PERFECT!!!! We were a group of 14 traveling from NYC to Turkey for the very first time. This hotel was just perfect for us, very convenient, clean and most polite and welcoming staff. Itโ€™s the perfect location for tourist. The guys at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and gave us some incredible recommendations of places and events, Mevlut and Mahmut deserves an award for their hospitality ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„. Love their rooftop dining, great breakfast. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Perfect location to the main attractions. Hotel is next to the Golden Horn River, 5 mins walk to the Galata bridge, to the tram station, Halic metro station and Galata Tower. Make sure to ask for a room in the new building. The smaller old building is kind of outdated. Lots of eating shops along the Golden Horn. So glad that I chose this hotel. Hotel also has a rooftop restaurant with excellent views.

We found the hotel to be clean and the staff to be friendly. The shower was great and the restaurant at the top of the hotel was excellent. When we go back to Istanbul, we will be staying at this hotel again.

We had a great time. There were details that could use some improvement (the room cleaning was just good enough, the sink was slow to drain). The breakfast buffet was good. The location was perfect! The staff were helpful and nice. Overall very satisfied and would return.

Liked: Cleanliness
I stayed at this hotel in 2012 and would say it was better then. The breakfast was better then. The air conditioning in our room was not cold enough even set at 16 degrees. The mattresses in the rooms where not the most comfortable and far too soft. The room window would not close tightly and hence could hear the traffic all night long. The rooms were clean, showers were also good, however in some of the other rooms my party stayed in the shower cubicles were tiny. Front reception staff were nice, Ilker and Mahmud. Staff at breakfast time were not very friendly either. Best thing about this hotel is the view from the roof restaurant area, overlooking the city.

A hotel ultimately rests on the quality of its staff and the staff here are amazing from Ali and reception staff to the excellent Peninsula restaurant staff - with a special mention to Besat and the lovely cleaning and service staff. The room was spotlessly clean with fantastic views over the city from tbd rooftop restaurant. I would happily stay here again and recommend unreservedly .
