Very pleasant hotel Good room, very good shower, clean. Every day, while we were enjoying the good breakfast, the room was already cleaned. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Location close to Galata tower and metro station Sishane, very convenient. Only point that could be improved: the heating/cooling system was not easy to use, since it was centrally controlled.
