Pros:

Прекрасный отель, локация лучшая, рядом трамвайная станция, но и пешком все очень близко. Рядом много
В отеле современный дизайн, уборка каждый день, отзывчивый персонал, помогает во всех вопросах. Даже одолжили деньги, когда были праздники и закрыты обменные пункты.
Обязательно вернемся!

Cons:

Официанты на завтраке не слишком приветливы :(

Great location, excellent staff, and very good facilities.
Pros:

Stayed for five nights and had a really great experience overall. The hotel is well run and the facilities are excellent. Guests can also use the gym and spa at the sister hotel, Root, which are both very good. The location is a big plus, right in the heart of Karaköy and within easy walking distance of cafés, restaurants, and the waterfront. The staff were also fantastic. Mert and Ibrahim at the concierge were extremely helpful throughout my stay, and when there was a small air-conditioning issue in my room they quickly arranged a room change with no hassle.

Cons:

The elevator is quite small and there is only one serving the floors, so occasionally you might have to wait, but it was never really a major issue.

Boutique hotel di design nel cuore di Karakoy. Super consigliato
Pros:

La struttura si trova nel cuore del quartiere Karakoy a pochi passi da tanti locali e dalla movida. L’hotel è molto bello, di design, curato nei minimi particolari. La colazione viene servita nel rooftop dell’hotel accanto, bellissimo ed è buonissima e abbastanza ricca e variegata. Il personale sempre gentile, disponibile e sono presenti in reception h24. L’ultimo giorno ci hanno portato anche della frutta in camera, gesto carino e super apprezzato.

Cons:

La nostra stanza era un po’ piccola ma nonostante questo era molto confortevole e curata. Forse avrei voluto più spazio per i vestiti.

Great central location, nice surroundings, helpful warm and friendly team.
Pros:

A very satisfied stay we were welcomed and taken to the tram stop on the first day to assist with a local travel card, it just made things a little smoother. Also keen to advise on any travel tips and accommodate any way. A very central location and hospitable team. Breakfast was located next door in the sister hotel a healthy selection and fantastic view. Showers worked great warm almost immediately and good force. Heater and air con worked well. The decor was quirky too.
We had a really pleasant stay.

Cons:

Only thing which was a bit high and too much puff for me was the pillows but that is just a personal preference. I like a flat pillow but they had no bumps which was good.

Pros:

Really great position, probably one of the best areas in town. You can easily walk to the main point of interests of the city. Really close to all sorts of bars and restaurants. My room was quiet despite the hotel being located in a popular spot.

Cons:

Not major but the rooftop, gym and spa are located in a other hotel situated a few blocks away. The gym there is not great, same for the spa.Generally the hotel is rather a 3 stars according to EU standards.
