The location is very central and walking distance to many historic sites. Our room was very comfortable, spotless, quiet and beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

The hotel is located in the Sirkeci district, right in the heart of it all. The New Mosque and the Galata Bridge are a 5-minute walk away, the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar are a 10-minute walk away, and the Suleiman Mosque is a 15-minute walk away. The small street where the hotel is located is quiet, but there are two shopping streets at either end. There are countless small restaurants in the area, as well as all kinds of shops. I’ve never stayed anywhere in Istanbul with a better location.
The hotel itself is quiet and comfortable. The bar’s glass front is open during the day, and there are tables on the street as well—it’s a great place to sit, whether with a drink or your morning coffee. The restaurant has been listed in the Michelin Guide for 2023, 2024, and 2025, though I didn’t see a star. Breakfast meets all the expectations one would have of a four-star hotel in every respect; the fresh fruit is delicious.
The staff is friendly and attentive, and they recommend numerous activities. Luggage storage is available after check-out. I recommend avoiding the hotel’s airport shuttle; we paid 150 euros, and I saw several ads in the city offering the same service for around 40 euros, but I think you could get there by taxi for that price as well.
The building’s classic appearance is appealing; the walls of the rooms and the ground floor are clad in brick, which creates a very nice atmosphere. The room is spacious and well-equipped, and the mattress is very comfortable to sleep on.
Despite all that, we had a great time; the hotel’s location, the staff’s attentiveness, and the atmosphere more than made up for the issues mentioned above. It’s definitely one of the best choices in Istanbul for anyone who can live with the shortcomings mentioned above.
The building’s mechanical systems, however, are in poor condition: the air conditioner in our room was noisy and very outdated, and it didn’t even work in our travel companions’ room. The toilet flush button kept getting stuck, causing the water to gush out, so we had to pry the button loose. Finally, a sewer smell was wafting from the bathroom; we asked them to fix it—but they couldn’t. The shower stall is quite slippery, and the shower panel isn’t exactly state-of-the-art. The hotel could really use a thorough renovation.

Location - walking distance to everything while very quiet. comfortable climate in the room and great bed. The staff at reception were helpful!
Breakfast was underwhelming.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
Location of this hotel was great. It is close to all tourist attractions and key view and destination. Breakfast was decent, but not up to the level of a 5 star hotel. Staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable about places to eat and things to do during free time.
We've booked family room, which turned out to be a combination of two rooms with transition doors. What was the most disappointing is absence of windows. None of the rooms had windows. It was very claustrophobic feeling while being in the room. It definitely didn't match what was on pictures. When I booked, I was looking forward to having large windows in the room and it wasn't the case. I should've picked another hotel.
