The value for money was great, with clean and comfortable rooms. The location near Galata Tower was perfect for exploring, and the friendly staff made me feel welcome throughout my stay at the hotel.
The breakfast option could be improved by starting earlier for those who wake up early.

We actually stayed in 2 different hotels during our trip to Istanbul. One in Sultanamet which was nice but not many restaurants or fun nightlife around it. This hotel was in a great location for that, close to the Galata Tower, and tons of restaurants on the side streets as you reached uphill around the up-market shopping street. The room was on the small side but was clean and the staff was friendly.

Conveniently located
The twin bed room was tiny! It should be a single room. the bathroom was a joke. it was about 0.8m x 1.5m. when you open the door, it would hit the sink - the sink which was already the tiniest thing you've ever seen. the shower was above the toilet bowl. so when you shower, everything gets wet, including the door. no lifts, so you'd better not get a room on the upper most floor. Breakfast was just a slices of tomatoes, cucumber, olives (all of which I do not eat), a hard boiled egg and slices of bread with some packets of jam/butter. compared to the buffet spread at the other b&b we stayed at accross the river which cost just a little more, we were much disappointed. Definitely more of a hostel- type establishment then a B&B/hotel.

The location was as good as it can be and staff was nice.
The shower in the room, or lack of the shower in the room... If you take a shower it means the whole bathroom becomes a shower. The hotel had no noise insulation what so ever.

The location of the hotel is excellent, close to taksim square, restaurants and bars. The hotel is quiet. Rather good value for money.
Quasi absence of service: no change of towels during 5 nights (only upon request), no cleaning of the room (only one day before check-out), unfriendliness of the staff. The room needs better maintenance, there was humidity on the wall. They also asked us to pay for the whole stay upon arrival, before we even had the chance to check the room!

The hotel is very well located just near the Galata Tower. The street is the street of music, so, it is very young and there is a great atmosphere! The neighborhood is dynamic!
The award of the night is too expensive compared to the quality. Our room was very small for a week, we had double beds, and our room was not made for 3 days! Waiting for breakfast is very long.

This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of the bustling Beyoglu district. The location is absolutely fantastic, being right on the iconic Istiklal street and just a stone's throw away from the Galata Tower. The vibrant atmosphere of the area is simply unbeatable, with plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants to explore. Despite being in such a busy area, the hotel somehow manages to provide a peaceful and comfortable stay. The rooms, although small, are well-appointed with attention to detail and equipped with basic amenities. The staff are friendly and accommodating, making you feel like part of their family. And let's not forget about the breakfast - it offers a decent variety and even includes delicious pancakes.
All in all, our stay at this hotel was absolutely fine.

Nice location, friendly excellent staff.
Top rear bedroom (called Bosphorous) is ridiculously small, the more so when we caught a glimpse of the top front bedroom which looked really spacious.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, right near the Galata Tower in the busy Beyoglu Istiklal street area. It's perfect for exploring the city and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The staff are really friendly and helpful, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The rooms may be on the smaller side, but they are well-appointed with basic amenities and attention to detail. The breakfast provided is delicious and will definitely keep you satisfied until lunchtime.
The cleanliness of the tiny ensuite bathroom on the uppermost floor could be better.

We loved the hotel's location, close to Istikal Street and public transportation. It was easy to visit all the main attractions in this city, such as Taksim Square, and we appreciated the easy access to the metro. The cleanliness of this place impressed us, as well as the helpful attitude of the staff. Plus, the breakfast was really good!
Nothing we didn't like to be fair.
