Conveniently located to all the sites you would like to visit in Istanbul. Close to restaurants. Close to tram and the ferry which you can use to visit other parts of Istanbul.
EMEFRE, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location and fabulous views from the 5th floor. The breakfast was elaborate and no complaints at all. Rooms are very comfortable and staff is great as well. The biggest problem was there was extremely loud music until 3am every night, Very difficult to sleep especially with a small child. Hotel said it was other night club across the hotel and they didn't have any control over this. Stayed 3 nights, but hardly slept until after 3am!
Rupin, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Restuarant/Breakfast view to the Bosphorus and Gokden Horn, magnificent!! Great location: Dinning options, tram, ferry, funicular, walkable.
Mauricio, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice place and nice restaurant
Arjun, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very well-located: perfect for those who need the port, close to the main attractions, Bosphorus ferries in all directions, plenty of restaurants, and a stroll along the brand-new luxury promenade with the best view of both the bridge and the Golden Horn. But the hotel itself is as basic as it gets. No design, uncomfortable beds and pillows, and a very impractical sink. Don’t book the “Bosphorus view” rooms — you can’t really see it, and you’ll get all the noise from the promenade and the street. Rooms facing the inner courtyard are the best — simply because they’re quiet! In short, it’s a great budget option if you’re not looking for anything fancy.
ALEXEI, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location but a little noisy in some rooms due to restaurants on street and music till 1/2 am

farzad, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Overall excellent hotel, nice bar and restaurant downstairs, excellent but very expensive roof top restaurant also. Hotel has a spa which I didn’t use. Staff all very nice and attentive always asking to help. Only slight issue with my room was a very slowly draining shower. I didn’t inform desk as it wasn’t that big a deal but if you like long showers would’ve been a problem. I def return here if in Istanbul again
