Pros:

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel! Das Personal war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und immer gut gelaunt. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, gemütlich .

Besonders gefallen hat uns die ruhige Atmosphäre und die ideale Lage – ruhig, aber trotzdem nah an allem Wichtigen. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft!

É qui che bisogna soggiornare

Veramente un bel posto, una garanzia come sempre, praticamente sei già alla Torre di Galata, e ad una brevissima passeggiata da Bosforo, i ragazzi alla reception sono davvero gentili e ti aiutano in tutto!

Pros:

The location is absolute prime right by the Galata Tower and Karakoy station is a 10 minute walk.

Cons:

One of the nights we had some noisy neighbors who were drunk which was a nuisance to everyone. The staff tried helping but mostly was out of their control.
Apart from that, it was pretty good!
