Very friendly welcome, we arrived early but the hotel next door work together with Violin so they took our bags until it was time to check in. Housekeeping was very good.
Own key for the outside door meant easy come easy go.
Would have loved a kettle in the room though the owner did offer to make tea anytime.
Aircon worked very well and fridge was useful.

Great location for easy access to sultanahmet. The tram from there will get you to most popular locations. The hotel is clean, staff are polite.

Nice sea view
Everything ok. Staff amazing and so friendly and respectful, my booking was for economy room and that was on ground floor but they gave me on second floor with sea view which was amazing
The only think i never like in business family which live in the same building with guests, is always noisy in the building for people who spend more time in the room,
Shutting doors or calling each other so loud.
Especially small buildings

A nice and memorable place to stay
I booked the room with the sea view for my parents and they absolutely loved it there. The room was clean and comfortable and they had this nice view of Bosphorus which they could enjoy the sunrise. Moreover, the location is so great and you will have access to the old city as well as nice restaurants within walking distances. Be careful about the stairs though if you are taking your big luggage with you, you might ask for some help as the staircase is a bit narrow but it doesn't bother at all :) All in all it was a very nice place for its price for sure.

Sauberes Hotel, Super Lage, Super Hotelbesitzer
Ich war mit meiner Frau und meinem 1 Jährigen in diesem Hotel. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Ich hatte das günstigste Zimmer gebucht. Diese war für 3 Personen zu klein. Die Tuba hat uns auf Verfügbarkeit ein größeres Zimmer reserviert. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Man kann im Hotel nebenan frühstücken. Die Dame dort super nett und hat von sich aus für meinen kleinen Omelett gekocht. Die Lage vom Hotel ist super und die Terrasse was der Hotelbesitzer Salih gezeigt hat wird demnächst geöffnet und hat ein super Ausblick aufs Meer und auf die Hagia Sophia Moschee

Tren hattının yanında bir otel. Her tren geçtiğinde odada sallandık durduk. Yatağımız gıcırdayıp duruyor ve hiç rahat değildi. Odalarda ikramlık tek kullanımlık çay kahveler olur normalde. Burada mevcut değildi. Olumlu yanlarına gelirsek oda genel olarak temizdi. Resepsiyon güleryüzünlü ve ilgiliydi.

Manque de fiabilité en ce qui concerne la réservation en elle même. Nous sommes arrivés tard le soir avec notre bébé et nous n’avons pas pu accéder à notre chambre alors que nous avions réservé et payer sur internet. On a été loger 2 nuits dans un autre hôtel à côté sans frais, puis on a été replacer à Violin boutique par la suite. Remballer ses affaires fut assez fatiguant lorsque l’on a un bébé.. Pour compenser le dérangement nous avons été placés en chambre avec vue sur mer. Le personnel s’est excusé pour le dérangement. On souligne le manque de gestion et d’accueil à l’arrivé.
