Fantastic service
Pros:

Very good service from the people working in the hotel and restaurant. Also the restaurant is a great place to have your dinner! The hotel is situated in the Balat area, a very nice area with many restaurants and coffee shops '

Cons:

One side of the hotel is faced towards a very busy road, this means a lot of noice for 24 hours per day as the hotel windows are not insulated. Also in the rooms not everything is working....

Lovely boutique getaway on the Golden Horn
Pros:

Great location for us when we needed to rent a car and then leave Istanbul the next day. I loved being on the Golden Horn!

The bed was super comfortable and the rooms beautifully appointed.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were both very good.

Cons:

Not really. The road is a bit noisy but it is a major one- I would have spent more time on our balcony otherwise.

Pros:

Отличный отель! Уютный номер, окна выходили на воду - Золотой рог. Все необходимое в номере имеется, уборка каждый день. Завтраки хорошие, однообразные, но все есть, овощи, фрукты, свежие соки. Персонал очень дружелюбный. Ресторанчик при отеле, еда вкусная, обратили внимание, что местные его с удовольствием посещают. Вечерами сложно найти свободный столик.
Кто любит небольшие и немноголюдные отели, этот отель подойдет.
Плюсом цветные домики и улочки самого Балата.

Pros:

Отличное расположение, приветливый и вежливый персонал, уютные ретро-номера. Внизу отличный греческий ресторанчик (видимо, очень популярный среди турок, поскольку вечерами он полностью забит, так что места надо бронировать, но это легко если живешь в этом отеле). Тихий, аутеничный район на берегу Золотого Рога.

Cons:

Нет лифта.
