Hotel is very nice for the price and location. Staff were super helpful and i have no complaints with them. Would not recommend breakfast buffet. Also the "safe" driver who took me to the airport texted on all 3 of his phones the whole time to the airport. Sometimes yelling at his phone and swerving all while it was raining and seatbelt didnt work. Other than that great stay.

A welcoming and clean hotel

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and welcoming. It is an easy walk to the metro station. All the major attractions in Istanbul are easy to get to either walkable or with public transportation. We used the pool and spa facilities, it was great after a busy day exploring the city.

Nice venue. Well located for Galata without being in the madness of Taksim. Easy 10 min downhill walk to Karaköy station to get the tram to the Old City. Bathroom lovely. Breakfast nice, phenomenal view over the Bosphorus. Be aware however that heading to Galata is a bit of an uphill; there are different degrees of slope depending on how quickly you want to get there however so it’s not too bad.

Great hotel. Lovely helpful staff. Fantastic varied breakfast. Easy transport system to the centre. Ate out in the hotel area of Galata rather than the centre as less touristy. Only downside was that the hotel pool was very cold (okay I guess if it's the summer and hot outside) so only used it once. I

Metro station five minutes up the hill. Half hour walk over the Galata Bridge to ALL must-see sites: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Spice Market, Grand Bazaar.
