Perfect city center location
The hotel is right in the city center; walking distance to all sights; the boats and markets. Rooms are updated and nicely decorated. Breakfast contains lots of local dishes and plenty to choose from- it’s a little busy if you go towards the end though. The pool is quite unique and was completely empty when we went which was very nice and relaxing. The orient express theme everywhere makes it very nostalgic. Very friendly staff that also gives tips to local activities. The rooftop restaurant has a great view and is even great for bird watching

I usually stay at an another property in the area. I decided to give this place a try. It is clean, comfortable and centrally locate. The staff were polite and helpful. The only comment is that because it was located on the tram line, cars were not allowed drop us off at the hotel. I knew the area well enough to suggest alternatives for drop off and pick ups. The bell boy helped us bring our suitcases to the car. We did not use the pool which is one reason I went. It was too cool for me but it would not stop other people.

Excellent location
A great hotel in the heart of Istanbul. A few minutes walk to Hagia Sofia and many restaurants/cafes/bars on the street outside the hotel. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast had a great selection and our baby was accommodated with a high chair.

Great location.
It was a nice hotel. Great location. Was about to walk to a lot of places. Easily accessible to trams. I wouldve preffered the breakfast hosted on the top floor with a view rather than in -1. Also they could have provided more turkish authentic breakfast options.

The worst experience I have ever had. When we arrived after a very long flight with young kids. They had double booked our room and had to send us to another hotel near by that was like feeling inside a jail room , a small dark cubicle with no Windows or the slightest of fresh air, they put us all over three tiny rooms and my kids had to sleep on another side from us alone.

Pictures were deceiving. We booked the family suite. It was tiny. Could barely walk around the bed. The bathroom was so small we had to dress/undress one by one in the extra small bedroom .heat and ac not working despite multiple calls to front desk. Front desk staff do not speak english and know nothing of the area. Breafast buffet was a joke. Do not stay at this hotel.
