Il est décrit qu’il y a un SPA mais inexistant dans l’hôtel en réalité. Impossible d’avoir une simple bouteille d’eau à l’achat à la réception hier soir, là où la plupart des hôtels vous l’offre chaque jour.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Kerem at the front desk was very helpful. His suggestions where to eat and where to go locally were excellent, never disappointed yet very satisfying. This hotel is where all the good restoring , cafes and bars and of course many historical places. No need to rent a car and don’t because nowhere to park. I’ll definitely come back to this place next time

El hotel está muy bien ubicado, a unos 7 minutos a pie de la Torre Gálata. Está en un antiguo edificio, que interiormente lo han remodelado con un estilo industrial neoyorkino. La habitación no es de gran tamaño, diría promedio en la ciudad de Estambul. La cama y la ropa de cama son de buena calidad. El desayuno no está mal y el WiFi funciona bien. Lo negativo es que es la habitación es un poco obscura, le falta luz y para llegar al edificio hay que subir una pequeña colina. Un poco inaccesible para los taxis

Konumu çok ideal, katlı otoparka yakın... Karaköy, Galata ve İstiklal e yürüme mesafesinde. Odaların büyüklüğü yeterli ve ses yalıtımı gayet iyi.. Lüks beklentiniz yoksa ve sadece gece kalacak bir yere ihtiyacınız varsa en iyi seçenek. Kahvaltısında ürünler taze ve lezzetliydi. Her bir çalışan da çok güler yüzlü ve yardımsever. Aynı böylege gittiğimde tereddüt etmeden tekrar tercih edeceğim bir otel.

The hotel is very, very basic. The breakfast is disappointing. There is zero amenities in the room. The bathroom wall is glass, so when one needs to go in the middle of the night, you have to turn on the light, thus waking your partner. While the map shows it is near to public transport, there are some steep steps to negotiate. I will not stay there again

The hotel seems new but it's poorly maintened. The room was dirty, I've found a plastic cap on a frame the bad had strange of stuff left on, the bathroom was decent but I got stuck in it during the night, due to the glass door that didnt open. The minibar didn't work and the ac was tiepid...I booked it with the 70% diacount but I do not get how the same room could be valued more.

Es gibt ein Punkt, welcher für das Hotel spricht und das ist die Lage. Das Hotel liegt an einem zentralen Punkt, wodurch man gewisse Orte, wie Besiktas, Eminönü usw. Gut erreichen kann, mehr positives fällt mir nicht ein, da ich das Hotel nur wegen der Lage gebucht habe. Das Frühstück ist miserabel für 10€ Aufpreis, dann lieber für das gleiche Geld draußen frühstücken. Die Hygiene vom Zimmer weißt sehr viele Mängel auf, Flecken auf der Bettwäsche, Schimmel Flecken im Bad und andere weitere Flecken auf der Bettdecke.

We have been waken up in the middle of the night by strong sewage odours. Room was not soundproof, we were hearing people shouting in the corridor in the middle of the night. We didn’t feel safe. To turn the bathroom lights on, we had to turn on the lights of the whole room so you can’t go to the bathroom without waking up your partner.

Location, staff, and overall aesthetic design were amazing! They don't let you control the Air Conditioning System though and the room ran hot, difficult to sleep because of it and I couldn't change the temperature. At this price point, you should be able to control the temperature of your own room.

We faced a sudden change in our flight schedule and needed a late checkout. Erdem went above and beyond by making a phone call and arranging for us to stay until 9 pm free of charge. This thoughtful gesture made our experience truly outstanding. Thank you so much, Erdem, for your exceptional service and hospitality.
