Pros:

Маленький уютный отель за разумные деньги
Кондиционер работал хорошо,в холле приятно
Сотрудники замечательные,и еще плюс в том что забронировали без предоплаты,т.к белорусской картой не получалось оплатить отель в Турции
Уютная терраса,мало людей,очень спокойно
Подготовили трансфер,все прошло хорошо

Cons:

Единственный минус,что в отеле нет никакого кафе или магазина

Pros:

‏ One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. All the reception staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
The hotel is very peaceful and makes you feel as if you are at home.
The housekeeping service is excellent, with daily cleaning provided. The price is great considering the quality of service offered.
I hope it always remains this way.

Thank you very much.

Pros:

Hotel was beautiful. But one of the receptionists when I said that our room has a cigarette smell and if it’s possible to changed he said that I have my time to said this on the check in but we actually get into hotel night and left only our bags.

Clean, quiet, well designed but rather small rooms. Definitely recommend.
Pros:

The bed is comfortable, and the room is designed like an apartment with a kitchen, making it highly suitable for long-term stays. Overall, the apartment was very clean, the furniture looks great, and the kitchen is perfect.

As for the location, it is on a rather quiet street within walking distance of the Ortakoy Pier. Additionally, the front of the hotel faces a lovely wooded area.

Cons:

The ground-floor rooms are surrounded by an awful metal fence that blocks the view completely, making it feel like a prison. Furthermore, the windows do not seal properly against air or sound, so you can hear city noise all night. Because the hotel is located in a relatively quiet neighborhood, the noise isn't a massive issue, but you can still hear traffic from the Bosporus Bridge motorway in the distance. The room temperature also fluctuates throughout the night along with the outside weather because the poorly sealed windows allow air to draft in and out. We didn't use the AC since the weather was nice, but you would definitely need to keep the climate control running constantly during colder seasons.

Additionally, they only provide one bottle of water in total. It would be a huge improvement if the hotel provided two large bottles of water every day, especially since buying your own is a hassle—the closest market is a 10-minute walk away. Adding a desk would be a huge improvement, too. The room is designed like an apartment with a kitchen, yet there is nowhere to comfortably work or study.

If I stayed here again, I would choose higher floors facing the front side of the hotel.

Bit of a disappointment and out the way
Pros:

Room facilities in general are fine and clean etc.

Cons:

The sofa "bed" was approximately 1 metre long and totally inappropriate to sleep on. When asked about this we weren't permitted to upgrade even though there was a room free and we could have paid the difference. Staff really pushy afterwards on leaving a review and the location is really quite bad and far removed from anywhere.

Beautiful and amazing
Pros:

I love everything about The Public Ortaköy, from the moment I checked in with my wife to the time we checked out, it was truly satisfying and a wonderful experience overall. We are glad that we chose to spend our last few days of vacation in Istanbul at The Public Ortaköy after traveling to Ankara, Cappadocia and Antalya cause we couldn’t have made a better choice. Their service was excellent and we can’t thank them enough for making our stay both beautiful and memorable.

Cons:

Funnily I was impressed with the overall service so there’s nothing I can say about the things I do not like.
