Nice, centrally-located and authentic family-led hotel close to Galata Tower. The view from the room was spectacular and the staff always motivated and helpful.

Excellent stay with a great view
Pros:

Everything was awesome. The location, the staff, the breakfast, and the sleeping space. I loved the balcony at night! Do it -- great spot:)

Cons:

The balcony could use an umbrella to be able to sit outside on a sunny morning.
The bathroom was a bit too small for my taste, but good otherwise.

Pros:

Находится очень близко к достопримечательностям, при это сама улица тихая и спокойная. Очень дружелюбный персонал, искренне рады предложить свою помощь. Очаровательные пушистые постояльцы которые сопровождают весь период пребывания в отеле своим мурлыканьем.

Heerlijk hotel met vriendelijk personeel
Pros:

Het personeel was heel erg aardig, Bilal en de vrouw van de receptie waren heel aardig en wisten veel. De locatie was super fijn, alles op loopafstand en de metro om de hoek. De kamers worden elke dag schoon gemaakt.

Cons:

De moskee gaat elke dag om 5.30u, dat was even wennen, met oordoppen in gaat het prima

Pros:

This is a fairly small family run hotel, and it shows. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, buffet food of great variety and flavors. We had a seaview room that was really enjoyable.

Hotel in zentraler Lage mit sehr hilfsbereitem Personal
Pros:

Der Service durch die Mitarbeiter war sehr gut.
Man hat jederzeit Infos und Tipps zu Unternehmungen bekommen.
Das Zimmer war sehr sauber.
Die Lage ist sehr gut für Unternehmungen.

Cons:

Beim Frühstück ist normaler Filterkaffee und schwarzer Tee inklusive. Weitere Heißgetränke kosten extra. Ansonsten ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Ich würde sagen ein normales Frühstück.
Das Zimmer war eher klein, wobei wir auch die günstigste Kategorie gebucht hatten.
Die private Anreise und Abreise mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln war nicht ganz einfach, da das Hotel in einer Seitenstraße liegt und der Weg dorthin mit großem Gepäck mühsam ist, da die Gehwege sehr uneben sind. Vorab wurde jedoch ein Transfer mit dem Taxi angeboten, welcher 50 € vom Flughafen gekostet hätte.
Für Ausflüge ist die Lage allerdings ideal!
