Exactly what we expected and exactly as advertised! The 7th Fl restaurant was outstanding! Mustafa the morning manager makes you feel like a friend! Ahmet at the front desk had everything prepared exactly as requested. Thank you all for making our visit to Istanbul so memorable! Also, the location was perfect. 10 minute walk to the port for cruise ships. 5 minute walk to catch the ferry to the Asian side of Istanbul and other places. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Fantastic lodging! We showed up before our room was ready so they let us shower in an open room and gave us free breakfast which was outstanding. Everyone was incredibly nice and the views from the restaurant were incredible. We will definitely be back!

Stayed with the family. Hotel is a hidden jem, staff is great. Service and cleanliness is top notch. The staff provided everything we wanted for our stay. Orhan and hakan at the front desk were amazing and ready to help with everything. Bosporus view is astonishing and very refreshing. we stayed at sea view room. Hotel has a the best location with a walking distance to most Istanbul attractions and historic site. Great restaurants around with some of the best ones in Istanbul.

Fantastic Stay at Hotel de Reve
Hotel de Reve was a delight. The staff were incredibly —especially the breakfast and reception teams. The traditional Turkish breakfast was delicious, the room spotless and comfortable, and the location perfect for exploring Istanbul on foot. The restaurant views were simply stunning.
Highly recommended!

First, I must say it was an awesome location, not only to walk up to the bazaar and the city. But also it was about a 15 minute walk to the cruise ship MSC where we had to go.
It is small and personal. The room was just absolutely amazing decorated and very artsy trendy boutique style. It is right off of Main Street so you will hear a little bit of the hustle and bustle down below.
The rooftop restaurant was absolutely amazing and the chef Mustafa was just so wonderful and warm would stay here again and highly recommend to others.

Perfect location for exploring Istanbul on foot. Travelling for work, but with a little time to explore, having such a central location enabled me to combine the two. The rooftop breakfast each morning was delicious, with friendly and helpful staff ensuring I had everything I needed. The front desk staff were also incredibly kind and helpful throughout. The room was large and comfortable. I would definitely return and highly recommend.
