I had a large, spacious room, stylish as befits a classical Galata building. Huge bed. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on the roof, with fine views. It’s a normal Turkish hotel breakfast. The hotel is set on the Golden Horn and near lots of wonderful areas.

The staff at the hotel were friendly and very helpful. We had the spa suite and it was huge and very nice. The breakfast was traditional Turkish food with vegetables, salads, hard boiled eggs. I longed for some hot eggs and toast. No ice was available at the hotel, but the front desk kept us supplied with water. There was a mini-refrigerator in the room to keep it cold. Location was great, right at the Galata Bridge, which had several wonderful restaurants on the lower level. There was a coffee shop right next door but coffee wasn’t available until 8:30 so make other plans for coffee if you’re an early starter.
