Excellente Location and Service
The location was perfect, just in front of Taksim Square, the service in general was excellent, very friendly personel. Love the decoration of the lobby and room.
The breakfast was boring, we stay 5 days and was almost the same.

Lovely little hotel near everything in the center of Istanbul! Nice staff. Fantastic roof terass which serves as a restaurant in the summer. The interior is beautifully old fashion, furniture and room components of high genuine quality, well taken care of. Breakfast is okay. We didn’t try the restaurant but it looked nice and the meny was rich. A perfect hotel for a city holiday!
