Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The street noise in front of the hotel is excessive; frequent cars lay on their horns all night long. The hotel windows do very little to mitigate this. Almost no sleep was had for two nights. The mini fridge would not stay on and the TV had no signal. Plus, the heavy glass shower door is stuck on the concrete sill at the bottom and makes a terrible noise if moved. No showers were taken over two days. The good things that can be said: close to metro and Galata tower, friendly staff, nice breakfast room with decent breakfast.

Friendly Staff!

Check in was easy and the location is great! Shower door in our room didn’t really close and the first night the AC went out, however; that issues was quickly resolved. The breakfast was a pretty great way to start off day, which getting anywhere from here was very easy due to the close public transportation. I’d recommend the hotel if you don’t mind some minor issues.

The hotel is perfectly placed for all tourist attractions. Tha afternoon receptionist was just lazy and quite frankly shouldn't be in hospitality. The morning guy was very helpfully, polite and friendly. Overall great location and good price.
