It’s located in the middle of the small and medium size restaurants with excellent food variety. It’s very good location for late night stayers and live music lovers, and the area also offers many historical sites to visit such as beautiful mosques, cultural centres and entertainment locations.

Ruined our holiday

The room was spacious but air conditioners weren’t working so we were basically roasted for 3 consecutive nights. Breakfast wasn’t edible. The staff was friendly but was neither professional nor helpful as no one seemed to be bothered about our complaints! The toilet was very old fashioned and not suitable for family with children. We stayed in three different hotels throughout our stay in Turkey and this was the worst! Wouldn’t go back to it.

Highly recommend this hotel!

Lovely hotel, great location, friendly staff, very clean rooms with good aircon. The street is a busy one with late night music but the rooms are very well sound proofed so this did not disturb us at all. Loads of food & drinks options within seconds walking distance, from high end to street snacks. Galata Tower is a 10 minute (uphill) walk away. Plenty of transport options at the nearby pier, be those ferry, tram or bus. Would stay again next time I’m in Istanbul.

Noisy surrounding

There is no way to get rest in this hotel because of the bars and restaurants nearby. The windows are old and don’t block at all the the noise. The bars and restaurants are open until 3-4 am and they are very loud. My disappointment is mainly because of there was no mention of this at the booking page. When I complained, the receptionist said it wasn’t their fault.

overall the hotel was nice and charming and the staff were friendly and helpful. only real issue was the room i booked indicated it would have a city view and i requested a high floor. i was only on floor 2 and the room faced and overlooked a very scary alleyway. there was a door in the bathroom that led to a small balcony that was filled with junk and the door had a very flimsy lock that made me feel quite unsafe. the hotel was unable to move me to another room

Good hotel with some mayor details

The hotel is good, just remodeled. The room is nice and clean and the staff is friendly. The only problem was that just below the hotel is a bar with live music that plays until 2 am so it is really loud. And the breakfast is really bad in my opinion, just some basic things and not really a good breakfast.
