Excellent stay. Would specifically like to thank the friendly lady who reset our room daily and always greeted us kindly whenever we crossed her in the hallway. Excellent location in vibrant Karakoy.

Poonam, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location and close to attractions and tram. The Wifi is very slow and almost not workable so I have to use my cell data to connect to the internet. Also the taxi the hotel booked for me overcharged me to the airport. When I booked the taxi the front desk told me the charge will be a flat rate at 750 Lira (about $26) but when the driver dropped me off at the airport he asked for $35. I had to catch the flight and had no choice but paid him money. that is not honest and the hotel should not hire the taxi company.
john, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was like a horror movie. The room had plumbing problems and it was smelling disgusting, almost impossible to breath. When we contacted to front desk, they told us they don't have any other room available. We asked for a refund and they told us we need to contact expedia about a refund (ofcourse, expedia never refunds). When we were in the room, we realized there is blood stain on the sheets and they replaced the sheets. We couldn't sleep a single minute and it was the worst experience of my life. Now, neither hotel nor expedia is not willing to refund. Definitely not recommending this place to anyone.

HORRIBLE - NOT WORTH THE MONEY. HORRIBLE STAFF

I was placed in a VERY small room suitable for 1 person and not 2. Plus with a small window where we did not know if it was daylight or night time the room was approx. 10 square meters. When I asked to change the room the man in the reception said I got what I have paid for which is standard room. When I showed my hotels.com description where it said 17 square meter. He answered that all rooms were booked except for the suite and I had to pay the difference. I insisted that I wanted the size of room that was in the description, but nothing was too be done. HORRIBLE SERVICE. The dinning area was so dusty that I asked the staff to come and clean before we could eat. The first evening at the hotel before going to bed I saw that the sheets were dirty I asked the reception for a change, they were so delayed that I had to call them because we were tired of waiting and wanted to sleep. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE AND TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU GET. BETTER HOTELS ARE TO BE FOUND FOR THAT PRICE IN ISTANBUL. YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU HAVE PAID FOR.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location. Steps from fun coffee shops, restaurants, shopping and the cruise-ship port. Artistic youthful decor. Espresso drinks located in the lobby. Several rooms in the lobby for socializing but there's a quiet library on site for writers to write their novels and scripts. LGBTQ travelers welcome. Excellent breakfast on the top floor with stunning views of Istanbul. Rooms larger than other hotels of similar price in the neighborhood. We opted for a room with a living room and bed room and it was worth it. We were in the back and it was quiet and peaceful with views of Galata Tower. There's an elevator and luggage storage. Early check-in and late check-out is available upon request. I've stayed at five other hotels in the neighborhood. This is the one I recommend. Location is excellent. Vibe and rooms are artistic and welcoming. Most New Yorkers, Californians and Europeans will be happy here. This hotel is also the official hotel of the renowned Istanbul Modern Museum (located a few feet away and well worth a visit). This hotel is hip, chic, youthful, fun, welcoming and supportive of all artists of all ages from every country. Don't hesitate. This is the place!

Otelle ilgili bir sorun yok. Lokasyon olarak çok iyi. Standart oda beklenenden çok daha küçük. Sadece yatak sığacak kadar. Konum itibariyle özellikle ücretsiz otopark seçeneğini dikkate alıp, sonradan otoparka günlük 700₺ ödeme yaptık.

Juan T, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and exact as you look in pictures, the description about how close are the galata Tower, and Istiklal square was not even close, (the description says 4 and 8 mins walking which it is not true, not even in car...) The lobby hotel and other spaces look exactly as pictured and considere them very pretty!! the front desk service considered mediocre, as tourist non turkish language knowledge, asked some help asking one of the guys to talk to a company by phone which we needed some info, and didn´t show any urge or act of interest in helping us. Also, we where kind of lost trying to get to the hotel (walking) cause we didn't have a sim card at the moment to ask for a grab or uber and it was impossible to get there walking with bags due to the wrong info in description about the walking distance time. so.. more less the place was more than great, but would not stay again because of the average service.

Die Unterkunft macht auf den ersten Blick einen soliden Eindruck, doch tatsächlich gibt es ernsthafte Defizite. Was uns am meisten gestört hat, waren die undichten Fenster. Es war somit nachts nicht nur laut sondern es kam auch kalte Luft ins Zimmer.
