My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall. The location is exceptional, surrounded by charming restaurants and cafes, some offering cold beverages. The rooms, while average in size, provided stunning views of iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque and the sea. The staff was exceptionally helpful and welcoming, offering top-class service. However, the noise level from outside was a bit disruptive. Dining was delightful with a good variety, although not extensive. The facilities were well managed and clean.

The hotel offers clean and welcoming rooms with a stunning balcony view, but lacks space for luggage and bathrooms may be small. The service is extremely friendly and helpful, although the hotel itself isn't overly impressive. The location is ideal for visiting major attractions, but taxi drop-offs can be a challenge.

The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Istanbul's historic highlights, with friendly and accommodating staff. The room, although a bit small and oddly shaped, was impeccably clean. The bustling surroundings might be a bit noisy for some. The dining options are delicious, and the location is unbeatable near key attractions.

My room was a tiny bit dated and unusually triangular-shaped due to its corner position under the restaurant. Despite being around 30m², every sound from upstairs was audible until closing time.

The hotel's location is superb, with easy access to key sites, tram, and various dining options. The rooms were elegant and spacious, but some had a slight odor issue.

My stay at the hotel was overall satisfying. The rooms were clean and had a nice bathroom, but not exactly as depicted in online images. The triangular shape and location below the restaurant made it a bit noisy during meals. The service provided by the staff was top-notch, being the best I've experienced at any hotel. The location was convenient, close to key attractions in the old city. The dining experience offered adequate options, though it could be a bit repetitive. The hotel facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
