This is my second time at the Stay. I love the location, friendly staff and low key luxury. It’s truly a boutique hotel-so don’t expect a big flashy lobby or lots of amenities- but so much attention to detail and great service. I was traveling alone for a medical procedure and I felt very cared for and pampered. The housekeeping team did a wonderful job everyday- special thanks to Nour, Hatijah and their supervisor Tuna. The doormen are all so friendly and helpful often noticing me approach with heavy bags and running to help or offer to deliver to my room so I could keep going.
The location is perfect because you are in a very clean, safe and walkable neighborhood with tons of boutiques, cafes and restaurants but still only a short taxi ride to the important sights (visited the Basilica cisterns for the first time and highly recommend). I was lucky it was a holiday so traffic was light. From the Stay I walked 30 minutes to Taxim and then another 30 down Istiklali St to Galata Tower and then the Pera district with great views of the Bosphorus.
I loved my room with street view and small balcony but if you are a light sleeper, a back facing room might be quieter.
Great city, great people, great hotel. Hope to be back!
