Very positive experience overall, recommend it.
Pros:

Very central location, a bit back from the main road which is good, not so loud.
The room was nice and specious, clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful, good English level.
Airport transfer was conveniently organized for us.

Cons:

The only negative for me was the way too stiff bed mattress.

Toller Aufenthalt, wir werden wieder buchen.
Pros:

Es war ein toller Aufenthalt im Hotel. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und man hat sich sehr aufgehoben und willkommen gefühlt. Das Personal hat uns sehr hilfreiche Tips gegeben und man konnte sie alles Fragen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Die Anlage war sehr sauber und das Frühstück fantastisch. Es gab kein Frühstücksbuffet sondern uns wurde ein Türkisches Frühstück serviert, was sehr gut war.

Cons:

In unserem Zimmer was es etwas eng im Bad. Es konnte nur jemand alleine im Bad sein.

sehr angenehm
Pros:

Frühstück war außergewöhnlich. Reichhaltig und liebevoll zubereitet. diem Lage ist exzellent. rugige Staße und doch nicht nah bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Feundliches,hilfsbereites Personal.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war für 2 Personen sehr reichhaltig. Da sich das Hotel der Nachhaltigkeit verpflichtet fühlt, hoffe ich, dass die nicht benutzten Lebensmittel nicht entsorgt werden. Sehr schöne Zimmer.

A beautiful and cozy hotel with amazing staff, delicious breakfasts, and a truly special atmosphere.
Pros:

We loved everything about this hotel. The staff were very friendly and sincere. There were so many beautiful little details everywhere. Our room was cozy and very beautiful too (we stayed in the Julius Verde room). The view of the Bosphorus was amazing. In the room, there was a kettle, tea, coffee, sparkling water, and still water for free. It was so nice after a long day in the city. There were also chocolates and drinks in the minibar for an extra charge, but we didn’t try them.

The bathroom had everything we needed: toothbrushes and toothpaste, a vanity kit, shower gel, and shampoo.

The breakfasts were fantastic! Everything looked beautiful, the presentation was great, and the food was delicious. It really felt like enjoying the true atmosphere of Turkey ❤️

We would also like to thank all the hotel staff! Thank you for doing your job with so much care and a big heart!

We also met the hotel cat named Zümrüt — she is an absolute sweetheart and such a cutie 🐈❤️

We truly recommend this hotel to everyone!

We will definitely come back again ❤️

Cons:

We loved everything ❤️

Le voyage s'est fait dans la détente, la découverte et l'hospitalité
Pros:

Petit déjeuner excellent et il y avait de tout. Personnel très professionnel que cela soit à la réception, au petit déjeuner ou au nettoyage. Emplacement au top en plein centre et situé très proche de bons restaurants ou de monuments à visiter. Super transfert navette depuis l'aéroport. Je recommande.

Semaine époustouflante ! Les monuments somptueux, la ville propre, joyeuse et l'accueil top !
Pros:

Hôtel très bien placé, dans le centre (Mosquée Bleue, Ste Sophie, Topkapi...)
Le petit déjeuner est copieux, varié (salé et sucré) et le gérant a fait des pieds et des mains pour me trouver du fromage de chèvre (je suis allergique au lactose) !
L'ensemble du personnel est discret, gentil, souriant et toujours à notre écoute.

Cons:

Nous étions dans une chambre de 3 (adultes) et les WC sont dans la salle de bain, ce qui est parfois gênant.
Sinon, rien d'autre; nous avons tout apprécié;
