Schönes, kleines Hotel, mitten drin, mit guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Pros:

Schönes, kleines Hotel mit sehr guter Lage. Einkaufsstrasse, Superermärkte, Restaurants, Strassenbahn, Sehenswürdigkeiten, etc... alles fußläufig erreichbar. Nachts kann es teilweise etwas lauter werden, da man halt mitten in Istanbul ist.
Zimmer sind etwas klein, aber mehr braucht man im Prinzip nicht. Bad mit begehbarer Dusche war auch Top. Und alles war sauber.

Cons:

Zimmer könnten manchen Leuten etwas zu klein. Nachts kann es lauter werden.

Wirklich ein angenehmer Aufenthalt wo Preis- Leistung stimmen.
Pros:

Man hat alles was es braucht. Ein schönes Hotel mit tollen Service. Das Personal war außergewöhnlich hilfsbereit und. serviceorientiert. Alles war sauber. Morgens wurde einem
Kaffee und kleine Küchlein bereitgestellt. Es gan super Tipps per Whats App. Top Preis-Leistung gesamt.

Cons:

Die Lage in der schmalen Gasse sorgt dafür das es recht dunkel ist und die Fenster könnten besser isoliert sein.

The stay was okay for the price paid but some room for improvement
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful, very responsive via whatsapp. Location was good with a short walk out into the main road and further up to taksim square. Good shower pressure and the room was well cleaned every day

Cons:

Unfortunately the AC unit was not very good and we were constantly woken up by noise especially in the morning by cleaners and the resturant downstairs early in the mornings. The bed and pillows were quite firm and uncomfortable.

Perfect location. Amazing staff! So friendly and helpful, I think I would go back just for them! The room was perfect an
Pros:

The location was perfect! Just a few metres and you are on Istiklal street but far enough that it isn’t loud and busy around your hotel. It was great value for money.

Cons:

I liked everything.

Good value for the money and location, could use some upgrades.
Pros:

The location is very good. Located close to the main attractions and Galata tower.

Cons:

Rooms on the street side are noisy and we had to change our room due to a broken shower and window that didn't open properly. But the staff was kind and offered us a premium room on the rear side that was quiet and sunny.

Lovely stay, good location and helpful staff. Definitely would recommend this place!
Pros:

Brilliant location, staff were super kind and helpful, especially Sinem and Mustafa. Others were brilliant too, didn’t get their name unfortunately!

Cons:

Shower/ water pressure during shower was not great. The staff have taken note and said they will fix it. However it worked and I had a good stay so not a huge complaint.
