It is a wonderful little hotel in the epicentre of everything Beyoglu has to offer. Wonderful room, everything was clean and pleasant. Two points were a bit disappointing:
1) No elevator…walking is already a given in Istanbul, but walking 5 flights up after a day of going up and down…not pleasant
2) Read the rules carefully. They say that you can only check-in from 14 to 18 or there will be additional fees. I checked-in my mother at 17:59-18:00. Then the Sabri was showing us the room. He did it out of his own volition. I don’t need such kindness if 4 minutes later at 18:04 he shows me rules on those fees and says we have to pay 10€!
It’s in very bad taste! You should always give people 5 min lag…it’s a customer-oriented policy. If we came at 18:30 - I’d have payed - no question!
But here…no, we checked-in at 17:59 and then he was just going up with us! That’s it!
The rest was really wonderful and my little incident shouldn’t deter you from staying there. Great hotel.
