We were on our honeymoon and it also happened to be my birthday. The staff were very very nice, and made us feel special. They were generous, friendly and knowledgeable. The location is great. The rooms are very nice.

The hotel is right on the Golden Horn, literally you can look out of your window onto the water, the fish on racks and the bustle of small restaurants. It is perfectly located in Karakoy and a close walk to restaurants, shops and Taskim. It was pretty noisy at night (just from the bustle of the city). Our room was clean and modern, the bathroom was beautifully renovated. The only challenge was finding it at first, our taxi driver had a really hard time. Better to get directions from the staff as it isn't marked from the outside. All in all a wonderful stay, very comfortable and modern facilities. Would highly recommend!

I came to Turkey for a solo motorcycle trip that began/ended in Istanbul, so I ended up staying here twice; by the end, it felt like a home away from home. The hotel location is fantastic. It's a little difficult to find the first time (the door is right next to the Karakoy Lokantsi (restaurant), which is owned/operated by the same owners), but it's just a few blocks from both the Karakoy ferryboat pier, the foot of the Galata Bridge, and the Karakoy tram stop, and from there it's just 10-15 mins. by tram to either Sultanahmet or Taksim Square. It's convenient and close to everything touristy, but the Karakoy neighborhood itself is trendy and young, with lots of restaurants (including the hotel's own excellent restaurant), bars and nightclubs, and no people trying to sell you carpets or silver. The hotel rooms themselves are huge, and decorated in a hip, modern style, with high ceilings, Edison bulbs and exposed copper conduits. At least one of the rooms has its own kitchenette -- if I hadn't known better, I could easily have mistaken it for a chic loft apartment somewhere. The owners - Aylin and Oral -- are great. Aylin helped me with my bad Turkish pronunciation every morning, and Oral is a fellow motorcyclist. When they found out I'd be traveling alone, they gave me their cell phone number and told me to call from the road with any problems. The staff are young, energetic, friendly and helpful. If I come back to Istanbul, I will try to book a room here first.

Boutique hotel on cobblestone road. Walk to Istiklal Street for shopping. Gorgeous, large rooms, spa like bathrooms, however the restaurant doubles as the lobby. Good restaurants nearby. Free breakfast until 3 pm!

The location is great, staff friendly and helpfull, room clean but not fancy.

This is a nice hotel with nice staff and good service!

Clean, small room, decent wifi, excellent breakfast included...tough to find owing to some blocked streets Certainly worth it ...unless....you have bad knees or have trouble walking. . It's on a pretty significant hill and that can be areal problem. Otherwise, a winner.

Loved the place from the start. Great friendly staff. Able to provide useful info about istanbul. Great kitchen. Everything was small but it all worked for us. Great eating places close. Fantastic.

We book hotel at last minute and didn't expect much however on the arrival it was a big pleasant surprise to see nice and clean room, professional and very helpful staff. The only thing was a little disappointment breakfast and the selection. However there is a lot of option on the street and it wasn't a big deal. I would definitely recommend this hotel and if occasion will arise I will stay again in your hotel.
