Pros:

La estética del hotel, es sencillo pero elegante. Camas cómodas, agua de cortesía y tetera.

Cons:

Quizás en la doble standar el hueco de almacenamiento es bastante justo si vas muchos dias. Por el resto todo perfecto

Parfait.
Pros:

Tout. C’est un petit hôtel avec un super confort, il y a exactement ce qu’il faut et la localisation est parfaite, à deux pas du Tram 1 qui dessert tout le centre historique. Il y a de bonnes adresses pour dîner le soir et c’est loin de l’agitation touristique, mais ça reste un quartier très animé. Le rapport qualité prix est top, et le personnel très sympa. N’hésitez pas à réserver cet hôtel et si vous hésitez sur le quartier, j’ai pour ma part trouvé que c’était un gros +.

Cons:

La bouilloire est un peu dangereuse car quand elle est chaude il ne faut pas toucher la poignée au risque de se brûler 😬

Great location. Wonderful staff.
Pros:

Excellent location, with restaurants, cafés, pubs, shops, the tram stop, and ferry terminal all just a short walk away. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe in the area at all times. The room was clean, good shower, and the bed was very comfortable.

Pınar and Metin were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. I especially appreciated—and looked forward to—engaging conversations and fresh tea with Metin. Their genuine hospitality made my visit even more enjoyable and memorable.

Cons:

The view from the Standard Double Room was disappointing and quite unappealing. A sink plug would be a useful addition for guests wishing to wash a few small or ‘hand wash only’ items by hand, especially since there are no convenient laundromats nearby.

Great hotel in a fabulous location.
Pros:

The location is amazing!!!! Perfect for the cool area of Karakoy, everything is walking distance.

Cons:

My only issue and it’s not the hotels fault, it’s very close to a mosque so 4am call to prayer was loud.
