This location is incredible and the views are beautiful. Unfortunately, the front desk was unresponsive to my messages and not very helpful. The young man (Boris?) was excellent but the other hotel staff that helped me were not very friendly. I have concerns about this hotel because they let my friend check into my room without seeing my passport. I didn’t provide her name she was only supposed to drop bags. They checked her into my room before I arrived. It was ok in this instance but I think the hotel needs to be more mindful of this for safety reasons. Additionally, when I messaged the hotel 2 days before check in, I asked for airport pickup. They never replied. I took a yellow cab from the airport because of this. The young man was helpful in this circumstance but I believe the hotel manager could have handled the situation better and been more helpful. The taxi driver scammed us and yelled at us for almost an hour and the manager seemed to side with driver. He lied to me about the price and kept changing the amount owed. The hotel manager walked away and left myself and my friend to deal with it, 2 young women vs one angry taxi driver. TLDR: it’s a lovely property but the hotel staff wasn’t responsive to my messages ahead of time, let an unauthorized person check into my room, and was generally not helpful or friendly. I would not stay here again. On my last trip to Istanbul, I the hotel had a great view, the hotel was more modern, and staff was much friendlier

Beautiful building in a fabulous location. Water views on one side and Blue Mosque on the other. Air con was a bit underpowered and breakfast was OK not as good as most that we had in Turkey.

The location of the hotel is excellent, and it seemed to be well-maintained, but that’s about all the positives I can come up with. I’m sure in its heyday it was considered quite posh, but by today’s standards it falls well short. Irrespective of the complete nightmare of the hotel-arranged airport transfer the hotel has no elevator to atone for the difficult marble staircase with its paucity of handrails, our upgraded room was quite small, and the tiny bathroom left us flabbergasted. The inward opening door opened only far enough for a normal sized person to barely squeeze in. It would be virtually impossible for anyone with oversized dimensions to enter. The shower defies description. It consisted of a hand-held shower head over a large round ablution vessel with no drain surrounded by a u-shaped marble bench. Bizarre! Breakfast was in a very nice setting, but the fare was substandard, and we found the begging feral cats annoying. The coffee was good, though. We stayed two nights and intended to stay three more later this month when we return to Istanbul, but we will definitely not be doing that after our initial experience.

My son and I stayed her and i absolutely fell in love with it. It feels authentic and the terrace over looking the Bosphorus is perfect. The location is fabulous. The night time views are incredible and if I come back again, I will stay here.
