Carolyn from United Kingdom (9/10)
Very friendly staff and great location. Beautiful room and nice bar and breakfast. Reception staff very helpful. Also used the spa and had a wonderful massage from Irene. The location was good as easy access by tram to tourist spots but not in the thick of it.

Perfect location. Close to everything, but also quiet.

Qi from Germany (8/10)
1. Location is very good, we walked to Galata tower before breakfast and enjoyed the beautiful view almost for ourselves. The tram, bus and ferry stations are all in walking distance.
2. The more than hundred years old bank building has its flair. It’s nicely renovated into hotel rooms with very high ceiling (our room was on 1st floor).Malone from United States (9/10)
Location. Large rooms with towering ceilings. Modern bathrooms. Good airconditioning. The rooftop restaurant is excellent.
