Among all budget hotels in Istanbul I stayed in, I think this one is the best. As a traveller I really value authenticity and this hotel has it. Old furniture, old house, but still very nice touches. The room was very specious with high ceiling. The staff was truly friendly and willing to help. Location is 5 min walk from Galata Tower, a bit uphill, but this area is all like that. Totally recommend.

We were completely satisfied with our stay. The room was clean, warm, and located in an excellent, quiet area very close to Galata Tower. The service from the staff was impeccable. They were polite, friendly, and always smiling, assisting us with everything we needed, including arranging an affordable taxi to the airport. Our experience was outstanding, and we will definitely return in the future. Highly recommended!

A wonderful place! Great location, service, and friendly hosts. Everything was very clean and cozy. The hotel is conveniently close to Galata Tower but situated on a quiet street away from the tourist crowds. The room décor was outstanding: a charming mix of traditional Turkish accents and modern amenities. It was warm, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and there was no noise to disturb our sleep.
