It was a nice place to stay, although my first room was on the 8 floor and had a bad smell. I asked to change my room, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They changed my room quickly, and throughout my stay, they were always available to help — even with getting a taxi

Excellent hotel close to the Istiklal Cd and within walking distance to Taksim square, Galata tower, and Galata bridge. Really great spot with lots of food options as well. One of the staff, Burak, was very helpful especially to store some food in their fridges during our stay. Would definitely stay there again.

good location which is very close to the Metro station and Galata Tower. The only downside was that there were very limited tables for breakfast so you had to wait for other people to finish their meals or sit next to other families. It's a very clean and quiet 3-star hotel.
