Super Central Location and Great Team!

perfect location short walk helpful staff easy reach

The hotel is in a perfect spot near the Karakoy pier. I could easily walk around. The Galata Bridge was just a short walk away, perfect for exploring. I really liked how easy it was to reach the funicular for the Galata Tower. Staff were always ready to help with directions and any questions I had.

The bathroom was rather small.
