I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location was superb, close to transport options and key sites, making it easy to explore Istanbul. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff always ready to assist. Although the dining options were not as varied, the complimentary meals were good. The rooms were a bit cramped, but overall, it was a pleasant experience.

I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience overall. The room was very clean and really comfortable, though a bit small and noisy as it faced the street. The service was excellent, with the staff being very friendly and helpful, especially during my weekday stay in the second shift. The location was perfect for exploring Istanbul, being close to the Galata Tower and main shopping street. The dining was good enough, though lacking variety in Turkish traditional cuisine. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel rooms were quite decorated and spacious enough for two people, although they appeared smaller than in the pictures. Overall, the rooms exceeded our expectations. The service was very helpful, friendly, professional, and extremely helpful, offering various amenities such as dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and airport shuttle services. The location was excellent, very close to the tram and Galata Tower, providing a brilliant spot equidistant between the old town and Taksim Square. The dining options were limited but acceptable. The hotel facilities were great, offering a clean and comfortable environment.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel's location was superb, just a stone's throw from the Galata Tower and close to public transport. The rooms were not only lovely and cool with air conditioning even in the summer but also spacious enough for two people. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and helpful staff always ready to provide recommendations. However, the dining options were a bit limited for the price, but who needs it with so many great eateries nearby?
