Ideale ligging om Istanbul te ontdekken
Pros:

Kortbij de Galata tower (was misschien 200meter), we hadden een familiekamer, deze werd elke dag schoongemaakt, zeer propere kamer en hotel, je kan overal te voet geraken of neem de T1 tram, deze is ook zeer dichtbij gelegen. Ideale ligging om Istanbul te ontdekken, alsook zeer veilige buurt.

Cons:

Awesome stay at a convenient location
Pros:

Excellent location near the bottom of the Galata tower hill, walkable distance (up to 35 minutes) to all major attractions.
The room was cleaned, and two water bottles were offered every day. Sheets and towels could be changed upon request. Friendly staff.
You can also leave your luggage there if needed, without extra charge.
Quiet room (our room was facing the back and not the street).

Cons:

The only negative (but minor) thing was a damaged patch of wall behind the curtain, which did not affect our stay.

Pros:

Отличное месторасположение! В 50 метрах от галатской башни. При этом совершенно тихо в гостинице, нет шума улицы, кафе и вообще чего либо. Внутри всё свежее. Превзошло ожидания.
