Everything from the way we were welcomed, to the way the room was laid out and put together for us, this small trendy boutique hotel had more hospitality and customer service experience than a 5 star hotel. Particularly the gentlemen at the front desk, was so friendly and welcoming - he always went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Definately a top hotel to stay at. Location is great too and room well maintained.

Staff pleasant, kind, offered tea, and tourism suggestions. Room - spotless and excellent lighting. Only suggestion I have is to maybe have a chair in the room. Bathroom-spotless and high pressure hot water for shower.

Couldn’t have asked for a better location! The hotel was in a great area central to all the major sites, shops and restaurants. Easy access to the tram to explore the other side of the river and other parts of the city. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to help us with any arrangements we needed. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We did note a slight smell in our bathrooms from the water lines/drains but it did not affect our stay. Would definitely recommend!

10/10 Exceptional

A good clean place to put your head down for the night. AC works well. Small rooms but typical of all hotels in the area. Food and shopping around the area is expensive but again that’s due to closeness to the sights. Tram stop 2 mins walk away - easy access to Galata side also. Metro also 4 mins away to transfer to Anatolian side.

Great location near Sirkeci Station. First class/friendly/ mostly helpful staff But when I mentioned that someone was smoking cigarettes on the 3rd or 4th floor the response was a shoulder shrug. Like"that is Istanbul'. Not a beneficial response

Odalar yepyeni ve tertemizdir; bir de çok sakindir. Odada su şişesi tedariki her gün sağlanmaktadır. Sirkeci İstasyonu'na çok yakındır. Personel kibardır. İstanbul'a döneceksem şüphesiz orada konaklayacağım.
