Great location for walking round the historic cultural centre of Istanbul, across to Galata and transport options beyond. Absolutely amazing boutique hotel with a unique shady, private garden for evenings over a g+t and breakfasts too. Buffet breakfast delicious, with freshly baked pastries, wide range of cheeses, fruit and some cooked dishes too. Staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful, giving recommendations for eating out locally and in Galata beyond the tourist trail. The hotel arranged a private taxi from the airport and back too. Couldn't give a higher recommendation!
