Really good Stay Near Galata Tower

rooftop viewsexcellent locationnearby restaurantsmain shopping street

The location was excellent and provided easy access to many attractions. I particularly enjoyed the rooftop views during breakfast and dinner. The hotel is close to Galata, the Galata Bridge, and many unique shops and restaurants. The main shopping street is nearby and the main sites are within a reasonable distance (easy to access).

The lift service was occasionally slow due to staff also using it. There was no separate service elevator which occasionally caused some waiting.

Service

The front desk staff were always ready to assist (Bedirhan was particularly helpful). They efficiently organized airport transfers and answered all questions. I found their attention to detail and proactive assistance commendable.
