The location is fantastic, close to key sites and yet peaceful for a good night's rest. Dining options are limited but satisfactory for the price paid.

The hotel offers decent rooms with all necessary amenities, although they can feel a bit musty at times. The service was exceptional, especially with staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location is convenient for attractions like Galata Tower and public transportation, despite some challenges with nearby streets. The dining experience, while acceptable, could have more variety. Overall, a mixed but valuable stay.
The hotel provides a mix of experiences. The rooms are beautifully decorated with an oriental taste but occasional insects may be a downside. The service is top-notch, very professional and helpful, though some may find the location slightly far from certain attractions. The dining experience is fantastic, especially from the rooftop restaurant, and the facilities are great.
The hotel is centrally located, ideal for tourists, with excellent service and outdated rooms facing a noisy street. The dining options are limited, though the service is top-notch. Close to attractions, but rooms are not as modern as advertised.
