A great place to stay in Istanbul
Pros:

A lovely small hotel with wonderful views over the Bosphorus from the bedroom. Staff were helpful, kind and friendly. It was very clean and tidy. Breakfasts were excellent and we also ate in the downstairs restaurant on a couple of evenings.

Cons:

Not a big problem, but to mention… Although we were there for a city break we were keen to stay at a hotel with a pool. The pool area was quite small - it was outdoors but effectively in the basement surrounded by tall buildings. It was well-kept and fine for a quick swim, but not really designed for sunbathing or sitting out for very long.

Pros:

Der Bick über den Bosporus ist grandios, das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und der Spa Pasha das Hamam und die Massage war super, den Pool hatten wir meistens alleine. Wir kommen sicher wieder in dieses Hotel. Der Weg zum Hafen wo die Bootsfahrten starten ist in 10 Minuten zu bewältigen und das Fussballstadium und der Taximplatz 5 Minuten entfernt. Alles einfach perfekt. 🥰🩷🤗

Bel hôtel fonctionnel proche de Taksim
Pros:

Très bonne localisation proche de Taksim et du tramway pour rejoindre le centre historique. Belle vue au petit-déjeuner.

Cons:

La piscine est petite et ses abords un peu sombres, mais agréable quand même.

Simply amazing
Pros:

The location is just 5 minutes away from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. If you walk downhill, you can reach the tram and boat station at Kabataş, from where you can easily travel to different parts of the city.
The room was amazing—very clean, a great view of the Bosphorus, and a very decent size. The staff were also amazing and extremely helpful. We were traveling with our child, so they provided an additional bed and changed the baby crib for us in no time.
I absolutely loved the room, the peaceful balcony with its beautiful view, and the location. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would definitely recommend it.

Cons:

Bathroom door does not have lock and it's glass door not visible from inside or outside but still should be wooden door and must have lock. also the shower room is little small and outside bathroom area way towards the bathroom so it feels like it middle of the room. That two things I didn't like for my room apart from this I love the room.
