A wonderful hotel. This is my first review on Booking.com in 10 years. The hotel is located in the best area of Istanbul – Pera. It's on a quiet, European street. The hotel is new, opened six months ago. Immediately upon entering, you'll notice the beautiful design and high-quality materials (unlike most hotels in Istanbul, which are very old or, if new, are made of cheap, low-quality materials). The lobby is beautiful with sofas for relaxing. The cleanliness is immediately noticeable. The room cleaning was very good. This is a rarity in Istanbul. I booked the Standard room, but the hotel upgraded me to a Premium room for free. I'm very happy because the Standard rooms face a brick wall. However, I think they're not that bad. My Premium room was on the 3rd floor (the Standard rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floors, behind a brick wall). My room overlooked the quiet courtyard of the Greek Orthodox Church. Quiet nighttime is a rarity in central Istanbul. No bars, no music, just absolute silence. The room is very comfortable and quite large. Nice new bed linens. The mattress and pillows are comfortable. They provide a free large bottle of water every day. There's a Nespresso coffee machine, with four capsules daily. The bathroom has plenty of towels, slippers, a hairdryer, soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. The hotel is easy to reach by taking the Sishane metro and exiting onto Istiklal Street (I think the exit is called Tünel/Galata). Other exits are rather inconvenient. It's literally a 6-7-minute walk to the hotel. It's easy to walk even with heavy suitcases; the road is flat. Just 10 meters from the hotel, you'll find yourself on the wonderful tourist street Istiklal. The famous red trams run along it. There's a Zara and many other shops there. Galataport is a 15-minute walk away, offering a picturesque promenade, shopping mall, and a variety of cafes. - All the pillows are the same. - The minibar is expensive. - There's no body lotion, robe, or shower cap in the bathroom. There are no toothbrushes either. - They rarely check under the bed when cleaning (I found a few things from previous guests there). They also forgot to empty the desk drawers. - Regarding the reviews about money going missing from the rooms, I didn't lose anything, but I've seen many similar reviews about other hotels in Istanbul, so I either carried all valuables with me or locked them in a suitcase with a combination lock.
