Great place at very good location with great restaurants around
Pros:

The staff was really nice and helpful, the hotel it’s very close to everything and a lot of well rated restaurants in the area, ubers are usually half a block away and rooms were very confy and spacious.

Cons:

It’s located in the lower part of the area so you have to walk up the streets but that’s Istanbul in general.

Memorable stay, wishing to go there again.
Pros:

Staff was really friendly and professional, you can immediately perceive a nice atmosphere and best of ownership and management. They were always attentive and respectful. Unforgettable the surprise of a dedicated huge breakfast (with lots of homemade delicacies) the last day of my stay. Hotel location, buildings, and room (chosen accurately from what was offered) fully met my expectations in terms of comfort as well as for being embedded and overlooking real and soft neighboring life (in spite of the area being punctuated with several tourist accommodations and restaurants, it still maintains a remarkable flavor of local life). Major monuments were at walking distance, good was climbing uphill as physical exercise to start the day. Remarkable old mosques can be found in the street network around the hotel site. Seagulls gave a son et lumière show as flying stars against the dark blue sky at night, being illuminated by city lights.

Cons:

Basically no disappointment. The only one minor technical issue with a faucet was easy to overcome without external intervention just giving little time to the flow to adjust itself to the wished temperature.
