One of the advantages - neat and contemporary rooms; they included a shower, a hair dryer, and bath sheets. The beds here were extremely comfy. The hotel was situated in the central location to 2 subway stations.

This place is great and absolutely amazing and the staff are affable! The hotel's location is great, right by all the shops and restaurants, Galata Tower and Istiklal Street and a good promenade. European Side district won't disappoint you. Would book again and recommend it.

Simple and spotlessly clean place, really helpful staff. Neat room, a shower, a hair dryer and bath sheets in the room. A wide range of local food for meals. The hotel of choice in Istanbul.

Glad to have a personal safe, a cable TV with on-demand films and ironing facilities in the room. Worth its 4 stars.
