A very beautiful and atmospheric hotel in your favorite area of Istanbul. Ideal for couples or outings with friends. This is not the first time we have stopped. The rooms and halls have a very beautiful vintage-style interior. Ateler rebul cosmetics.
One of the disadvantages is poor sound insulation. The first time we checked in with a view of Istiklal, the view is very beautiful, but the noise covers everything, besides there is a nightclub nearby and the vibrations are strong on weekends. Therefore, I recommend taking rooms with a view of the courtyard, darker but more comfortable to sleep in. Be sure to visit the top floor where there is a beautiful bar.
A very interesting hotel in an old building. The fantastically beautiful interior is a mix of classics and Art Deco; many items have been carefully preserved, and the air is filled with exquisite aromas from Atelier Reboul.
But there are disadvantages, or rather features - the hotel is located in the very center, facing Istiklal Avenue, it is noisy outside the window around the clock. There is literally a nightclub behind the wall, and during the season it booms with bass until 3 a.m. If you are planning a quiet vacation, the hotel is not for you. Rather, it is for those who want to immerse themselves in urban life and feel the pulse of one of the largest megacities in the world.
A very interesting hotel. 9/10
There are some peculiarities and disadvantages.
+ This is an old building where a former tailor worked. Therefore, the interior is very elegant, with carvings, decorations on the walls, exhibitions and a specific arrangement, like in a museum. We really liked the interior.
+ The subtle aroma of the hotel, excellent cleaning, good service, responsive staff. They satisfied all our requests and always came to the rescue.
+ We occupied an inner room - there is no exit to the street, but it is very quiet and dark without light.
+ Stunning terrace for views and relaxation.
+ Taxim Central Street, with easy access to popular places. (But it's always noisy, with a crowd of tourists)
+ The staff quickly deals with rowdies and anyone who violates the peace and order of the hotel. One couple who settled in the evening was escorted out at lunch the next day because of the noise and scandals.
Features rather than disadvantages:
- We did not order breakfast on the terrace because of the high prices. We found the nearest other places for meals with lower prices and equally delicious dishes.
- Those who book a room with access to the street should take into account the noise of the street and the music from the nightclub located directly opposite the hotel. They are given earplugs.
