The hotel that hit right in the heart!
Ideal location in the Karakey area — everything interesting is nearby:
• stunning waterfront with cafes, shops and a museum of modern art,
• 3 breathtaking mosques,
• a lively street with bars, cafes and the legendary mackerel shawarma,
• Karakey Pier,
• only 10 minutes to Galata Tower and 15 minutes to Istiklal.
There is one important caveat: there is a minaret with a megaphone right across the street. Morning prayer will wake you up, and if you wake up easily and find it difficult to fall asleep again, take this into account when choosing.
We lived in both deluxe and standard rooms. Of course, the deluxe is more comfortable, more spacious, with a huge bed. But the standard is also quite comfortable. Additional items were brought on request. A blanket, pillows, and an iron are all operational.
The breakfasts are modest, they take place on a small covered terrace, the tables are crowded. But, as our experience in three hotels in Istanbul has shown, meager breakfasts are more the norm.
And I can't help but say about the lobby — it's a great example of interior design with a capital letter. An incredible combination of textures, ornaments, colors and art objects. It's not just about relaxation, it's about experience, being in such interiors is an inspiration in itself.

The hotel is good, but it is clear that absolutely no one is engaged in it, it is poorly cleaned. The breakfasts are not delicious, the staff doesn't care about you, they don't do anything. They walk foot by foot!!! Nothing happens until you complain to the hotel manager. The tables, walls, and floors in the restaurant are dirty and stained!!! No one cleans properly!!!
The rooms are small, the main thing is not to be accommodated in a room with a narrow small window overlooking the neighboring rooms))). No room cleaning!!! In general, it is a complete disappointment, as is the whole city of Istanbul.
The advantages of the hotel are the location. The advantages of Istanbul are its views and the Bosphorus))).

I put 4 and not 3 in advance. I hope they will improve
But who writes about the breakfasts that they liked them. They are clearly exaggerating!
The breakfasts are very poor and bad!
I only ate buns with chocolate paste!
My wife didn't eat!
And the child was fed porridge brought with him from Russia
The room is not big (although we had one of the smallest on the floor)
The hotel is located equally far from various places for walking on this shore!
