What a special place, my friend and i had beautiful suites that included a terrace for outside enjoyment. The rooms were appointed well with nice bedding and lounging spaces. Staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Yunus at the front desk was so helpful. Offering loads of info, assisting with cabs, phone calls and lots more. Efil was a wonderful room attendent. She made sure it was immaculate and replenished with loads of water. There is a nice restaurant, Il cortile which was really pleasant with courtyard dinner alfresco style. Food was very good and the service was too. Couldn’t recommend this more highly and the location was perfect.

I know it may sound like a cliche, but if we could send 10 stars we would! From the email responses before we arrived to a farewell present that we received the Hotel, and most importantly the staff were INCREDIBLE! Front of house staff Natalia, Batman and Goberk, were attentative and very helpful and happy to deal with which ever needs we had. Our room was cleaned immaculetly every day by the lovely Elif! Breakfast was so much to choose from and no matter that we asked for things not on the menu we were accommodated ! All was so good we are going to come again!! Thank You Ecole! x

Heartfelt Appreciation to the Wonderful Hotel Team I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the hotel staff — from the reception team to the restaurant staff and housekeeping. Everyone was genuinely kind, attentive, and always willing to help with a warm smile. Special thanks to Younes, Natalia, and Elif, as well as other team members whose names I couldn’t record but whose kindness I will never forget. Their hospitality and professionalism made my stay truly pleasant and memorable. Every day, I was touched by the thoughtful gesture of finding cakes and sweets accompanied by beautiful handwritten notes — a lovely detail that reflected the care and warmth of the entire team. Thank you all for making my stay so special and for creating such a welcoming atmosphere that truly felt like home ❤️ 1B 28 Oct - 1 NOV MAHA & AMINAH

Highly recommend this welcoming spot. This small yet luxurious boutique hotel nestled near the Galata Tower was perfect for our Istanbul getaway. The whole team is super thoughtful and attentive. They worked with us before our trip to help plan (restaurants, hamam, sightseeing). During the trip they were always available and helpful. The room was chic and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Note, we emailed them directly and got a better rate than online. Extra kudos to Yunus who took particular care of us during our trip and made sure we were taken care of with genuine hospitality. Thank you to the whole team!
