Reviews
We politely requested a refund or at least a gesture of goodwill, such as reimbursing us for the breakfast we had paid for, but the owner refused. As a result, we left before the end of our stay and had to rent another hotel room at our own expense.
To provide more details and paint a clear picture of this nightmare:
Bathroom
The sink was incredibly uncomfortable to use, and there wasn’t even a glass provided for a toothbrush.
The bathroom had black mould, and the shower barely worked. After taking a shower, water flooded everywhere.
There was no place to hang outerwear or towels, so we had to take a chair from the living room and put it in the bathroom.
Kitchen
There wasn’t even a dishwashing sponge, and the stovetop burners were stored in a cupboard, leaving nothing functional to cook with.
Bedroom
The bed was noisy and incredibly uncomfortable. You could feel the springs poking through the mattress, and it wasn’t even one big bed but two small ones awkwardly pushed together.
The pillowcases were yellowed, some even bordering on brown.
The wardrobe was positioned so close to the bed that accessing it required contortions.
The room was both cold and noisy, making it impossible to relax or sleep comfortably.
Living Room
The appliances were outdated, and the sofas were broken.
The layout was poorly designed, with two oversized sofas crammed into the space, blocking easy access to the small balcony. The balcony itself overlooked the service stairs, which felt far from safe.
General Cleanliness
The entire apartment was filthy. The sheets ranged from yellow to brown, the floor was stained, and there was visible mould in the bathroom.
These people are simply taking your money without offering even the most basic level of service. The experience was a disaster from start to finish.
Rooms are not very large, but all you need is there + small kitchen in every room which is very convenient.
The only disadvantage - they don't have included breakfast (you can only book extra breakfast for your room, they will bring it).
Staff is very helpful, prices for taxi is adorable (they can book it for you).
There is elevator.
The area is also great, minutes walk from Galataport and Istiklal Street. Right under the hotel, we found our perfect spot for great breakfast at the Lavender Café. The hotel front desk person during the morning shift was an joy and very helpful. I felt so bad we had no cash left when we checked out to give him a deserving tip. We would certainly consider coming back to this place should we find ourselves in Istanbul again.
Our room had a wonderful balcony for enjoying a morning coffee or evening tea, surveilling the quiet neighborhood and watching shops open or close for the day.
However, most notably, the service was above and beyond. We had to quickly relocate to this hotel due to a horrible experience at another hotel in the area, and they acted fast to help us get a room and get settled in for the night. Even more so, they offered recommendations and helped with reservations when we asked.
We were incredibly grateful for a nice place to stay with great service. We highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a hotel slightly off the beaten path with exceptional service.
The location was perfect for us as it was close to Galata Tower, the new Galata Port and to Karakoy area. Not to mention it is a short tram ride away from the old city where the historic attractions are.
The hotel itself is quite unique, the room we had was clean and well maintained. The elevator was quite small but it wasn't an issue for us since we stayed on the 2nd floor. There isn't much of a view for our room but we did not mind since we were out most of the day exploring the beautiful Istanbul.
The Staff were amazing, very helpful and courteous. They speak very good English and took care of our needs. We even got to choose what kind of pillows we wanted in our room!
There are cafe's, bakeries and little restaurants next to the hotel and very unique shops as well.
We also booked the airport transfer ride through the hotel and the taxi driver was perfectly on time.
Thanks to the Staff for making our stay pleasant.
If I come back to Istanbul I’ll stay here again.
See you and thank you!
They cleaned our room every single day like it was the first day. The staff was extremely kind and always helpful in any way! But here is in detail all our experience during our 16 days stays.
LOCATION
The hotel is strategically positioned between Karakoy and Galata. 5 mins walk to Galata Tower and 7-8 mins walk to the Galata bridge. It was close to a metro station as well, but to be honest, we like to walk and we always walked in 15 days without never taking any metro.
It's so well connected that all the major attraction are 20-25 mins walking distance.
STAFF
I've been to a lot of places and this was one of the best if not the best staff I've ever met. They're all young guys, in the 20-30's and they're all extremely kind and helpful. We usually talked through WhatsApp because was the easiest method for the both parties and also because they always answered our questions within minutes.
They also offer laundry service (for a fee).
Room/Hotel
The hotel itself is an old building as you might imagine from the name, but the rooms are well renovated.
Our room had basically EVERYTHING including a little kitchen area and a small balcony. The room itself was small, but it was so well organized that it didn't feel like it. If you take a look at the pictures, it seems to be bigger than it actually is.
If you're planning to see Netflix, make sure to bring an Android TV or maybe an HDMI cable to connect it to your PC because the tv was not smart (not sure if all the TVs are the same though).
One downside, maybe the only one, was that the rooms are not soundproofed.
