Fantastic stay. Perfect location with a great rooftop bar overlooking some of Istanbul’s sights. My only regret is that we only stayed for one night - but would happily stay here next time I’m in Istanbul

Beautiful hotel property. Great location. Our room was very nice although it was in the basement level. However, we were only there one night and the manager made it up to us with a lovely delicious breakfast!

Great location. Only 5 rooms per floor. What luxury.
Breakfast very good and no more expensive than eating in the cafes around the hotel.
Staff was friendly and helpful.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and genuinely welcoming. The staff were attentive, warm and always ready to help without feeling overbearing — a balance many hotels aim for but rarely nail this well.
The room was spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable. You can tell great care goes into maintaining the space and ensuring guests feel at home. Small touches, like the quality amenities and thoughtful room setup, really made a difference.
Overall, this hotel exceeded expectations. The service, comfort, and attention to detail made our stay memorable. I would absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuinely great hotel experience.
