Un ottima sorpresa
Pros:

Collocazione strategica dietro la torre di Galata, pieno centro, nel cuore pulsante della città. Struttura pulita, cambio asciugamani ogni giorno, personale cortese, colazione varia con vista spettacolare della città, in terrazza verandata al 5 piano!

Cons:

La salita talvolta impegnativa per raggiungere l hotel,
ma è normale se si cerca una collocazione in pieno centro,in una città che si è sviluppata in mezzo a dei colli.
Da migliorare ,prevedendo una mensola per l'appoggio di oggetti, mobiletto o quant'altro all interno della camera, questo sarebbe molto utile.

Pros:

Sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel in einer Nebengasse nahe beim belebten Galata-Turm. Trotzdem war es ruhig. Das Frühstücksbuffet war fein und frisch. Die Dachterrasse bietet einen schönen Ausblick und viel Potential. Mit einer gemütlicheren Gestaltung könnte sie noch attraktiver sein… Das Personal war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und familiär. Als Alleinreisende habe ich mich sehr wohlgefühlt.

Cons:

Die Gasse an dem das Hotel lag, wirkte teilweise etwas weniger gepflegt. Das Hotel selbst war jedoch sauber und gut geführt.

Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni. szczerze polecamy miasto i hotel.
Pros:

śniadania bardzo dobre, każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Obsługa bardzo pomocna, uprzejma, dbająca o klienta. Położenie bardzo dobre, wszędzie blisko, mimo że równoległa ulica jest bardzo oblegana przez turystów w hotelu jest cicho. Polecam.

Good value for money
Pros:

Healthy breakfast, lots of options, good pillows.
If you take the bus 13 from IST airport to the hotel you have to get off at Sishane 4 stop then walk 5/7 minutes to the hotel. I’m giving this information as I was given the wrong one from an employee of the hotel ( one stop further). On the way back to airport stop is called Sishane 6

Cons:

In the bathroom I had a strong smell of sewerage coming from the shower cabin.
Hair drier not well functional; I think the engine is very weak. It would stop after one minute of use and it would start again after 5 minutes. On and off both times I needed it.

It was nice and very relaxing after the long days of exploring Istanbul
Pros:

The property and the building itself was very good overall, the service of the staff was amazing too! whenever we needed anything we just had to send a message to Mr. Sevgi from the guest relations team and help/ provision would be on the way! I kinda understand why housekeeping is only once in two days because most of our time would be outside but necessary toiletries and other stuff should be provided every day without asking🫶🏼
The food for breakfast was decent, it could have had more variety and changes everyday.. also that labneh i only got to eat from it just for two days!! whyy?? it was the most delicious thing from all the other food..

Cons:

From an architect and interior designer perspective.. the bathroom’s sink could be more wide (at least in the room i resided in) in order to put more stuff other than a toothbrush and toothpaste.. the water tap / faucet should be longer and more closer to us because it was so close to the countertop that every time i want to wash my hands the counter would be full of water and after every use you’ll have to dry off the water.. in conclusion; it was messy.. as for the shower, the rubber gasket / shower glass seal around the glass of the shower (again i’m talking about our room that we resided in) was getting off and water would get outside the shower..
another thing was the noise from outside but i’ve seen many people talk about it and also about all the trash surrounding the entrance from the surrounding shops.. it wasn’t pleasant to see not gonna lie, i think the hotel should take a step forward and talk with the responsible people that own these shops..

Cozy hotel with friendly staff in Galata
Pros:

Great location, we really liked the room it was spacious and clean. The staff was super helpful and accommodated all of our requests and even gave us some nice recommendations. Our flight was cancelled and they helped us to stay another night in the hotel. Breakfast with a view is also amazing and delicious!

Cons:

The room for our last night was quite small and there wasn’t much conditioner or shower gel left. But this would be easily fixed by informing the staff.

Mal Hotel, Mala experiencia
Pros:

NADA

Cons:

Situado próximo a la Torre Galata se ubica en un callejón sucio y oscuro. Delante de la puerta tiene un auténtico basurero que afecta directamente al descanso ya que el camión de la basura acude de madrugada y hace un ruido espantoso durante bastante tiempo. Cogimos la habitación con terraza (más cara) pensando en que supondría un plus y lo que nos encontramos fue una pequeña habitación abuhardillada cuya puerta de balcón no cerraba bien y con una mini-terraza estrecha y con vistas deprimentes. Además de presentar un deterioro que no es normal. La cama "superancha" eran en realidad dos de 90 juntas cuyos colchones de muelles nada cómodos presentaban una notable curvatura y que deberían haber sido renovados hace tiempo. Las lámparas de mesita no disponían de interruptor y había que desenchufarlas. Y el espacio para la cama era tan justo que por uno de los laterales sólo podías acceder de costado. Ni una sola banqueta donde poner la maleta. ¿4 estrellas? Venga, por favor.
El baño minúsculo de no más de 1 m2 (sólo cabe 1 persona) con toalla viejas y deshilachadas. El tercer día nos quedamos sin gel de baño y no lo repusieron en los tres días siguientes.
Junto al ruido de la calle y edificios colindantes también estaba el de la cocina cercana a nuestra habitación donde los golpes y arrastres de muebles comenzaban casi todos los día a las 6 a.m.
Y no sé cómo es posible que califiquen el mediocre desayuno de "fabuloso" con el peor café, té y zumo que hemos probado en la vida. La fruta escasa y en mal estado permanecía durante días sin que nadie la retirase. Y nunca habíamos visto a un camarero de comedor comiendo durante el servicio (cada día). Pequeño y poco acogedor comedor, bastante frío, que era la azotea del edificio reconvertida.
Pensamos que habíamos contratado una Pensión de baja calidad. Imposible recomendar un establecimiento así ni por la mitad de su precio (cerca de 100€ la noche) y es nuestra peor experiencia de hotel en décadas.

Pros:

The stay was overall nice, the only thing is that the hotel is indeed very close to Galata tower but in a street that is not that beautiful with trash cans near by and electronic shops right in front of the hotel. The terrace for breakfast was worth a lot with an amazing view over istanbul.

Cons:

The room cleaning was almost absent and we were expecting a bit more for a more expensive stay such as this one.
