Excellent location, comfortable rooms and incredible staff
Pros:

First and foremost, the service is unlike anything I’ve had at other hotels. The staff are super friendly and go above and beyond to ensure your comfort. The room was well furnished with comfortable beds. We had a great view of Galata Tower from our balcony. Plus, having a great cafe in the hotel is a big plus.

Cons:

For some, the only downside would be that there is no elevator but this didn’t bother us.

Pros:

The two Managers were excellent. They made the hotel worthwhile. Excellent location.

They need to put in new safety boxes in the rooms. Their old style ones are a waste of time and do not work well.

Fantastic Galata stay
Pros:

Amazing location near Galata tower and many nice restaurants and cafes. Friendly staff who were helpful and accommodating. Clean and modern rooms, nice coffee shop and chill area on the ground floor.

Cons:

There was some noise at night from inside the hotel (cleaners and guests) and outside the hotel. This can't be helped but if you are sensitive to noise then earplugs could be helpful.

Zentral gelegenes Hotel mit super freundlichem Personal
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist super zentral, wenige Meter vom Galata Tower entfernt. Dadurch liegt das Hotel selber natürlich nicht in einer ruhigen Gegend, sondern eher in einer sehr lebhaften Gegend. Wir hatten ein Standard Zimmer gebucht, welches relativ klein ist, aber den Zweck erfüllt, wenn man viel in Istanbul unterwegs ist. Unser erstes Zimmer mussten wir leider wechseln, da die Klimaanlage nicht funktioniert hat, was aber überhaupt kein Problem war. Grundsätzlich muss man sagen, dass das Personal einfach super toll war. Immer freundlich, immer lösungsorientiert und immer hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Es sind wirklich Kleinigkeiten. Leider wurde der Kaffee im Zimmer nicht nachgefüllt und die Fenster zur Straße hin sind zum Teil lärmdurchlässig. Das Haus selber ist bereits sehr alt, daher auch etwas hellhörig. Dafür ist wie gesagt die Lage super zentral und man hat alles was man braucht um sich herum.

Emozionante e divertente!
Pros:

La struttura è bellissima e se dovessimo tornare tornerei sicuramente qui. La gentilezza, disponibilità e la struttura sono stupende. Non ho mai trovato persone in un hotel così gentili, l’albergo è pulito, confortevole, una piccola perla. Ci hanno consigliato benissimo cibo, trasporti e tutto ciò che abbiamo chiesto . Murat e Ercan sono delle bellissime persone, e’ raro trovare persone così. Ci siamo sentiti a casa. Grazie mille, a presto

Cons:

Nulla tt perfetto

7/10
Pros:

Excelente localização, no meio do bairro de Galata. Staff simpático, proativo e com bom nível de inglês.

Cons:

Não tem elevador no hotel, e tem 4 andares de apartamento. Difícil subir e descer com malas. O bairro de Galata é todo de ladeiras muito íngremes, o que faz com que uma pequena andada você já chegue cansado ao hotel - e ainda tenha que enfrentar alguns andares de escada.

Ficaria novamente.
Pros:

É pequeno e aconchegante. Simples e confortável. Bastante espaço no quarto, chuveiro excelente. 20 metros pra baixo, vira a direita e está na Galata Tower, mais 150 no trem, metrô e balsas.

Cons:

Dos leds do alarme de incêndio piscando na cabeça a noite toda. Claro que depois de dormir você esquece elas.

Pros:

An amazing location, right in the heart of the Galata area. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

A touch noisy, but that comes with the location. The room was small but did the trick.
