Supremely elegant room, with high ceilings, chandalier and window details. Exceedingly comfortable with an excellent bathroom. A pleasure to stay here. Supremely walkable, and exceedingly close to a 300 year old Hamman. Phenomenal staff. And finally a complementary breakfast.

I stayed here for four nights on a solo trip to İstanbul. The rooms were clean and fairly big. They did not have the newest tech, nor was I expecting it to, and the power will shut off when you're away from the room, so you might return to a much warmer room - the air conditioning also takes a while to cool the room. I was checked in my Mehmet and he told me about things that I could during my time in the city - thank you for that! He was also able to give me recommendation for dinner my first night there. The food was good albeit a bit pricey due to the area. Since then I found many other places with similar or better quality food that was significantly cheaper and also in the same area. I took the Havaist bus from the airport and walked to the hotel. It's a short walk but fairly steep uphill especially if you have baggage. The rooms were quiet for the most part. The two times it got loud was during the prayer calls and when the staff was working on the other rooms - the walls seemed like they were paper thin early in the mornings when the staff would be cleaning. Another issue I ran into was that I booked a room with a balcony but my room didn't have a balcony. I asked about it right after I checked in but was told that it was unavailable at the time even though I paid extra for it - so either don't expect to get a room with a balcony or demand a discount of some sort, which is something I should've done.
