    amazing views
    ideal location

    The location is perfect for exploring, and the electric kettle was a nice touch. Captivating views from the balcony made my stay good. I loved how the staff helped arrange my cab and shared great local tips for sight-seeing.

    Felt completely happy, no reason to complain.

    diverse breakfast
    helpful staff
    central location
    thin walls
    steep slope

    The breakfast spread was a delightful feast, featuring a vast array of cheeses and traditional Turkish dishes that transported me straight into the heart of Istanbul's culinary scene. The staff were beyond helpful, easily accommodating all our requests with a smile, making our stay feel like home. Oh, and the location? Just a hop away from Galata Tower and surrounded by charming eateries like Yuksek Restaurant & Bar!

    All was great, but the room had some thin walls—definitely felt like I was part of my neighbors' conversations. that hill? It’s a real cardio workout every time you head back to the hotel. Still, the fun and flavors of Istanbul made it all worth it.

    unique breakfast
    local culture
    central location
    difficult access

    Centrally located near Galata Tower. access to artisan shops and local culture is easy. The unique Turkish breakfast offers a taste of local flavors that stand out.

    Navigating the hill which the hotel sits on can be quite a hassle, especially if you're hauling luggage or have any mobility issues. The rooms are smaller than advertised, leaving me struggling to find space for my bags. Soundproofing could use some work, as I could hear conversations from the neighboring rooms at times. The bathroom, while renovated, had limited space to store toiletries, which was a bit inconvenient. Getting a taxi to the entrance proved difficult due to the layout, leading to some stressful moments when heading to the airport.

    great service but a bit noisy

    The staff were exceptional. they were warm and attentive, making our experience memorable. The room was spacious with a lovely balcony where we enjoyed stunning city views. The spa services were a highlight. the hammam was soothing and well worth the time after long days exploring.

    The soundproofing in the room could definitely be improved.

    comfortable bed
    traditional turkish breakfast
    lovely balcony
    soundproofing issues
    narrow bathroom space

    The location made it easy to explore vibrant local shops and get to the ferry terminal without hassle. I particularly enjoyed the traditional Turkish breakfast with its diverse dishes each morning, a real highlight of my stay. The room was well-equipped with a comfortable bed and even a lovely little balcony, where I could sip my tea and take in beautiful city views. the soundproofing wasn’t the best, as I could occasionally hear conversations from nearby rooms, which was slightly disruptive at times.

    great location
    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    poor soundproofing
    difficult taxi access

    the location is super cool, really close to galata tower and the shops. The breakfast is a real highlight every morning, loved the traditional turkish dishes. staff were amazin, really friendly and helped us with everything! the room was clean and comfy, we had a nice little balcony where we sipped tea. this hotel is perfect for exploring istanbul's bustling streets and vibe.

    the soundproofing in the room could be better, heard my neighbors a bit too much at night. also, taxi access to the hotel can be tricky sometimes, which was kinda annoying.

    The unique Turkish breakfast selection is a real highlight, offering a diverse array of cheeses and regional specialty dishes that immerse you in local culture. Rooms are well-equipped with comfortable beds and some even have charming balconies, perfect for enjoying a morning tea while soaking in the city vibes.

    Soundproofing is an issue. thin walls mean you’ll hear conversations from the neighboring rooms, which can be a disruption to sleep. The hotel’s steep location complicates taxi access, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself navigating a hill with your luggage in tow. The rooms, while cozy, feel a little smaller than expected, making it tricky to find space for your bags. Lastly, you might experience long waits when trying to get assistance during busy times.

    noise issues
    taxi challenges
    small bathrooms

    Centrally located near Galata Tower, this hotel has a unique Turkish breakfast that truly stands out. I enjoyed the well-equipped room, which had a comfortable bed and a nice little balcony, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea. The hotel staff were very attentive and always ready to help. the soundproofing leaves much to be desired. I could hear conversations from neighboring rooms and even some street noise, which disrupted sleep a bit. The layout made it challenging to get a taxi, especially with luggage. Some areas in the bathroom could use more storage to make it easier for toiletries.

    turkish breakfast
    excellent location
    evening entertainment
    air conditioning

    The location is prime for exploring, easily walking to local shops and the ferry terminal. Enjoyed the unique Turkish breakfast. it really stood out. The air conditioning took a day to cool down, which was uncomfortable. Be careful with taxis. they can struggle to get to the hotel entrance. Great evening entertainment nearby added fun to our stay.
