The room was compact and perfect for my needs. The bed was super comfortable bathroom spotless and the location was amazing. The Reception staff Mehmet and his female colleague went above and beyond helping me with directions. I was recovering from surgery and this was just the perfect spot. Yes the area is lively but I loved the energy and as a female lone traveler felt safe at all times. Book this gem if travelling to Istanbul.

The hotel is located right next to Galata tower and the area has a lot of foot traffic outside. Its an easy walk to public transit and other areas to see. Just know that Istanbul is very hilly so the distance may be short but it will be and up and down the whole way through. The hotel is very charming, and the room was spacious for my needs. The staff is very attentive and helpful when you need them.

The hotel is located on a very busy cafe and shopping street so access to local facilities was very convenient. Because it's busy it can be a bit noisy at night, but not unlike other cities. We got used to it and enjoyed the position and the amazing view of the Galata. The room was very comfortable and spacious with good storsge and a FANTASTIC shower! Other parts of Istanbul were easily reached by walking, ferries, or trams. I highly recommend a stay here and book a room with a balcony so you can soak it all up from high anove!
