Room was clean, and hotel is in great location the only thing was the AC is not strong enough you have to leave the card inserted so it keeps working otherwise room is going to be hot all night. Other than that was very convenient

We stayed a few days in this hotel and had a very pleasant stay! The location was great and the staff were welcoming. The walk is a bit on the uphill but that applies for almost the whole of Istanbul. I would love to come back to this place. The view from our window was insane!

Stayed here for 3 nights and it’s a great little property, check in was simple and easy. The staff was always friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant attached to the property, we did not eat there but it looked good if you need a bite to eat. The hotel is within walking distance of public transport, sights such as the Galata tower, the Bosporus and so forth. Room itself was small, but it was clean and comfortable for two people.

Brand new place! Some features are still being completed though nothing that interfered with my stay. I had a lovely room on the 3rd floor with a great view out the floor to ceiling windows. While it is well located right beside the busy Galata Tower area, my room was peaceful and quiet. I’d love to stay here again!

Galata Tower Stay

Great proximity to the tower. Your taxi will have a very difficult time navigating the streets nearby. Be prepared to walk a block with your luggage. The neighborhood while safe really needs a wash. It's surprising that the hotels on the street don't each pitch in for a cleaning crew. Basic hotel presentation kind of stuff. If you're going to be doing your hair or makeup in the room, know that the lights in the room and bathroom are dim.

Nice, big room with balcony, clean, nice bed, quiet, nice staff. Only 100 meters from Galata Tower. 350m to the Metro station. You get to and from IST in 60 minutes with only one metro line change.

ÇOK KÖTÜ BİR DENEYİM

Çok kötü girişteki arkaşın tavırları hiç hoş değildi resmen alkolik bir şekilde ya da başka birşeyin etkisindeydi ya da ilk iş günüydü çok heycanlıydı ve odaları gösterirken alt katı kilitlemesi çok garibime gitti biz 3 kişilik oda tutmamıza rağmen 2 kişi olduğumuzu görünce 2 kişilik odayı 3 kişilik odayla aynı fiyata vermeye çalıştı hemde odada balkon yoktu ona rağmen aynı fiyatı söyledi. KESİNLİKLE AİLENİZLE EŞİNİZLE GİTMEYİN REZİLLİKTİ.
