Άνετο, πεντακάθαρο και πρωινό με θέα όλον τον Βόσπορο!
Pros:

Είχαμε την τύχη να μας βάλουν σε ένα από τα δωμάτια της φωτογραφίας και ήμασταν ψηλά με υπέροχη πανοραμική θέα! Η καθαριότητα ήταν απερίγραπτη! Κάθε μέρα το δωμάτιο ήταν σαν καινούριο. Το προσωπικό εξαιρετικό και πολύ εξυπηρετικό, το πρωινό πλούσιο, η τοποθεσία τέλεια, πολύ κεντρικά, σε απόσταση 5’ από τον Πύργο του Γαλατά και γενικά σε κομβικό σημείο. Πηγαίναμε παντού με τα πόδια. Μας καλωσόρισαν κερνώντας μας χυμό και γλυκό στο δωμάτιο! Κουρτίνες συσκότισης και πλήρως ηχομονωμένο το δωμάτιο! Όλα σούπερ!

Cons:

Δεν το αναφέρω απαραίτητα ως αρνητικό, απλά για εμάς που επιλέξαμε το συγκεκριμένο ξενοδοχείο λόγω αυτής της έξτρα παροχής, το γυμναστήριο ήταν εξαιρετικά μικρό και ελλειπές. Ξέρω ότι δεν πας ταξίδι για να γυμνάζεσαι στο ξενοδοχείο, όμως για εμάς που έχουμε κάποιο συγκεκριμένο πρόγραμμα κι ήταν παράμετρος επιλογής του ξενοδοχείου, ήταν απογοητευτικό τόσο που δεν πήγαμε καθόλου.

Pros:

Posizione impeccabile, a due passi da torre Galata, camera ottima con vista sul mare e personale gentilissimo e professionale. Un plauso particolare ai ragazzi della reception : Hilal, Sena, Efe, al direttore della terrazza a colazione, ai concierge della portineria e la mitica Sibel ai piani. Grazie

Cons:

La mancanza di un montacarichi per gli addetti ai lavori che utilizzano continuamente gli ascensori ai piani

Pros:

The bell boy was so helpful and kind.
The hotel amenities were excellent, the rooms clean.

Cons:

There was so much traffic in the street where the hotel was located, also the size of the room was small.
The reception should be more precise on details. Also there is a mosque just beside the hotel which wake up early morning with the sound of Azan.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war leider nicht wie erwartet und entsprach nicht den Bildern bzw. der Beschreibung. Besonders enttäuschend war das Frühstück: Die Auswahl war sehr begrenzt und bereits um 10 Uhr war das Buffet praktisch leer, ohne dass nachgefüllt wurde. Insgesamt hat das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für mich nicht gestimmt.

Excellent location and value for moneh
Pros:

The hotel is very conveniently located in the centre of Galata and we found it to be very very good value for money. The whole building has a very new feel - the room was smart and overall clean and comfortable, and the breakfast room was stunning with great views. We enjoyed a wonderful massage and turkish bath in the spa, which was lovely, just wish we'd had time for the pool - they allow couples in together which is just what we wanted. The staff at the front desk were very helpful as well. For our needs in Istanbul, this was perfect and very good value.

Cons:

The bathroom was a little small and cramped (though the shower was lovely) and I suspect the bed was two twins pushed together with a connector in the middle - strange lump in the middle! Breakfast could have been more varied and better organised - it wasn't clear what was available to order (eggs, coffee etc)

Pros:

Morgenmaden var ganske fin. Personalet var flinkt og servicemindet. Fantastisk udsigt fra vores værelse med direkte udsigt til Galata-tårnet. Alt i alt en god oplevelse.

Cons:

Fitnessrum var ikke meget bevendt. Det var skuffende og reelt ikke brugbart.
