"Stayed in December
Staff are excellent and lean over backwards to help.
Accommodation I was everything required and was qyiet even though it’s a busy location with lots of good bars and restaurants to choose from.
Location is fantastic for all the big tourist sites, no more than 15 minutes even for pier for Bosporus cruises or the Topkapi palace.
Would be my first choice when I return to Istanbul."
"Great hotel and staff!
The room has a great location, with 10% discount at the restaurant and free bottles of water, tea, coffee and baclava is definitely a plus on the staying.
Totally recommend!"

Well priced, clean, safe, great location - this hits all of my requirements."

The breakfast addition to our booking was an excellent value: beautiful and carefully prepared food with great service. The dining room has an expansive view of the City and harbor area.
Excellent dining directly across the street — Mivan has a great variety of savory local foods.
This is a highly recommended property. I would definitely stay here again!"
"The property was close to attractions and shops, roads were cobbly. Bed was comfy, there was a toilet but you could see into side , curtains might have been more better and discrete. A lovely spacious room with air conditioning."
