8/10 Very good! (365 reviews)
Hotelli on helppo löytää ja siinä on viihtyisä aula sekä aamiaispaikka hotellin kattokerroksessa. Huone oli siisti ja tasokas, sekä myös hiljainen. Ilmastointi tehokas ja helposti säädettävissä. Huoneen tilavuus hyvä, eli ei tule ahdasta. Vuoteet olivat mukavia ja on hienoa, että on tarjolla myös kolmen hengen huoneitakin. Hotellin vieressä on pari hyvää ravintolaa, eli hotelliin saapumisen jälkeen on helppo käydä lounaalla tai illallisella. Hotellin respa oli lopulta joustava, vaikka vahingossa olin varannut varauksen vain yhdelle hengelle. Kaksi henkeä onnistui kuitenkin hyvin. Hotellia on helppo suositella ja hotellin hintakaan ei ole paha, varsinkaan jos kolmen hengen huoneessa jakaa hinnan kolmeen osaan matkaajien kesken.

Clean room but shower not great. Difficult to get into (bathtub with tall walls) and shower head is really a hand held shower. Sub-optimal water pressure. But breakfast was large buffet and rooftop view did not disappoint. Hotel is closer to a 3-star by North American standards.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (990 reviews)
It was a very unique small scale grand hotel in the historic center of Istanbul. Beautifully maintained and authentic property. The head concierge Omer was delightful and most accommodating. The staff at the desk and the Bell Captain were polite and gracious. I would recommend their restaurant on the top level.

The room was at the top floor with window view of Galata tower in the distance. The restaurant is a gem. Both for the full breakfast as well as dinner. You can see Bosphorus and Hagia Sofia. Quality is great and the hotel is sparkling clean. Location is ideal. 5 minutes away from Galata Bridge and Sultanahmet square. Close enough for Spice and Grand bazaar. Just around the corner you can take T1 tram for Taksim. Highly recommended.
