The property is located in a convenient area for shopping and site seeing. The Galata tower is within walking distance and it's also close to the cruise port.
The staff is extremely welcoming and answered our questions.

I have travelled extensively for many years and have stayed in countless hotels. I chose this hotel from an extensive list of Istanbul hotels. The reviews were all very positive and mine agreed with theirs, the cost extremely affordable,; compared to the prices in Canada and USA , an amazingly inexpensive find....a full and delicious breakfast buffet , to satisfy the most discerning person. is included with your room reservation.

Great location and friendly staff
This place is in a fantastic location! You can easily walk to all the main attractions in the city centre.
There are loads of great restaurants and bars nearby, which means it can get a bit lively and hard to get a good night’s sleep (especially on a Saturday night). Nonetheless, the hotel has a lovely rooftop with stunning views of the city and the Galata Tower.
The breakfast (8:00 am to 10:30 am) changes every day, so you get to try different Turkish flavours. I wish they had some international options too, though.
The staff were super friendly and attentive, and they made us feel right at home. There’s always someone to greet you at the door and to offer you local tips.
