We very much enjoyed our stay in this upscale newcomer. The hotel is about a block from Hagia Sophia and offers all the comforts to which I am becoming accustomed :) The decor is modern and sleek, following the recent resurgence of the mid-20th-century style. The bar has a rarely large beer list for Istanbul (10 beers rather than 1-2).... More

The service was wonderful, fast & helpful! Our room was cleaned every day that we wanted it to be (we usually do every other, or every two days & click "do not disturb" in-between). The big screen TV's are in a mirror that spans the entirety of the wall, although we weren't in our room that often, it was very... More

This is a quality hotel, with the main historical sights of interest in immediate proximity. If eating out there are a large variety of restaurants nearby. Although not inexpensive, you are paying for the luxury and convenience of accessing a four star room literally three minutes walk from a crowded Sultanahmet. Absolutely ideal for the short stay guest who doesn't... More

There are drawbacks, but it is very good in its context: quality of an international hotel right in the heart of Sultanahmet (area dominated by small local noname brands). Do ask for a room with a Hagia Sophia view. Major problem: very poor sound isolation.

Excellent location in the Old City, walking distance to most sites and the tram station. Very nice staff, comfortable, clean rooms, especially front ones with Hagia Sophia view. Breakfast can be improved, but overall excellent value for money!

After a bad overnight experience in a small 'boutique' hotel (flea-bitten, rickety and unfortunately sourced through tripadvisor!) we quickly shifted to this almost new hotel. The hotel is positioned virtually within a stone's throw of the Basilica Cisterns and the Hagia Sophia and pretty much everything else you need to see in Istanbul. The rooms are modern, well-decorated, clean and... More

Although I wrote 34 reviews till now, most of them about hotels, I deliberately did not write about anything in my country Turkey, especially Istanbul, where I live, because I thought it might involuntarily be biased, or interpreted as such. Well this will be an exception, because my daughter' s wedding ceremony and celebration party yesterday went so beyond my... More

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel! The view from the rooms was fantastic, the beds were comfortable, we loved the TV in the mirror and the breakfast was wonderful. The decor is what we expected of a 5 star hotel. There is a terrace that looks out over the main street and a great little pub which is part... More

This was the worst experience I've had in any hotel-ever. Bad bad service. Receptionist yelled at me a couple of times ( asked him what the name f a side street was) another receptionist yelled at other guests too. Making the room does not include replenishments of anything. Asking for soap, TP, tea, coffee, showe caps etc is like pulling... More
