An Amazing small hotel with friendly staff and very good service.

Being a small boutique hotel you feel the personalized service from the very friendly staff and especially the manager Mr Alp. The free breakfast they offer is adequate and very fresh and tasty.

It was a 5 days going on ship that there was a concert.

Great location, rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable, staff is lovely.

Great hotel in the middle of the city! Only two small complains are that breakfast was very basic and nothing special and that the room even at the 5th floor had sounds from the clubs in the area around the hotel! Stuff really good

This is the best hotel in Istanbul . The best location, very clean , very friendly , close to all places to see , romantic , very recommended! Go there ! This hotel is located at the middle of Istiklal cad , close to best restaurants in the city . All the young people are having good time at cafes , restaurants 24/7 . You can see multi cultural world population in front of the hotel . All kind of languages at the street , on life time experience!

Lovely small hotel in the bylanes off Istiklal. Beautifully designed rooms and comfortable too. The bathroom was splendid (I took pictures because I loved the tiles). Great beds. Lots of in room storage. And I must mention that the room had great lighting too (dim, inadequate lighting in hotel rooms is a pet peeve of mine). Staff were friendly and breakfast was adequate. Another great thing about this hotel is the location. It's surrounded by streets filled with local book shops, art galleries, small indie artists, designers and handmade stores. Absolutely enjoyed discovering and shopping from these hidden gems. It's also walkable to some great restaurants (like Nicole). High street shopping from the likes of Zara etc. are also just a few minutes away on Istiklal street. The hotel is also surrounded by clubs and bars which play music till late, so probably best to keep this in mind and ask for a quieter room. Another thing to note is that the street the hotel is on and the surrounding streets are all on narrow steep slopes, a bit tricky to navigate after a few drinks in the evening (as I discovered), Most taxis will also drop you close-ish but not quite near the hotel because of this too. Overall though, these negatives are very manageable and didn't put us off. Would stay here again!

Very stylish and clean, close to Istiklal.
