  : Nice and comfortable place at the heart of Istanbul, located close to the Galata tower. The staff is really polite, they are always trying to help you and support you through your holiday. Especially Volkan!
  : Be aware that this is not one of the quietest locations in Istanbul. It is noisy, sometimes even after 1:00 AM. But what can the hotel do about it? :)

  : The location of the property is fantastic, just minutes walk from Galata Kulei and great position for other points of interest. Even though it is in a very crowded and busy area, the street where the Hotel is located is pretty quiet. The support we got from Bahar was of a great value, always ready to help and super fast in responding to our needs.
  : Even though the premises was very clean, the renewal of the bathroom would increase its value which, I am sure, other tourists would appreciate.

  : Perfect location! Less than 5 minutes walk to Galata, close to all the shops, restaurants and metro. Rooms are very clean! Staff are also very friendly and helpful! I was given a box of cookies and cakes upon check in, which is so sweet! The staff are also a phone call away, if I ever needed any help. Would come back! Thank you!
  : The floors are squeaky:(

  : Comfortable bed, visually the room was as described, and location was as good for exploring Galata area. Staff were helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. Bottled water was provided each day. Wifi was good.
  : Describing this as a hotel is a total stretch - it is a building which has been converted into several small guest rooms, with a basic desk on the ground floor for reception and no communal areas for guests. In-room facilities were poor - the toilet was inoperable due to an incorrectly installed lid which we had to fix in place ourselves using the sticky baggage tag off our suitcase. The shower was similarly rustic - hot water pressure was insufficient for the overhead shower and the smaller handheld showerhead fitting was far too loose, making showering an adventure. The building staircase was also dicey, with a couple of broken wooden steps and insecure handrail. You therefore have to be quite hardy and robust to stay here, and those looking for a more premium experience would likely be better off elsewhere. A quick word also to avoid the recommended airport transfer - this is overpriced and fell short of any reasonable expectation of what a private transfer should be. It is delivered by a subcontracted company who ran in total chaos at arrivals. We were left waiting for 20 minutes for our driver to appear, when he did so we were hurried into a clapped out and dirty minivan then bustled into town - half the journey on the freeway the driver was scrolling on his Instagram, the other half was repeatedly circling the narrow and steep hills of galata as he couldnt find the location. At one point we were left trapped in the van (there was no internal means of exiting the vehicle, we were completely sealed in), while the driver walked off to ask for directions. Take a yellow taxi from the airport for much less price and consider directing to Sishane metro which is a short walk away and more easily accessible by vehicle. The staff were good enough to arrange this for us for the return leg, which worked well.
