Fantastic quiet bolt hole right between Taksim and Galatasary. Really close to the best shops and bars. The front of house team are v helpful for arranging tours, taxis etc. all in all, a very comfortable stay.
a beautiful conversion of old ottoman mansions melded into new builds, gorgeous decor, huge rooms, fantastic value. Very quirky street in a busy neighborhood with steep hills and stairs so be aware if you have mobility issues, or require generic and predictable surroundings.
The hotel interiors are very pretty but the bathroom in the rooms were a disaster because they had very little privacy and also the door to the toilet was so heavy that I was suer scared of opening and closing it especially in the middle of the night. Had to change rooms as a result but it was pretty much the same. Clogged up sink also did not help. Location is great if you are looking to stay in the most crowded street in the world and infact the while city was just so crowded. Overall I would stay somewhere else and also avoid Istanbul all together.
The best hotel of this trip, everything, location, facilities, cleanliness, service, so kind staff, quick check in, unfortunately I had just one day in Istanbul, but for sure next time I’ll choose this hotel againa.
The hotel is located at the end of a badly paved narrow street that can be noisy at times. Its exterior is not impressive but once inside everything changes. It is an oasis in a bustling city.
I had a large duplex room which was open plan and can sleep four. There are no separate bedrooms! While it has a kitchen no utensils are provided.
The hotel has limited facilities but there are lots of options in the vicinity. However, a good breakfast is available in a pleasant dining room until noon each day for €12.
Overall, this is an excellent property in a very central location.
Great location, the whole staff was excellent, both friendly and helpful, they went above and beyond all of our requests. Wife lost her phone during check out, and while we were at cruise port, staff searched room and all areas for us. Very cool (was in her luggage).Breakfast was great. Definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The service is outstanding. The staff are polite, helpful and very accommodating. The rooms were cleaned as expected.
The rooms leave a lot to be desired - from lack of water,brown water, to broken and damaged items and furniture it's really far from a 4 star experience. The air conditioner is a ventilation system. Obviously corners have been cut to save on repairs and updates. The view of the suite is a lovely back alley with a dumpster right under. While the location and staff are great this hotel is not worth it.
Every time I visit istanbul Room Mate Emir is my number one choice. location and comfortable rooms with soft beds and quit lovely atmosphere. Hope to be back soon ❤️
I was throughly pleased with my stay! From check in to check out, everything went smoothly!
I booked the duplex for a 10 day start and couldn’t be happier with what I got for the pricing!
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, even when they couldn’t communicate, they went out of their way to find someone that could.
The housekeeping staff is amazing!!
I loved the spa downstairs for massage. I never got to go to the breakfast restaurant but hopefully next time!
All in all, would definitely recommend!

We only stayed there for two nights, but we wished we stayed longer. The place looks brand new. A lot of areas to hang out within the hotel. The room was clean and very modern and got cleaned daily. The rainfall shower was a plus. They also had set up a sofa bed for us as requested. There was also an iron for the clothes which I alway prefer while in vacation. The location is amazing. You have everything within walking distance; cafes, restaurants, shops, galata tower, taksim square. We had a blast with our toddler, it was very quiet. They also have a spa which we didn't use. The only down thing would be a doorman to help with the luggage. Idk if they were short staffed at the time but it was only a receptionist. However it didn't spoil our stay. The wifi is fast which doesn't happen very often in Istanbul. If you have any doubts just book this place!
Fantastic place, as a design builder I was quite pleased with the design element and flow of the place. Made me feel right st home. Hammam spa built inside as well. I’ll definitely be returning when I come back.
