Mikhail from Russia (8/10)
The best location in the center of Instanbul. And this place is quiet!
Lisa-marie from France (9/10)
The location was great, just 3 minutes away from the Galata Tower and the streets are quiet at night (we visited over New Year's Eve). The room was really clean and comfortable, and the staff was really helpful!
Francesca from Turkey (7/10)
Location is really good. Despite being in a crowded area close to Galata tower the property is on a secondary road ( thus quiet) and walking distance from many attractions.
The staff (one young guy and one young lady) are very helpful and ready to assist you.
