Good location, one block from the Bosphorus. The hotel is divided in two buildings that are not connected, the second one ‘more modern’ is in the back that you have to access via a dark dirty alley. The entrance to the second building smells like rotten fish.

Located 6 minutes or so from the T1 tram station at Karakoram and the M2 metro at Halic. Nearby there are several fish restaurants. Very few grocery stores, none that sell liquor. Hotel rooms, bathrooms are tiny. Elevator capacity is 3 people. Breakfast buffet is not abundant, just the basics. Only black, filtered coffee available, no machine that can dispense espresso or cappuccino. Boiled and scrambled eggs provided, omelette is extra.

I booked a room with panoramic view. It's the whole reason I chose the hotel. Upon arrival, only a regular view room was given. I called the reception and he argued that one of the pictures on display was not panoramic view and it's upon availability. However, the room size wasn't right, and I paid more for the room type. I was moved to the right room the next day. No price difference was given for the first day. They should be more honest with the room description by removing the wrong picture and honor the room type per booking.

A hotel ultimately rests on the quality of its staff and the staff here are amazing from Ali and reception staff to the excellent Peninsula restaurant staff - with a special mention to Besat and the lovely cleaning and service staff. The room was spotlessly clean with fantastic views over the city from tbd rooftop restaurant. I would happily stay here again and recommend unreservedly .
