A really nice hotel in the heart of Galata, run by even nicer people.
Pros:

The place was well located, the rooms were cozy and comfortable, and last but not least, the staff were kind, lovely, and helpful.

Cons:

maybe, in reason of my cold italian blood, i wasn't a super fan of the breakfast included in the price. "de gustibus non disputandum est"

Pros:

Het meest wat mij aan de accommodatie beviel, was allereerst de locatie: dicht bij de Galatatoren, de gezellige cafés in de omgeving en op loopafstand van het Şişhane metro- en busstation. Daarnaast waren alle medewerkers erg vriendelijk, behulpzaam en respectvol. Een speciaal bedankje gaat uit naar Nazli, die ons elke dag met een glimlach verwelkomde en ons met haar waardevolle tips hielp om het meeste uit ons verblijf in Istanbul te halen. Ook de schoonmaakmedewerkers waren erg vriendelijk en zorgden ervoor dat alles altijd netjes en verzorgd was. Dankzij het hele team hebben wij een zeer prettig verblijf gehad.

Cons:

Het enige minpuntje vond ik dat de hotelkamers aan de kleine kant zijn. Daarnaast kwam er af en toe een rooklucht de kamer binnen, vermoedelijk van buitenaf. Dit heeft ons verblijf echter niet noemenswaardig beïnvloed en ik begrijp dat dit iets is waar het hotel zelf weinig aan kan doen.

Pros:

Pobyt w hotelu oceniam bardzo pozytywnie. Pokój był kameralny, a łazienka niewielka, jednak wszystko było bardzo czyste i zadbane. Codziennie odbywało się sprzątanie, wymieniano ręczniki oraz uzupełniano kosmetyki (żel pod prysznic i szampon). Dużym plusem było również codzienne dokładanie wody butelkowanej, kawy i herbaty.

Śniadania serwowane do stolika były smaczne, urozmaicone i przygotowywane ze świeżych produktów. Na szczególne wyróżnienie zasługuje przemiła i pomocna Pani w recepcji, dzięki której pobyt był jeszcze bardziej komfortowy.

Największym atutem hotelu jest lokalizacja. Z okna rozciągał się piękny widok na Bosfor. Hotel znajduje się bardzo blisko stacji metra, przystanków autobusowych oraz Wieży Galata, co znacznie ułatwia zwiedzanie miasta.

Jedynym istotnym minusem był nieustający hałas dobiegający z ruchliwej, ośmiopasmowej ulicy. Bez zatyczek do uszu zasypianie było dla mnie bardzo trudne.

Mimo tej niedogodności chętnie wybrałabym ten hotel ponownie ze względu na świetną lokalizację, czystość oraz bardzo miłą obsługę.

Pros:

Отличный отель, персонал очень великолепный и готов помочь с любым вопросом! Хорошее местоположение, совсем рядом Босфор, большой выбор транспорта (метро, автобусы, паромы, немного дальше трамвай), но возможно не подойдет для людей с чутким сном, потому что рядом транспортная развязка и шум от дороги. В остальном супер место, чтобы провести пару ночей. Хороший завтрак, небольшой но сытный. В любой момент бесплатно можно попить чай/кофе или лимонад. В номере каждый день меняли полотенце и обновляли воду. При отеле есть небольшой магазинчик.

Overall, a great stay with excellent service and a fantastic location
Pros:

I mainly used this hotel as a place to sleep and recharge between exploring the city, and it was perfect for that.

The location is great - close to almost everything. The value for money is excellent, the rooms are always clean, and housekeeping keeps everything well maintained.

The staff are very friendly and always willing to help. During my stay, I had a sore throat and couldn’t get to a pharmacy because they were closed for Bayram. The staff helped take care of me, which I really appreciated

Cons:

Maybe the only downside is some street noise, but that’s to be expected given the very central location. I usually travel with earplugs, so it wasn’t much of an issue for me

Pros:

The location was good near Galata Tower, and very easy to find.
Everyone who i met from the staff, was always helpful and welcomed you with smile and a good word.
They didnt let you to do things alone, or stayed uninformed for anything. Amazing staff.
Very kind greetings to Nazli, beautiful and kind woman.

Worth to stay for short holidays
Pros:

I would say that for few nights this is excellent place. Value to price on a great level. Breakfast included in the price, every day a bit different, every day good. Very helpful staff and owner. Fantastic location.

Cons:

For the other travelers: bear in mind that rooms with the view are the ones by really busy street. And even closing the windows doe'snt stop the noise.
To the hotel: I had problem with pillows: if I can suggest something - it would be great to also have small pillows, cos the one hotels offers are very big, very hard and for me it was impossible to sleep on. The other thing is that I think it would be great to have an option to choose if I want to have towels exchanged every day. I understand that for some it might be absolutely necessary but for me it wasn't. I was forgetting to inform about it in the reception and it's easy to avoid by having this door hanger saying: we don't need cleaning today OR a simple rule written in the bathrrom: if you need towel change put it on the floor. Otherwise it won't be changed. You, as a hotel, would avoid PLENTY of water and detergent costs connected with washin all the five (!) towels per room everyday. Worth to think of ;)
