Fraser, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and genuinely welcoming. The staff were attentive, warm and always ready to help without feeling overbearing — a balance many hotels aim for but rarely nail this well. The room was spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable. You can tell great care goes into maintaining the space and ensuring guests feel at home. Small touches, like the quality amenities and thoughtful room setup, really made a difference. Overall, this hotel exceeded expectations. The service, comfort, and attention to detail made our stay memorable. I would absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuinely great hotel experience.

Well located in walking distance to Galataport area and transportation of all forms. Easy to get taxi or take trams. Can walk to old district and sight see. Main complaint was the noise at night.
