The breakfasts were tasty with a breathtaking view. The twin/double room was budget, very well taken care of. The hotel was placed in the very central location to the Galata bridge.

The setting is exceptionally nice, adjacent to metro station and tram station and the "sea side ", very lively area. The breakfast is savoury, with a breathtaking view.
In a hotel like this - hair is unacceptable.

New-fashioned deluxe king room with a nice view. With coffee/tea making machines and a refrigerator. Very central location by taxi at night. And near Karakoy, Istiklal street and Shishane metro station, and Kabatas tram station. Honestly nothing too much trouble.
