Excellent stay. The hotel is ideally located, making everything easily accessible. The highlight was the bedding, really top-notch and very comfortable. Despite the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood, the room was absolutely quiet. In short: well located, perfect bed, and no noise. I recommend

  • I received a room that seemed to be the hotel's reception, the owner saying that the room I had booked had a bathroom malfunction... On the 2nd night, I received the room I had reserved. The door of the first room was sliding, with windows through which the interior of the room could be seen!

I liked everything! Clean room, great location, a couple of minutes to Galata, but the hotel is located in a quiet alley. Very close to the metro, so I got to and from the airport by public transport and saved a lot. Excellent, comfortable bed, good bedding. Everything was wonderful.

Excellent and inexpensive hotel

Convenient location in the central streets, within walking distance of Galata Tower, the only downside is that it's not easy to find in the small streets of Istanbul, but the merchants helped us. It is located on a street where musical instruments are sold. The room is very small, not enough space for two people, suitable for 1-2 nights, not longer. And there is no kettle and cups. But overall, it's okay for an overnight stay, clean and good. Thanks to the administrator for the hospitality.

Excellent hotel for its price

The hotel is perfectly located: 2 minutes to the metro, on one side begins a pedestrian street with shops, and on the other side - Galata Tower and further the historical center with all the sights. The hotel owner helped with the luggage, offered a room upgrade for $7. Advised places for breakfast and was very friendly. He was always available. The room was spacious, had everything needed. It was warm in the room in winter.
