We were staying at the hotel des arts for 4 nights and had the best time there! The room was gorgeous, the bath was clean and beautiful. If you were entering the balcony you could directly see the galata tower and underneath the small street of beyoglu with cafes and restaurants. The location was perfect and you could reach everything on this side of Istanbul within a 10 minutes walk. The staff was very friendly and gave us a lot of great tips where we should go. I would choose this hotel over and over again if I will come to Istanbul again and can 100% recommend this hotel!
