The hotel is centrally located, very close to the Galata tower, T1 tram, restaurants, marina and entertainment district. Staff were very helpful with all my needs and they also went the extra mile to make our stay special(thanks for the birthday cake). We traveled as a couple and this hotel provided everything that we hoped for on our vacation.
