Didn't stay here but followed the reviews to go for an evening drink. Lovely view and terrace . They had a champagne offer w strawberries , we thought why not ?. Flat champagne served in a chipped glass and an almost rotten strawberry. Rude indifferent service , nothing like everywhere else in Istanbul. We left quickly

I didn't stay at this hotel, preferring to stay closer to the buzzy area of Taksim Square, so I came here for a relaxing after-dinner drink with a friend. After a slightly worryingly clunky elevator ride to the terrace, we were sat atop Istanbul, right next to the Galata Tower. Watching the sun set from here and the evening turn... More

I couldn't really decide whether to give this hotel a 3 or a 4. The service and comfort of the rooms is probably a 3, but the location which is just amazing makes me wanna push it up to 4. We had a really great room (i think junior suite) which was big and at the back of the hotel.... More

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Great location, comfortable rooms, very pleasant staff, great wine bar in the basement and a rooftop restaurant with a wonderful view (especially at night) over the old quarter of Istanbul. Our only complaint was that at our friends' celebratory dinner in the restaurant, the serving staff kept talking over the speeches. Despite... More

Nice hotel and friendly people. Nice modern bathroom and kind of an old school interior to the bedrooms. My only complaint would be based on the fact that I was on the 4th floor. Which is under the terrace that starts serving breakfast very early. So if you don't want to hear the screeching noise of tables and chairs moving... More

Despite several minor issues at our hotel (needed to use service elevator as primary one kept breaking down; phone ringing in middle of the night; crowd noise around the Galata tower until late; AC was weak), we enjoyed our suite/room for 3. The dark curtains were needed as the spotlights on the tower are lit all night. The staff was... More

Great view from the terrace : go there for a drink in day time when the sun shines to really enjoy the view. Good service, nice music.Not crowded. You can enjoy a quiet afternoon in couple or with friends Prices: 10 TL a Turkish coffee. You pay for the view but worth of it as this is kind of places... More

Wonderful little hotel in Galata just by the tower. Istanbul is literally on your door step as are loads of restaurants, bars, art shops and galleries. The staff are great and the service is very good. The rooms are spacious and clean and the hotel is continually being upgraded. The restaurant on the top floor has magnificent views of Istanbul...

Shortly into the new year we visited Istanbul and stayed at this hotel. It was warm and comfortable and taxis always knew where it was as it is right adjacent to the Galata Tower which can be seen from all over the city. It included breakfast which was substantial and we overlooked the square. Many small places nearby to dine... More
