Lovely hotel in an amazing location
Pros:

This is a delightful boutique hotel, very close to the Galata Tower and so many excellent shopping streets and cafes.

Cons:

The area is very popular with tourists so it gets noisy. My room was on the ground floor so I could not escape the late night hubbub. I believe the hotel is in future only going to allocate the upper rooms, which is a good idea.

Location, balcony, staff, cleanliness

Cons:

Our room was fairly small, and there was some noise from the street, however that is to be expected and not too bad.

Location eccezionale per godersi la città di giorno e di notte. Piccolo albergo con tanta personalit
Pros:

La colazione era fornita da un ristorante associato, a breve distanza dall’hotel. Ottima e varia, posta proprio sotto la Torre Galata.

Cons:

Non c’è niente che non mi sia piaciuta

Всегда выбираем отель меродди, оешили поэкспериментировать, больше не будем
Pros:

Единственное хорошее в этом отеле - место расположения

Cons:

Не понятны люди, которые пишут о восхитительных завтраках. В самом отеле его нет, нужно идти с купоном в ресторан поблизости, там можно выбрать одно из четырех блюд из яиц. Также дадут пару кусков вчерашнего хлеба. Кофе - растворимый. Второе утро даже не брали купон и завтракали в другом месте.
Номера очень «уставщие», рассохшаяся мебель. Часть окон без уплотнительных резинок и очень слышно шум с улицы. Беруши реально спасают.
Ванная была после ремонта и чистая, но шумоизоляция крайне плохая. Также сломана дверь в ванную.

Pros:

The staff is nice. The bathroom toiletries and the towels policy are eco friendly.

Cons:

The breakfast was outside in a cafe, not offering too many choices. The room was facing a very crowded and noisy street. The furniture was very basic (while it looks nice to decorate the room with old furniture, it should be better maintained; at the same time there was not enough bathroom furniture). The cleaning staff seems to need training.

Hotel emblemático
Pros:

Junto a la torre de Galata, una de las visitas imprescindibles de la ciudad. No solo por su torre, el gran ambiente que se vive en sus calles.
Nos hicimos fácil con el lugar y siempre fue fácil llegar al hotel, sin pérdida y bien comunicado. Tiene una parada de metro a 100 metros para ir al aeropuerto. Nos dio la bienvenida Sefik, y siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos en todo lo posible.

Cons:

Nada que decir negativo
