Nice place and views, right next to the Galata tower. Be prepared to climb a lot since the hotel is on a hill. Some of the rooms are very small. Would have rated higher but the hotel over booked and moved us to their sister hotel for one of the 2 days.

Room 147 4th floor is very loud during breakfast and dinner. Due to being on the top floor and dining area above the room. When chairs are moved around you’ll hear everything down in the room. It gets pretty annoying if your trying to get some sleep during breakfast time which is 8am-11am.

Quaint comfortable room with classic feeling furnishings. Helpful and attentive service, very good breakfast. Panoramic view from roof, but staff don't permit photos with interchangeable lens cameras "because the hotel is a designated historical site." And they said that status could be at risk if I was cought using my camera on the roof.
