The atmosphere is steeped in rich history, capturing the essence of its 19th-century roots. The rooftop terrace offers a charming spot to enjoy drinks and soak in the views of bustling city life below.

Wi-Fi struggles to keep up, making streaming a chore and pushing you to venture out for a decent connection. The bathroom is due for an upgrade—old and cramped, which is a bit of a letdown given the potential this place holds. Even with the windows shut, street noise is relentless, creating a challenge for a good night's sleep.

I loved my stay! The historical charm of the place captured me instantly, and the rooftop bar overlooking the Golden Horn is a total gem. The architecture is stunning, and despite the simplicity of the breakfast, it had everything I needed. The staff were attentive and made me feel at home. an authentic experience! ☀️

The unique historical charm of the Grand Hotel captivated me right from the start. The terrace view overlooking the Bosphorus was simply breathtaking, a perfect spot for morning coffee. I appreciated the art deco furnishings, reflecting the character of days gone by. The staff frequently smiled and offered assistance, which made my stay more enjoyable. While the room was spacious, the lack of air conditioning was quite uncomfortable, especially at night. I found the bathroom amenities lacking and cleanliness could be improved. Breakfast options were minimal, fitting the basic standard for Turkish hotels but didn’t necessarily meet my expectations. The vibrant yet noisy street outside kept me awake at times. the hotel’s value for money in such a central location cannot be overlooked.

The hotel's breathtaking rooftop views offered us a perfect spot to unwind after our treks. Its historical charm and ambiance added to our unique experience. The attentive and friendly staff were always eager to assist, and the culinary offerings at breakfast truly reflected local flavors.

We encountered some cleanliness issues during our stay.

Charming rooftop bar atmosphere

This was a well-suited match for a quick stopover in Istanbul with great value-to-price ratio. Enjoyed the rooftop terrace for evening drinks, which had a fantastic view. Check the closing times of the bar to avoid issues with service.

We loved exploring the vibrant energy of Taksim, with its buzzing cafes and lively atmosphere. It was perfect for family outings, and my nephew particularly enjoyed the local bookstores. The hotel's ambiance added charm to our adventures.

In my wife’s opinion, more breakfast variety would be great.

Had a fantastic time enjoying the charming rooftop bar with its stunning views and soaking in the rich, authentic decor. The lovely garden provided a peaceful escape, perfect for sipping coffee and relaxing. The only drawback was a slight issue with the bathroom setup, but it didn't ruin my experience. definitely check this place out! ☀️

Historic charm with modern touch

Had an amazing time soaking up the vibes and history of this place! The terrace bar for sunset drinks was a total highlight, but the room could’ve used a bit more TLC. Staff were super friendly and always down to help, and breakfast was decent. If you love a good story in a hotel, this is the spot!

great atmosphere, but needs some improvement

The location and value are hard to beat. , The terrace bar offered a fantastic city view that elevated my evenings. I appreciated the friendly staff who consistently made me feel welcomed and supported during my stay, adding a personal touch to the experience.

The amenities in the bathroom could use enhancement.
