Make sure you stay in the double room with extra single bed as well as fridge. The location of the venue is marvellous, next to tourist attraction, historic Sultanahmet and a historic centre of Istambul, close to main attractions.

I loved the cozy atmosphere , especially the standout cleanliness and comfortable bedding. The hotel's sauna and Turkish bath were fantastic spots to unwind after a day of exploring. Just a heads-up, the breakfast could get a bit crowded, but it didn't take away from my overall experience! 😊

Really good location, unique rooftop dining, accessibility to public transport
The rooms are too small for comfort!!! Noise issues from the street significantly hit the experience!!! The hotel layout can be confusing for new guests, leading to unnecessary frustration!!! Maintenance of communal areas needs urgent attention!!!

The stay included a good variety in the Turkish breakfast, with tasty dishes, a welcomed start to each day. Cleanliness was a standout, with daily towel changes and a meticulous attention to room maintenance. The average coffee served at breakfast could be improved, and crowded dining conditions sometimes made it challenging to fully enjoy the meals. The noise from nearby areas occasionally disturbed the peaceful ambiance we sought.

Stayed at raymond blue to celebrate my birthday and it was so great! The location was perfect for exploring, and the staff were helpful. My previous visits to the city felt ordinary, but this experience was nice.
wifi was slow and unreliable.

Perfect location with a rooftop gem!
I enjoyed my stay, especially the rooftop restaurant with amazing views and made every evening special. The proximity to major attractions allowed us to explore the city without hassle, and the cleanliness of the rooms contributed to a pleasant experience. One small area for improvement would be enhancing the breakfast variety, as it could occasionally feel repetitive.

great location but steep climb
The location of the hotel is fantastic. Just 10 minutes from major landmarks. The staff offered a warm welcome and. We enjoyed the lovely city view from our room, especially in the evening light.
There is a steep hill to climb to get back to the hotel.

The staff was super friendly. The location is a big plus, within walking distance to major attractions like Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia. Breakfast was tasty, keeping us energized for our adventures. The tram stop is also just around the corner.
One downside was that the bathrooms were a bit of a mess after showers, as water would pool on the floor. It was a minor inconvenience but something to be aware of.

Comfortable and trendy rooms here! They come with a cool electronic key card, tea/coffee setup, and a flat-screen TV with all the channels. You also get fluffy feather pillows and a cozy bed for a good night's sleep. 😊.
