Friendly, clean and accommodating

We had a long connection in Istanbul and needed a place to stay for about 8-10 hours. They were extremely accommodating with getting us an early check in. The people were very nice and the room was nice and clean. It’s located in a good area that is close to a ton of good food and dessert, as well as a short walk to the Galata Tower. I would stay here again next time I visit!

This small hotel is conveniently located near the Galata bridge with lots of dining option and proximity to the Tram and Tunel funicular. There is no breakfast buffet available and the rooms are very small.

Perfect stay in Istanbul

Beautiful and extremely well located hotel. Rooms are exactly as the photos, with good beds and very quiet. They also have a very nice café that is perfect for breakfast. The staff is extremely nice, special mention to Mateen who is a 5 stars host. Will definitely come back during my next trip in Istanbul. Thank you!

Great location, helpful staff.

Amazing location and good value. The room had everything I needed and was solid but small. Good shower and comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful - made restaurant reservations, booked taxis and were overall pleasant. Only negatives: no ambient sound and sadly, the room was totally clean when I checked in BUT there was some old pee on the toilet seat. I let the front desk know and they offered to switch my room but I had already started to unpack so they sent housecleaning immediately and all else was great. Things happen.

We really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful hotel. The room is suitable for two people, clean, the windows are large, the room is bright and there is no noise from outside. The mattress is comfortable and so are the pillows. The bathroom is small but sufficient. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Especially Umut and Metin who were always welcoming us with a smile and provided us with services when we needed to print some papers and also helped us communicate with the airline when we needed it. I can confirm that all the staff at this hotel are polite and respectful. There is a restaurant on the 8th floor and on the 9th floor there is a terrace with a wonderful view of Istanbul. Its location is close to everything; Galata Port, Eminonu and Karakoy Tram. I will not hesitate to stay at this hotel again in the future.
