A friend of mine and I stayed in this hotel for 7 nights, and it was more than great! First of all, the staff is so nice, every one of them. They make sure you have everything you want. Second great thing we were happy for was our room. We did not have a room with a view, but still, it was so nice. Our room was large, and the ceiling was high. The room and bathroom were both clean. The cleaning service was daily. The closets where large. To continue with the view of the terras, it was super! Eating your breakfast with a view over the Goldenhorn and the Galata bridge is priceless. If you have had an exhausting day, you can come to peace in the evening at the terras. At the and of the second day, our hotel felt like it was our home.
The location was also great. Walking to the golden horn takes approximately 10 minutes. There is a tram and busstop witing an distance of 1 minute walking. If you want to go to Taksim, you can take the historic Tünnel, it takes only 2 minutes. If you want to go to the Asian side, you can take the ferry. You have a ride for 25 minutes with a lovely sea view. You will always find a taxi right in front of the hotel, if you want to take one.
I would recommend this hotel for sure! If I visit Istanbul for a second time, this hotel will be the place I stay!
