    Should be way better but still acceptable value for money

    This is a budget accomodation; you get what you pay for. Everything is quite basic. By Turkish standards, breakfast is mediocre (which is still not bad at all). The first room they put us in was smelly. They then switched us to a different room which was better but came with broken lamps and toilet. The staff fixed every problem immediately but still this left a bad first impression. The location is kind of convenient to get to many places, it's very close to Galata tower. But to get anywhere you always have to climb some stairs. The taxi driver failed to find a way to drive here (it's all just narrow one-way alleys), so we had to walk up those stairs with our suitcases. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have heavy suitcases or are traveling with less mobile people.

    Comfy beds, heating works well, ok showers. Staff tried their best to make our stay comfortable. The breakfast terrace has great views.

    They can improve on facilities, like towels without holes - we had to request for slippers, the coffee maker and kettle is not working - so only water is complimentary, - a little room freshener and lounge music will also help to liven up the hotel

    Location is great, close to Kardakoy Tram and Galata Port, Bridge, and Tower, everything is within walking distance, Expect A lot of uphill and downhill walk, cobbled roads - as it is surrounding the Galata tower area. They can improve on facilities, like towels without holes - we had to request for slippers, the coffee maker and kettle is not working , we did not complain to the reception anymore since we only stayed for 2 nights and were mostly outside - so only water is complimentary, bed is nice, interiors of the room are better than most - there's a nice wine resto in front of the hotel - Vigneron - perfect place to end the day. we did not avail the 10 euro breakfast as we opt to take it outside, check in and check out were easy - we left our bags at the reception after check out so we can explore the area a little more.

    Lovely, place, beautiful breakfast terrace
    • Leisure trip

    The hotel is on a very quiet and safe road. There is a music bar just outside that plays relaxing, lounge music until 22:30 (I personally did not mind it at all). While the hotel is relatively easy to reach, this neighbourhood of Istanbul is on a quite steep hill with narrow roads and a lot of steps and staircases everywhere, which could be a bit challenging for persons with reduced mobility.

    Excellent place to stay to visit Istanbul. Central position, well connected, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff. Clean, lift available. Make sure you get the breakfast as it is served in a beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view.

    Communications with the management were poor. Also the entrance area smells of smoking and the night managers clearly sleep on the couches.

    Lovely small hotel with a great roof terrace for breakfast, but very noisy at night.

    The only downside is that the hotel is on a very narrow alley and directly across there is a wine bar with a saxophonist playing outside every night until 10.30pm. No good if you have children or need an early night as it is very loud.

    The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was prepared per person and made fresh as you entered the roof terrace. The hotel is right in the heart of the Galata area with lots of restaurants and bars.

    It was difficult to reach by car. We booked taxi via booking.com, the drivers had hard time to find the hotel. Besides, we suspected something on the bed, both me and my partner woke up with a few itching red spots, but it could be something else. We shake the bedsheet a few times during our stay. -There was no coffee pod providing, we cannot use the capsule coffee machine in the room.

    The room is big, air conditioning was working fine. Staff were friendly. Location is easy to find (on foot, not with car) Walking distance to a lot of attractions. They refilled tea bags, bottle water, which is nice.

    But, the problem with Wi-Fi. It works, but VERY slowly, and not always, actually I had to go out to the street to catch my mobile Internet. We were on the 1st floor, maybe upper it works better.
