An oasis of calm and luxury in a frenetic bustling city.
Pros:

What a fantastic hotel situated just below Galata Tower. The vibe is very cool. The rooms are minimalist and very comfortable. The showers are powerful, the bedlinen is top class. The attention to detail is extraordinary. We had a delicious varied breakfast every morning with the friendly cheery Hakan in attendance. A great way to start the day. We ate in the Italian themed restaurant on the night of our arrival and it was delicious.
We can’t thank the reception staff enough for their considerable attention even alerting us to events of interest going on in the vicinity.
There are a lot of big chain hotels in Istanbul. If you are looking for something more original and with bags of style this is the place to stay. It’s well located with easy access to the metro, team and ferry stops.

Cons:

Nothing

Really enjoyed it and felt it was good value and great design.
Pros:

The hotel is in a relatively small, beautifully restored building very near the Galata tower. The breakfast staff is led by the friendly and charming Hakan who guides you through many terrific options from homemade granola, yogurt and fresh fruit to a full blown authentic Turkish spread. The housekeeping staff, especially Elif, are also friendly and responsible with fresh towels during the evening turndown service.

The beds and sheets are too notch and it is a low key but classy establishment.

The neighborhood is a combination of real Istanbul and lots of local and international tourists with many cafes, restaurants, coffee shops and souvenir stores.

Be aware that the hotel is up a big hill from the waterfront. My wife and I are 70 and we enjoyed the challenge but others may want to use taxis to avoid the climb.

Cons:

The hotel is relatively new and has an Italian restaurant that takes up most of the ground floor (half indoors,half outside on a lovely patio. It seems like they are still figuring out exactly how to position the restaurant. It has pizza and pasta but wasn’t very crowded. My sense is that given the high quality food it is going to break through and become more popular soon.

Must visit place while in Istanbul
Pros:

Everything end-to-end is spotless! Definitely a hidden jam!

The housekeeper Elif is provably the friendliest person I have met thus far.

Cons:

A bit hard to reach by a larger car (Van), you better chose an ordinary taxi (Sedan) for your transfers.

The room was next to the central courtyard on the 1st floor.the restaurant on the ground floor was very loud (music+guests ) till midnight.
The accoustics is a big problem that needs to be solved.
