Luxury hotel, handmade furniture,very authentic! Service, top-level service. All attractions are within walking distance.They brought treats and a delicious cake in honor of our significant date. I really enjoyed the breakfast service and of course the stunning sea view! We were given a nice gift during the eviction.

I accidentally came across the hotel while walking around the city. We decided to stay for 2 nights. I didn't regret it for a second. It contrasts very strongly with the area where it is located - in a rather boring gray area, away from the sights and main streets, there is a palace made of gold and marble. Enter the main gate of the palace and find yourself in a fairy tale! There are rich interiors, carpets, furniture, and everything around is handmade from expensive and refined materials. The whole hotel is like the sultan's palace and the guests get the feeling that they are royalty. At the meeting, they are treated to drinks - the children were offered delicious lemonades, tea or coffee for adults, all with sweets - delicious onions, dates, etc. The staff corresponds to this palace - everything is as delicate, inconspicuous, and fast as possible - top class. Communication in Russian is no problem. We took a room with breakfast - it takes place on the top floor - and in this hotel for the first time I came across the fact that at a buffet breakfast you don't have to walk around the room and choose food - here it is brought on carts to the table - you are sitting at a huge table with one of the best views of the Bosphorus, and past the table carts with phenomena are passing by, you just show what you need. The breakfast is very refined - for example, I counted only more than 12 types of sweet jams, more than 10 types of elite cheeses - you can continue to describe breakfast in this hotel indefinitely.
The use of the hammam is also included in the price, and it is divided into men's and women's time. There is a full-fledged spa complex - there is a swimming pool, sauna, hammam, relaxation rooms, etc. For an additional fee, the wife and daughter took a range of services in the hammam - their own with foam - in a huge amount of foam - were completely delighted.
If you are not strapped for funds or want to feel like a sultan/sultana, then definitely go here.

It's not bad for a historical center. Excellent service inside the hotel. Among the disadvantages: a narrow street , traffic jams and a big uphill climb.
The rooftop restaurant is magnificent.

An authentic hotel - a good location - very convenient to get around and quite close to popular attractions.
The service is forgetful- sometimes they forget something, they have to leave notes)))
The concierge is convenient but it seemed a little useless - some requests could not be processed) the breakfasts are delicious - the view is amazing. But in the end, it seems to me that it is overrated. A lot of emphasis was placed in the wrong place :)
In general, everything is fine.

I liked the rooms! It is very authentic and beautiful. The bathroom is just a delight. And the most important thing is the location. The main attractions are within walking distance.

The plus of this hotel is the location, 5 minutes to all the iconic sights of Istanbul, a wonderful panoramic restaurant, minus the work of the maids and the reception, they did not clean very well, and most importantly, they did not leave drinking water and shampoo twice during cleaning, although we left a request for this at the reception!

Expectation and reality did not match . It's time to update the renovation, especially in the bathroom. The website states that there is a hammam - as a result , it is not clear whether it is not there or it is broken .

Very clean, located in the very tourist center. Highly overvalued in terms of prices. We were greeted upon arrival with an offer to rent an even more expensive room (not a bonus, but active sales were engaged instead of greeting!). The whole hotel is decorated with artificial stone, like the countertop in the kitchen. Low ceilings, audibility from the hallway - woke up to the noise of the neighbors a couple of times. The beds are very soft, you sleep like in a pit, it was uncomfortable. The view from the windows at the queue of transport ships to the port and the local rusty self-construction (I took the upper floors, I could not overpay for it). Uncomfortable chairs in the room with hard backs. an uncomfortable bathroom, into which it is very difficult to step over a 30cm wide side. Instead of a hygienic shower, a bidet. There are no Russian TV channels! The area itself is not very good, there is shit, devastation and market chaos all around - Galata is much better.

The hotel positions itself as a five-star hotel. There are a lot of beautifully dressed smiling staff, they open the door at the entrance and exit, help with luggage, carved furniture in the lobby, carpets, an expensive restaurant with a view, in general, everything is as it should be to maintain a reputation. Our room was not small with 2 Windows and a "view" of the sea, a spacious bathroom with a bathtub and a bidet, clean. The interior is European, but with Turkish charm. Everything you needed was: shampoo, gel, shower cap, nail file, toothbrushes, razor, washcloths, cream, soap, towels, bathrobes, slippers, a small make-up mirror, hair dryer, all sorts of things for shoes, etc. Cosmetics, as they wrote, are expensive, but I didn't appreciate it, because I don't really understand. Each item is packed in a separate bag, even a roll of toilet paper was under a fancy cap. There was even a pillow menu and you could ask to bring, for example, an orthopedic one. The room also had free compliments from the hotel in the form of nuts and dried fruits and a paid mini-bar. The breakfasts are quite good: a large selection of cheeses, olives, fruits, vegetables, pastries, good coffee, delicious orange juice. Egg dishes can be ordered. What was missing in the room was water. The only free soda was and it wasn't brought every day. I've had enough and you've had enough. There was also no "do not disturb" sign, so we were constantly being broken into. Of course, this is not exactly a minus, you could have asked for a sign. They cleaned the room 3 times in 4 days, once they allegedly did not want to disturb us, although we were not in the room. The cleaning is bad. They change towels, stuff things in their places, but cups, for example, are not washed, new tea, water is not brought. Don't try to pay for the view! We paid for the sea view, it's not a view, it's a profanity. I'll attach a photo. They also offer to move into a corner room for a fee, the view is a little better there, but it's not worth it anyway. The location is not bad, close to the sights of the old town. But the hotel is located among the market and dirty streets, which is not very pleasant. I really hoped to visit the spa with my husband, it turned out that men and women are allowed separately. Family visits can only be arranged after 22:00. In general, the entrance to the spa is fully paid, even in the pool you just can't swim. It is a pity that I did not take pictures of the prices, but from memory about 8000 thousand rubles per visit for 40 minutes. We went to the restaurant once in the evening, the taste of the dishes is 7 out of 10, the price for 2 second courses and 2 drinks (no alcohol) is 7000 rubles. Upon departure, they were asked to pay a compulsory tip of 10 euros per day. Interestingly, when I signed this paragraph with my not very good knowledge of the language, there was no Russian-speaking staff to explain everything to me. And when I said that I didn't want to pay, because I wasn't happy with the service and generally tipped everywhere anyway, then a girl with knowledge of Russian appeared on one, two, three. Well, we paid 40 euros for 4 days at a predatory rate. To summarize, I will say that I never regret money for travel, but in this case it turns out that I bought not positive impressions, but experience. I advise you to look for another hotel in another area for your vacation.

Greetings, fellow travelers!!!
Traveling to Istanbul is a very peculiar emotion, but! Fortunately, I can only say good things about this hotel, closing my eyes to micro-flaws.
The hotel is 5 stars, the service is excellent! The transfer is met from the airport by a branded one, a person with a tablet is waiting for you and will take you to a hotel imbued with the spirit of the entire Turkish culture.
Starting from the interior and ending with delicious dinners in the restaurant!
But there's a small flaw right away, I'll tell you about it later 😁
The staff is very friendly, but not everyone speaks Russian, but they know English well, and our favorite sign language works everywhere)))
I didn't go to the hammam, but I think he's cool at the hotel... I'll have to go next time for sure 😁
The keys are convenient for rooms, you will not lose them, a leather case, everything is luxurious and rich.
The rooms look like sultan's, all the furniture looks very nice, as if it were antique.
The bathroom looks like a hammam.
And here's a small flaw... namely, it was difficult for me personally to find food for breakfast. A varied buffet, but the food is peculiar. You can order scrambled eggs / porridge / egg Benedict from the menu, etc., but the buffet is weak.
But at dinner, the whole morning picture is turned upside down!!! Bombically delicious! What's wrong with breakfast? Well, maybe I'm being picky personally.…
Upon leaving the hotel, they gave a small gift in the form of a cup, a trifle, but it's nice😁

A nice new hotel in the heart of the old town. The location is ideal for walking exits, a taxi takes you to the back of the building, check-in is inconvenient.

Impeccable service, good and frequent rooms, excellent Azerbaijani restaurant. The only disadvantage is the lack of windows to the street. Rather, there are windows, but they overlook the courtyard and it's a little dark.

Today, on November 9th, at breakfast, my wife and I waited for the ordered dish (plowing eggs) for twenty minutes. Everyone who came later brought everything to us, and they only told us that it was five minutes. They left without waiting for the order.
