Beautiful ornate boutique hotel in a great location to the Karakoy Tram, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and Topkapi Palace, Galata Tower. Elegant decor, comfortable, thoughtful amenities, stunning view from our room. The hotel provided us with old world charm and modern comfort and we loved coming back to our room at the end of our adventurous days. We very much enjoyed our stay.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel is beautiful and well located with various nice restaurants in the neighborhood . Everything was ok except the small elevator the hotel has. Not enough to serve the people staying at the hotel and the people who came to the rooftop bar which has a great view of the city. We spent 20 minutes trying to go down from our floor to the lobby because the elevator only fits 3 people inside and it was full of people already coming from the lobby to the roof top so we could not get in. We almost lost an appointment we had because of this. The hotel should try to fix this problem. Apart from this issue everything was great.
