    missing amenities

    Great location near popular attractions.

    My experience was quite frustrating. The reception couldn't arrange a taxi for us, forcing us to walk to our next destination. Little things, like a kettle in the room, were missing, reflecting a lack of attention to guest comfort. Overall, these inconveniences overshadowed the stay.

    The rooftop terrace offers stunning views of the Bosphorus, making relaxation a must! Plus, the garden suite with a private hamam-style bath was pure bliss.

    cozy suite
    rooftop terrace
    beautiful garden
    tricky staircase

    Our family had a fantastic time in a cozy suite with a mini fridge and kettle, and our kids loved their own little space! We spent relaxing evenings on the rooftop terrace and enjoyed the beautiful garden during breakfast. Just a heads-up that the spiral staircase could be a bit tricky for some, but it didn't dampen our stay at all! 😊

    very nice breakfast
    helpful staff

    Ideal for couples seeking a unique experience

    The breakfast was very nice, a good mix of local flavors and fresh options, served in the charming garden. Plus, the staff were like a family, especially the ladies cooking breakfast who genuinely made you feel at home.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain but considering the experience, it was acceptable.

    charming hotel
    peaceful garden

    lovely stay with character

    Cozy and charming hotel with rooms that have an old Istanbul feel. My double room was clean, with a private bathroom and a little terrace. The garden is peaceful, a perfect escape after exploring the bustling streets. Breakfast was fresh, and the staff was super friendly, knowing my coffee order right away. Great views from the rooftop.

    I loved my stay at Empress Zoe! The charming Ottoman decor creates such a cozy atmosphere, and the serene garden provided a perfect retreat after exploring the historical sites nearby. The only challenge was navigating the steep staircases, but the warm hospitality made it a good experience overall.
