Lovely boutique hotel
We moved to this hotel after having a miserable couple of days at a different one in the area and wow it was the right decision! Loved everything about this hotel, from the boutique feel (11 rooms total!) to the extremely welcoming staff (got served coffee and cake at check in) to the nice little rooms and comfortable beds. Soundproofing is also very good considering the very busy location (its position off the main road in a quiet side street definitely a plus). Overall a great experience!

So close to Galate Bridge but also on a side-street so it is very convenient and not noisy at the same time. It is a very short walking distance to T1 Tram so you can easily go to Old City. The hotel is very new and the staffs are very helpful too. I definitely will stay here if I go to Istanbul again.

Hotel non reachable الفندق لا تستطيعون الوصول اليه
We couldn’t reach the hotel
And we booked another hotel
The hotel non reachable and when we talked with the staff they told us to park 5-7 min away and pay for it
When we ask about the luggage they didn’t answer and didn’t show us these to the hotel
We spent 45 min going round and around looking for the hotel but no use 😡😡😡
We could see the parking but couldn’t reach the hotel

Tolle Unterkunft, sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Der einzige Minuspunkt ist die durchsichtige Glasschiebetür zwischen Zimmer und Toilette. Eine Privatsphäre auf der Toilette ist dadurch leider nicht vorhanden.

Das Zimmer war eine bessere Kategorie und das hat sich gelohnt.
Die Lage des Hotels ist zentral, allerdings nur zu Fuß und mit Google Maps gut zu erreichen.
Das Frühstück ist mit Liebe gemacht und für ein paar Tage ok. Für länger wird es zu langweilig.

Die Unterkunft ist zentral im Ort Istanbul Karaköy. Man kann den Taksim Square oder den Dolmabahace Palace in 30 Minuten zu Fuß gut erreichen. Es ist auch sehr nah an der Brücke zum Ortsteil Eminönü. Das Hotel ist nah an Karaköy Port, von wo man ein Boot/Schiff zur asiatischen Seite nehmen kann.
Das Hotel bietet Kaffee und Tee ohne Kosten.
Ich fand die Badezimmer Situation nicht sehr privat, weil die Glasstür nicht ganz zu geht und man durch das Glass sehen kann.

Personeel is heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Alles wordt onthaald met een glimlach. Kamers zijn niet al te groot maar net voldoende. Er wordt elke dag grondig gekuist in de kamers. Ligging van hotel is zeer goed voor openbaar vervoer en te voet.
