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.

Perfect for us: clean, comfortable, balcony, good location. Probably not for everyone: stairs to enter and get to the lift, but if you’re mobility impaired, then you wouldn’t stay in this area. Back street lively until the wee hours, so great for people watching, but not good for early sleepers. (Maybe get a front room?) Standard sized room small and toilet could use fan 24hrs, but comfortable bed, good shower and had shampoo etc. No tv, but the street outside was almost as good and internet was adequate. Breakfast menu restaurant down the road was delicious. Fridge in room. 24hr free coffee machine in lobby. Airport transfer convenient and competitive. Staff WONDERFUL! Cannot fault them at all. We would stay again, but I would understand if it didn’t suit everyone.

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!

Lots of shops & restaurants in the area, many open late. Colorful murals all around, and many beloved street cats (and a few dogs). FYI If you like to go to bed early, this is not a quiet neighborhood. The hotel is very cute, and the staff friendly. There is an elevator, but there are several steps required to get to it.
