After a long flight and taxi ride from the hotel the welcome by the hotel staff was superb. You immediately felt valued and at home.
The Terrace, set within a smattering of pomegranate and walnut trees in which sparrows and doves sat, was like Shangri-la amidst the network of hotels, roads and lanes outside. The food was excellent both quality and range whether it was evening dining or breakfast. Once more the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly coupled with a professional delivery.
We visited in a group of 9 friends and our rooms were all different and ranging from good to very good.
The Lobby/Lounge area oozed relaxion with a variety of comfortable soft furnished sofas and to add to the service there was 24 hour complimentary coffee/tea available.
A wonderful time staying at this hotel. Staff, rooms, dining, location all spot on.

The breakfast was wonderful :) the staff at breakfast and the bell boys were lovely.
Where do I start? All the managers and customer relation managers were absolutely grumpy, unapproachable and unhelpful. While the room seemed decorated well, it was on the 4th floor and no lift. Being our first experience in Istanbul, we were severely put off by the dismissive and callous nature of the managers. When asked for basic things like recommendations, water in the room etc, we were told to ask if needed and if it was over or to go on Google and check. For a place called Garden House- Special Class it clearly seemed that they were catering to a more white population and had a disdain for us, even though we paid in advance. We unfortunately had to book here a second time, given that one of the managers said he'd get back to us on keeping our luggage after staying for 3 nights and the next manager who took his place had no clue about the arrangements and asked us to rebook, thereby hassling us quite early in the morning, just before our flight due to the lack of internal communication.
Additionally, it is located at the mid-base of the hill so every way of commuting, whether it's cabs or tours, no one wants to pick up from there. Needless to say, we trudged up and down hill multiple times (sometimes with luggage) just because of this inconvenience and all their fees were a good 50% more than the average rates.
