Thanh 8.0

The staff are excellent, they are very warm and welcoming. You can’t beat the location, right next to the tram station which can take you everywhere in minutes, the area is very lively and not so touristy with a mall, and plenty of bars and restaurants. The room is clean and cozy

Bonita 9.0

Well designed hotel in the trendy area of Karaköy. The staff were really helpful. The bedroom and bathroom was really luxury with views over Karakoy. The spa facilities and gym are also pretty good for a city stay.

Oumaïma 8.0

Great location and very competent staff. Will come back.

Bizhan 8.0

We stayed in early July and had a pleasant experience. First off, the staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive. You really can’t ask for better service. Our room was clean and comfortable, with both AC and a fan that kept things cool. I do wonder how well it holds up in the hotter August weather. The location is excellent—walking distance to plenty of restaurants and local spots. A word of caution: the lower-priced rooms are very small, and the windows face interior walls, which makes them feel a bit claustrophobic. We ended up switching to an upgraded room and paid about 50% more. If you're booking, I’d recommend going straight for the upgraded option—it’s worth it.
