Неплохой отель рядом с Истикляль
Pros:

Рядом с Истикляль. Для нас это был транзит, останавливались на одну ночь. Из-за сильной задержки вылета (на 8 часов) добрались до отеля уже за полночь. Однако нашли на Истикляль где поужинать. Отель не плохой, для нас - семейная пара +9-летний ребенок формат двуспальная и односпальная кровати был кстати. Жили на высоком этаже, потому шум от кафешки внизу не мешал.

Cons:

К отелю нет возможности подъехать на авто. Потому последние 100 метров чемоданы пришлось нести самим.

Superb boutique hotel in an old historical building in the perfect location in Taxim.
Pros:

Wonderful hotel in the perfect location, just off İstiklal. Historical building. Beautiful details, marble stairs, plaster moldings, nice iron doors. Elevator. Room with window with a view. Comfortable bed. Nice bathroom. Good air conditioning. Excellent breakfast. Dining room was very well designed. More like a restaurant. Staff at front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. Have been coming to Istanbul for over 20 years and this was one of the best hotels I've stayed in. Extremely good value for the money. Booking.com provided (free) taxi service from airport was also noce.

Cons:

Trivial thing: three people in our room but only two coffee mugs. Otherwise, no complaints. Although, I know if I had asked they would have given me a third cup.

Pros:

Amazing hotel ! Top class personalized service . Special thanks to Ahmet for his professional and kind care . For the birthday greeting with cake , candle and wonderful wishes from the hotel team . This is an unexpected and very touching surprise . Thank you to the assistant Eser for his help and good mood :) To the nice and helpful maids , other staff who created a cozy environment and comfort . They provide everything you ask for (e.g. luggage scales, etc.) . Excellent value for money ! I will definitely come back .
Rekomenduoju visiems , nes tai geriausias pasirinkimas iš viešbučių , esančių centre . Aš buvau keliuose viešbučiuose ir net nėra ką lygint - čia geriausia vieta ! Jaukios kavinės su prieinamom kainom šalia , viskas patogiai pasiekiama .

Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν σε άψογη τοποθεσία...το δωμάτιο πολύ άνετο και καθαρό....το πρωινό πλούσιο ....το προσωπικό ευγενέστατο και φιλόξενο ....ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ τους Zergin, Tusay και Hazal που έκαναν τα πάντα για να έχουμε μια άψογη διαμονή! Θα επιλέγαμε ξανά το ίδιο ξενοδοχείο!

Cons:

Τίποτα...ήταν όλα άψογα.

Pros:

At first when we arrived we were not pleased with the room as it was too small and narrow to be a room of two, and it was directly facing the bar which was loud. Not to mention the electricity and water issue. HOWEVER, when I spoke to the staff they apologized and immediately changed our room to a one that suits us and made sure we were pleased with the change.

In all honesty The treatment and hospitality of the staff was enough to make us forget about the bad first day we had. Breakfast and the cleanliness of the hotel were both excellent and very good, the atmosphere is cozy and lovely as well. I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Ahmet and the guy (I forgot his name) who’s always helping us during breakfast, they made our stay at this hotel special and wonderful.

Cons:

- When we first arrived we didn’t like the room as it was too small to be a room for two people.
- the room was directly facing a bar which was loud
- when I plugged in to charge my phone the electricity fully went out in the room
- when I was brushing my teeth the next morning brown water came out

Cons:

Отель снял деньги за бронирование зная, что район закрыт полицией и мы не сможем заселиться. Бронировали в этот же день.
