8/10 Very Good! (337 reviews)
The hotel was right near the busy shopping street, which made it perfect for us. It’s walking distance from the Galata Tower and has lots of transportation options. Food options were plentiful and if you are in Istanbul for the night life it’s one of the places to be. I stayed Wednesday through to Friday, the first night was quiet no noise from the street. But Thursday heading to the weekend was very noisy sound like a birthday party was happening under our bedroom window until 3am, so bear that in mind if you wanted a quiet stay. Also I booked the breakfast included options and the view of the city was amazing from there. All in all I would book again but mid week though.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Not too much to see, a little overrated and too touristy for my taste.

Amazing for people watching and shopping down side streets.

Food is excellent in Istanbul. Stay away from hotel staff recommandations, you end up paying a lot more for less. Sultan Ahmet fish house is a must, great food and service, All the old Mosques are a piece of art, TopKapi is a must visit. Several malls to choose from, from middle of the road to the best name brands. Grand Bazar is an experience not to be missed.
