Très bon accueil
Pros:

Un hôtel très accueillant. La chambre était confortable. Bien placé pour visiter le quartier. Bon petit déjeuner. La petite rue de l’hôtel est en retrait donc pas bruyante la nuit mais un peu vide le soir. Toutefois les rues adjacentes pour les restaurants sont facile en accès à 5 minutes à pied.

Pros:

The staff are wonderful and make you feel so welcome. You are close to the Metro underground and also the trams that run along the Bosphorous and Golden Horn. Also close to Galata Tower and the street cafes.
I recommend a room with a view across The Golden Horn to the New Mosque. It's worth it!
The breakfast was delicious with a wonderful Turkish flavor to it. This is also a cat friendly hotel with a few delightful residents who are extremely cute.
The beds and pillows were comfortable too.

Cons:

Nothing.

Tolles, modern eingerichtetes Hotel mit Blick auf das Goldene Horn. Nahe zur Metro (M2 Şişhane), nahe zum Galata-Turm und auch das Wasser ist fußläufig erreichbar.
Gute Klimaanlage, super-freundliches Personal, gutes Frühstücksbuffet und täglich eine große Flasche Wasser gratis im Zimmer.

Der einzige Wunsch wären noch Kosmetiktücher im Bad.
