Well located hotel that was realistically priced.
Pros:

Breakfast was good and served in downstairs area . Staff were very helpful storing outr luggage as we had a late plane flight. Staff did not rush us out of room at checkout time but allowed a bit extra time to complete packing.

Cons:

Unfortunately hotel was doing renovations on rooftop area which necessitated us moving rooms due to noise of banging and drilling. Also neighbouring property was also being renovated.

Disappointing to what otherwise would have been very good
Pros:

Great staff

Cons:

We had to move hotels as the rooftop terrace was closed due to construction works. Our room was directly below these building works which made it impossible to stay there so we moved, with their assistance, after 2 nights

Excellent service and an unbeatable location, but terrace communication issue needs to be solved.
Pros:

The staff and service were exceptional, making us feel very welcome. The breakfast was really good, and the location is ideal for sightseeing - just minutes away from Hagia Sophia, the Cistern, and Topkapi.

Cons:

The description on Booking.com lists the terrace as a highlight and while googleing/gemining it you can expect that the views to the Bosphorus are one of the best in the area. Which was one of the major feature for us to book it.
Unfortunately, it is under reconstruction. To avoid confusing future guests, the hotel needs to update its description or proactively offer a discount until the work is finished.
