Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice and bright during the day with natural light, clean, and mostly quiet (except for a rooftop party from another building). The combination of the old building with modern lighting and bathroom was beautiful. However, the rooms were extremely small. The service was exceptional, with kind and always available staff. The location was fantastic, right in between Galata Tower and Galata Bridge, making it perfect for exploring the old city. The dining experience offered plenty of tasty choices, though more variety would have been appreciated.
The hotel provided a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were slightly small, it didn't take away from the overall quality of the stay. The hospitality could use some improvement due to occasional miscommunications among staff, but it didn't hinder our ability to enjoy the vibrant scenes of Istanbul and its major attractions.
