Having stayed in Kaleici previously and suffered from the noise, the location of the hotel is remarkably quiet. It is an impressive old mansion with high ceilings and classic furnishings. Bear in mind that old houses are not as insulated as new ones, with creaking wooden stairs and floors, but to me it added to the atmosphere. When you are in the ensuite bathroom, because of the lightly transparent doors, whoever else is in the room will see the lights. Wasn't a problem for us though. And lastly, and most importantly, the hotel is run by exceptionally friendly and helpful people, who do what they can to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Liked our stay!
