The room was small but cute, convenient location, safe , accessible to transportation, breakfast was good, is worth the price we pay and we will come again and recommend it to anyone.
Great hotel, the staff were very friendly and the location was good, I could walk to all the main tourist sites and there were many restaurants around.
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.
Check in was easy and the location is great! Shower door in our room didn’t really close and the first night the AC went out, however; that issues was quickly resolved. The breakfast was a pretty great way to start off day, which getting anywhere from here was very easy due to the close public transportation. I’d recommend the hotel if you don’t mind some minor issues.
The hotel is perfectly placed for all tourist attractions. Tha afternoon receptionist was just lazy and quite frankly shouldn't be in hospitality. The morning guy was very helpfully, polite and friendly. Overall great location and good price.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The street noise in front of the hotel is excessive; frequent cars lay on their horns all night long. The hotel windows do very little to mitigate this. Almost no sleep was had for two nights. The mini fridge would not stay on and the TV had no signal. Plus, the heavy glass shower door is stuck on the concrete sill at the bottom and makes a terrible noise if moved. No showers were taken over two days. The good things that can be said: close to metro and Galata tower, friendly staff, nice breakfast room with decent breakfast.
