Эстетичный уголок Парижа в шумном Стамбуле.
Pros:

Принадлежность отеля к группе BONJOUR сразу читается в высоком качестве сервиса и дизайна. Это камерный бутик-отель, где каждый номер уникален: с предметами искусства, росписью на стенах и историческими деталями. Мы жили в люксе с французским балконом — очень атмосферно. Персонал приятный и ненавязчивый. Завтраки по меню (два блюда на выбор) отличные: от крок-мадам и авокадо-тостов до каш и любых блюд из яиц. Визуально все продумано до мелочей. Отель идеален для эстетов, но есть один существенный минус: прямо за углом находится шумная барная улица. Несмотря на новые стеклопакеты, ночью в номере сильно слышен гул.

English version

The hotel's affiliation with the BONJOUR group is evident in its high-quality service and design. It is an intimate boutique hotel where each room is unique, featuring original art, wall murals, and preserved historical details. We stayed in a suite with a French balcony, which was very atmospheric. The staff is pleasant and unobtrusive. The à la carte breakfast (choice of two dishes) is excellent, offering everything from croque-madame and avocado toast to porridge and eggs in any style. Visually, every detail is well-thought-out. The hotel is perfect for aesthetes, but there is one major drawback: a noisy bar street right around the corner. Despite the new soundproof windows, the noise is still very noticeable at night.

Cons:

Специфика локации: Соседство с шумными заведениями привлекает нетрезвые компании, что портит общее впечатление от престижного района.
Плохая звукоизоляция: Несмотря на новые окна, технически здание не справляется с внешним шумом.


• Location specifics: The proximity to noisy nightlife spots attracts rowdy crowds, which detracts from the upscale vibe of the area.
• Poor soundproofing: Despite the new windows, the building's structure fails to block out the external noise effectively.

Very nice place to stay while visiting Istanbul
Pros:

Very nice and beautiful hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. We stayed there for 4 nights, which was perfect to visit the different parts of Istanbul. Public transfer and Uber within walking distance. We had the biggest room of the hotel which is perfect for a family (with 4).

Cons:

The hotel is close to the nightlife district. Our room was at the street side, so a lot of noise in the evening. Acoustic insulation is a recommendation.

Pros:

Posizione ottima in un quartiere molto vivace,ma rimane su una strada relativamente tranquilla. Per visitare Istanbul molto comoda.
Pulito.

Cons:

Essendo una categoria 5 stelle mi aspettavo una colazione più ricca. I cornetti e il pane sono buoni e hanno un piccolo menù alla carte per uova e altri piatti caldi, ma il buffet è un po' triste. Due yogurt di numero (una mattina ad un'ora dal termine della coalzione erano tra l'altro finiti), come frutta kiwi e mele. Potrebbe migliorare.
Sempre per il fatto che si tratta di un 5 stelle: il letto non veniva mai rifatto al mattino,da un 5 stelle me lo aspetterei.
Se fosse un 4 stelle lo valuterei tra il 9 e il 10,ma avendo una stelle di più,mi aspettavo servizi al top.
Il bagno mancano mensole o superfici per appoggire le proprie cose

Hôtel très agréable tout comme le personnel
Pros:

L’espace et la décoration.

Cons:

Il y a eu du bruit, musique, tard dans un restaurant juste à côté le samedi soir .
Les doubles vitrages n’étaient pas suffisants car il y a aussi eu des travaux dans la rue

We enjoyed five nights at the hotel, five people in 2 different types of room, both excellent and well equipped for our
Pros:

A beautiful building with clean and modern rooms. The lobby smells divine! We took advantage of the hotel’s offer to organize transport from and to the airport (IST). The rates very reasonable and having transport pre-arranged took the stress out of arrival and departure day, would recommend to others staying here in the future.

Cons:

Nothing

Короче, ничего не омрачало отдых, ожидание=реальность. 7 дней прошли замечательно, спасибо всем за наш отдых
Pros:

Отличная локация: куча кафе/ресторанов, торговая улица, метро, туннель и т.д., чистый номер, достаточно места, грамотно организовано хранения вещей, есть завтраки, вежливый и проф. персонал. Завтраки вкусные и полезные, выбор по меню + выкладка.
С крыши прекрасный вид в хорошую погоду.

Cons:

Немного минусов.
Совсем нет крючков для верхней одежды при входе.
Небольшая слышимость в номерах (лифт, двери соседей - нам норм было, номер был в самой дальней части).
На завтраки лично нам не хватало прекрасных турецких сыров и обычных вареных яиц.

Outstanding hotel in Istanbul.
Pros:

This is a first class five star hotel in a beautiful neighborhood, which is a quick metro ride to all the big sites in Istanbul. The room was exceptionally clean. The staff was wonderfully welcoming, particularly one gentlemen by the name of Mustafa. He was our go to guy when it came to directions and restaurants and anything else you needed. It was a great location with many restaurants within walking distance and the metro just down the street. An easy metro ride to Suntanamet and the Blue Mosque. Everything worked as it should and at a very reasonable price for this city. Room 403 had a great view of the Galata tower. I can’t say enough how glad we are that we stayed here. It reminds me of Ritz Carlton quality.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like about the property.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit too standard and disappointing for our taste, why we skipped it and headed to restaurants nearby for lavish turkish breakfast.

Besides that, the hotel is perfect!
