Mert, the front staff was so welcoming. Check in was smooth. I got a beautiful corner room facing the main street. It felt so centrally located with the tram and bus lines in front. Although you can easily walk towards the Galata bridge and to Dolmabahce on the opposite direction, or straight walk up to Istiklal/Galata Tower areas. Shopping and dining are just behind the hotel. Mert also helped me arrange an early morning ride to the airport.

If your looking for a hotel in the heart of everything this is the place. It’s just a hotel there are no amenities in the hotel ,but they have a storage place to keep your luggage’s and they have a full scale to weigh your suitcase before you fly. The tram is 2 mins away , 4 stops to sultanahmed stop . Galata tower is up the hill across from the hotel , the port is mins away , there are so many food places seconds away from the hotel , lots of choices , the mall is 5 mins away with fast food chains and other restaurants to try . The mosque is 1 min away from the hotel so you will hear the azan ( amazing) . Everything is within walking distance from this hotel . The staff are lovely , the room was always made up and clean with clean towels daily .

You realy get value for money. The lokation is perfect, and the hotel is renewed and very clean. The entrance is a bit hard to see at first, the signage and lightning is are poor, but just a phonecall and the receptionist will gladly come outside to great you. Never slept with better pillow that was realy nice. Some street noise filters in, but it is not a major issue. I will definitely book again for next istanbul trip - thanks to Samet and Mert

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel, das sich mitten im Zentrum von Karaköy in Istanbul befindet. Unser Zimmer mit Blick auf Galata, für das wir ein kostenloses Zimmer-Upgrade erhielten, bot sowohl tagsüber als auch nachts eine wunderbare Atmosphäre. Die Sauberkeit, der Komfort und die Einrichtung des Zimmers waren sehr gelungen. Die Nähe zu den belebten Straßen, Cafés und Verkehrsknotenpunkten von Karaköy war ein großer Vorteil. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ich kann dieses Hotel allen, die einen angenehmen Aufenthalt mit schöner Aussicht in Istanbul suchen, wärmstens empfehlen. Übersetzt mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)
