The front desk staff was incredibly nice and friendly. They provided tour and restaurant recommendations, which were very helpful. The area is nicely located near shops and lots of restaurants. The only negatives (minor) are the night street noise and a slightly hard bed. Overall, a great choice!

We truly enjoyed our short stay. The hotel made our transportation arrangements from the airport and it worked out great. They also set us up for a tour of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with our guide, Sam. He was so informative and helpful. The hotel was always more than happy to offer us recommendations or assistance with whatever we needed. It was our first time in Istanbul and we really appreciated their assistance. The hotel was comfortable and located right by a walkable street with shops and cafes. I would recommend staying at this hotel!

This should not be a Expedia VIP property. First room I received was unacceptable for multiple reasons. If it’s low price, go for it. The location is amazing, but do not expect VIP quality. Don’t think because the ratings are high that it’s because of the hotel itself. It’s mediocre at best but in a very good location. If you do stay, don’t get the standard room. Upgrade if available.

Perfect little hotel in a perfect location. I was a solo traveller and everything I could want or need was within easy reach. It's a busy area but if you wanted to head out to explore the local area without too much interference from pedestrian traffic I would recommend hitting the pavement before 7am. Staff were super helpful and the place was clean. Awesome shower pressure and almost instant hot water. The list goes on. I'll be recommending to friends and wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future 😍
