if you can and closer it got for us 5 nights away rooms were coming up so cheap.
Sorry for the honest review, hope this helps someone.. .

Not trust worthy. The hotel was in a good location and adequate for a two day stay while visiting the city, however we were given such poor recommendations for places to eat and things to do that we felt like an easy mark. We arrived tired and hungry after a 10 hour flight. We took their recommendation for a restaurant under the bridge for dinner. We ended up ordering only one entree and a bottle of wine for $450 (a lot more than we would normally spend. We complained to staff at the hotel for not warning us about the cost only to find they gave the same recommendation to friends who arrived two days later. Definitely can’t be trusted.. .

Overall comfortable, but a bit noisy on 6th floor (immediately below the restaurant), is overpriced and under quality.. Hotel is as would be expected in this price range, comfortable bed, limited hanging space, good bathroom but nowhere to lay out a suitcase. Breakfasts are good (they were included in the room deal by my your company.
However, don’t even think about having dinner in the top floor restaurant…. Over priced and under value.. was charged 30 euros each for canned soup, limited Bain-marie hot food (it wasn’t) and a limited range of salads. Take a tip, walk out onto the street, turn left and walk 100m to a range of good eateries at realistic prices.. .

Great hotel. We started our tour at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the decor. The staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was included which was pleasant on the top floor of the hotel. The rooms were comfortable if a tad small, although we each had a room. It was close to restaurants and a train station . .

Prime location in Old Town. We spent four nights here, two pre tour and two post tour, and we were very comfortable; it was great and we loved the views from the breakfast room.
The staff were all friendly and helpful.
The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious.
It’s located in the old town, perfectly positioned for exploring.
The mini bar prices were very reasonable.
We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.. .

Rip off. A total shake down began at the desk when we asked for a taxi could get us a taxi but at 3 times the cost we found for our self tried overcharging on my beers 5 for 4 haha nope and then tried charging us 25 euros for a buffet that closed at 10pm and we arrived at 9.40pm no mention of this until the wife was sat down eating a small plate as nothing left 😀 😄 small rooms try charging you for using the mini bar when we had nothing out of the mini bar a total rip start to finish rooms are clean enough people nice enough just have yours eyes open and mark every thing down or be prepared to be ripped off . .

OK but nothing special. We stayed for two nights as part of a tour group and it was perfectly acceptable for a small city centre hotel, but nothing special. The room was small and dark, but OK for two nights. The restaurant was the main downside, with staff pushing the very mediocre evening buffet, and a la carte dishes slow to arrive and disappointing when they did. Better to eat at one of the nearby restaurants. Staff were all pleasant and helpful.. .
