I was pleasantly surprised by our room setup, which was perfect for me and my friend. The room was spacious and had a very appealing design. It was separated from the other room with locked doors, not walls, which wasn't clear from the booking pictures. The room was at a good temperature and at no extra charge.

The hotel had nice, clean, comfortable rooms with a very stylish vintage design. However, the actual rooms did not match the ones in the booking pictures. The service was extremely helpful and hospitable, with accommodating English-speaking staff. The location was safe but could get loud in the mornings. The dining options were ordinary, and the hotel's facilities were well-maintained.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The suite arrangement was so amazing, with locked doors separating it from the other room, offering extra privacy. The rooms were nice, clean, comfortable, and had a very nice vintage design. The service impressed me very much indeed, as the staff was perfect, very friendly, and supportive all the time. The location, although full of steep hills, was very good, being halfway between the Asian and European zones and very close to the iconic Galata Tower. The dining experience was good, with whole grain bread and real bean coffee, but it could have benefitted from more variety. A fabulous hotel overall, with great facilities and lovely ambiance.

I had a great stay at the hotel! The room was exactly like the one in the booking pictures, which was amazing. The staff is really nice and helpful, and they even carried my bags up to Halic metro station. The location is a bit loud in the early morning due to nearby shops opening, but it's very safe at night and perfect for a good night's sleep. The dining experience was fresh and super yummy, offering whole grain bread and real bean coffee.

The hotel surprised me with its unique room setup. Although the bathroom was spacious and clean, it was separated from the other room by locked doors instead of a regular wall, which was not as expected from the booking pictures. The staff were incredibly accommodating and kind, providing an amazing service experience. The location, while safe and quiet at night, faced some challenges with noise in the early mornings and occasional room odors. The dining experience offered decent options but could use more variety. Overall, the hotel facilities were satisfactory.

I found this hotel to be a mixed bag of positives and some drawbacks. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and had a very appealing design. However, the fact that they were separated from the adjacent room only by locked doors, not walls, was a bit unexpected as it wasn't evident from the booking pictures. On the bright side, the room temperature was just right, and there were no additional charges for it, which was a nice touch.
