The location of the hotel is great and close to everything, but it's on a steep hill which makes it really tiring, especially when you're heading out for breakfast or walking around.
The room they gave us was spacious, which I appreciated, but unfortunately, it wasn't very clean. The bed was also uncomfortable and felt uneven.
Another downside was that the room was located far from the main hotel building, so it felt like we were staying somewhere completely different. That was pretty inconvenient.
Overall, the experience wasn't completely bad, but there are definitely things that need improvement for a better stay.

I booked a hotel to stay one night in the main hotel after we arrive we checked in the hotel. They took us to completely different location which is it was a rooms part of apartment and horrible view completely different from the main hotel and after all this negotiation with them we were literally five minutes away from the main hotel trying to change the room day they refused. They were asking for another €50 to have like a bigger room or different rooms, and we decide to leave the hotel to not stay and they refuse to get refund .
They do not tell the customers this is completely different building from the main hotel and they uploaded the picture on the website which is the main hotel which I am gonna upload it from the fourth picture afterward you can see the different between the picture they put from the apartment, which is nearly 4/5 minutes away from the main hotel

This hotel is a big scam we had ,pre booked the hotel one month ago and when we reached the hotel to check in they said the hotel is fully packed . so they had arranged substitute accommodation for us and it was not standard we were expecting(really low standards , curtains over there was not able to close properly)and it was not value for money

This was the worst experience in our travels. The room was so small we couldn't open our suit cases. The room smelled and had a dirty carpet. The room was over the train very loud, don't expect to sleep. The area is questionable and told by locals it's a dangerous area. We decided to switch hotels even though we already paid it was worth leaving!! The front desk clerk was very angry and unbeknownst to us told the taxi driver to take us to the bus stop. Luckily the taxi driver spoke English. Would not recommend 😕

Lovely, traditional hotel. My room was compact but had everything I need ~ including a little balcony!
Amazing views of the city from on top of the hill; The pool and view from the sunbathing area is stunning.
Helpful staff and option to book tours from there too.
Very delicious breakfast!

It's a nice cosy place in Istanbul where we spend a day between two trips.
The hotel occupies several beautifully renovated old buildings on top of the hill. You'll get a stunning view on the harbour and the city.
The room was as expected - not big, but warm and clean. The only minor thing you should consider - it's wet there (because of the climate and the sea) so if you are allergic to mold, you need to choose your room carefully.
Breakfast was good and the stuff superb and very welcoming ❤
The train station is right below the hill so it's easy to travel around the area. There are also lots of shops and cafes below.
Loved this place!

We stayed at this hotel from 23.03.2025 to 28.03.2025. We took a superior room with a view of the Bosphorus. The room was clean, cleaned daily. A quiet and peaceful place with a gorgeous common veranda with a wonderful view. Breakfast is a buffet, there is enough of everything. In general, I recommend the hotel.

Magnificent hotel overlooking the sea. Very good room cleaning, varied breakfast. The hotel staff help with all your needs and the evening tea is excellent. The hotel has retained its historical appearance inside. Although it was not indicated that they spoke Russian, they communicated calmly, there was no language barrier.
With the help of this hotel we got acquainted with the famous Turkish hospitality.
We will definitely come back here again.

Good hotel.
The hotel and room are very beautiful.
Good location - next to Eminönü, but on the mountain. The view from the terrace is stunning - over the bay, Galata Bridge, Galata Tower. Breakfast is delicious buffet style. Very nice staff.
The cleaning was not done wholeheartedly, but it was acceptable. There is some black mold in the bathtub, the toilet lid kept wanting to escape. And in one place in the room there was a leak on the ceiling, water rarely dripped - we didn’t even hear it, but one sneaker got wet =) This is not critical considering that the building is historical. Overall - very good.
