Amazing hotel - this is my second time staying at this hotel. I would come back again if I need too. We booked a your and our tour guide Baver was great. He was polite and friendly. He took extra care as I was with my elderly mum. Would highly recommend.

If you are looking for a place where it is close to all the historical places, well this is it. Very clean, nice, quiet and family freindly hotel. Amazing breakfast. Lunch and Dinner must try.

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the staff treated us great. The rooms where amazing. The service great. And the location is very good if you want to visit areas in Sultanahmad.

My wife and I were absolutely astonished by the level of service we received throughout our stay. From arrival to departure, every member of the staff delivered a level of professionalism and warmth that is rarely matched — especially the bell and luggage team, whose attentiveness set a high standard from the beginning. Yet, to highlight only one department would be unfair, as the consistency in excellence was evident in every corner of this hotel. What sets this hotel apart, even among luxury properties, is its extraordinary attention to detail, particularly in the rooms. The design is a masterclass in understated elegance. Natural wood features, ornate ceiling detailing, and indirect lighting create a warm, refined atmosphere. The furniture — accented with mother-of-pearl inlays — speaks of craftsmanship rarely seen today. Even the light switches, which appear to be made from bronze or a similar artisanal metal, are a reminder that nothing here was left to chance. The rugs, textures, and finishes throughout the room elevate the sense of comfort into something almost ceremonial. The hotel’s small size makes it feel exclusive and personal, adding to the feeling that you’re in a private home rather than a commercial property. It is clear that every element has been carefully curated, not just for beauty but to enhance the guest’s sensory experience. Yes, this hotel is priced above the average for Istanbul — but in every sense, the value exceeds the cost. For anyone looking for a true luxury experience, where aesthetic, comfort, and service align perfectly, this is, without a doubt, the finest place to stay in Istanbul.
