Description

location: Perfect location. Between Sirkeci andamp; Sultanahmet, in the same street that the famous cistern and close to every important attraction in the old part of the city; the Blue Mosque or Ayia Sophia are just 5 minutes away. The famous market is 10 minutes walking from the hotel and the tram station is at the bottom of the same street. Its great location combines perfectly quietness and proximity of the mayor interesting points of Istanbul. rooms: The hotel has been recently renovated in a perfect combination of modern style with ottoman touches here and there to give a great and mixed feeling of comfort. The hotel has only 25 rooms giving the guest a feeling of personalise. His owner with many years of experience in hotel business guarantees the service and quality of his hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated with expensive materials in the bed linens or curtains. The use of the lights in the rooms is perfect also. The bathrooms, even being slightly small, are functional, nice and modern. restaurant: This is maybe one of the best selling points of this hotel; the restaurant is on the top of the building and in our opinion may have the best views of the whole Istanbul. It nearly gives the possibility of a 360 panoramic view; from the Golden Horn and Galata Tower, to the whole old city and the bosphorus. The atmosphere and food are great, with a really nice selection in the menu. We recommend to taste at least once in your stay. exterior: The hotel is in a corner building from the beggining of the 20th century and already the door gives the information that has been originally created in art deco style. lobby: The lobby is small but again, stylish. A bright red sofa and some chairs are the seating area of the bar, there is glass table as reception and information desk and the soundless lift and beautiful stairs make the whole reception area. general: We highly recommend this hotel. The service is perfect, the location is great, the views are unbeatable and its nicely designed. (JMG 06/08)
