A small (10 rooms) hotel in the center of the European part of the city and next to the metro, 4 minutes to the Galata Tower and 1 minute to Istiklal Street; you can get to the hotel from the Galata Bridge embankment (Karakey station) by Tunel funicular when you get tired of walking uphill) in general, the location is the best. The hotel has a good responsive staff. The shower was working properly, if cleaning is needed every day, please let us know, we asked for cleaning every other day. There is no breakfast, but it is not necessary with such a variety of cafes nearby. If necessary, there is a roomservice, a minibar. Visit the Big chef restaurant nearby - we really liked it there (lunch/ dinner), everything is delicious. The windows of the room overlooked the stairs and it was a little dark in the room, but cozy. On weekends, there is noise from the street (music from the club), late at night, take earplugs. It is important in March! There is heating that can be adjusted by yourself (battery). Wi-Fi works, but whatsup is much faster than telegram. On the 6th floor of the hotel there is a veranda with a wonderful view of the city. The receptionist kindly called us a taxi to the airport upon check-out. I recommend the hotel to travelers without children. I will be happy to choose this hotel again.

Good location, near the metro station (several exits), funicular 50 meters from the hotel (!), Istiklal pedestrian shopping street and the historic tram that will take you to Taksim Square along this street. The room was taken with a balcony on the 2nd floor, cozy, liked the design (wood), spacious bathroom, 2 watering cans in the shower and always excellent hot water pressure! Excellent safe, fits a laptop and all documents! BUT from Friday to Sunday it was very noisy, somewhere in the courtyards there was a bar with a disco (it was quieter on weekdays). The elevator is cool. On the 6-7 floors there is a panoramic view of the city and the Bosphorus, the Galata Tower. Room cleaning 1 time in 3 days, on the day of arrival they asked for a 300 lira deposit for a mini bar, said that we would not use it and did not leave it). Going out to Istiklal in the morning, you can have a great breakfast at the Clementin cafe (decorated with a huge number of flowers, you will not pass by). You can get to the airport by metro with 1 transfer, but we ordered a taxi for 800 lira.

It's a great place, we liked it! The hotel is small, cozy, as for me - solid three stars, of course there are signs of fatigue in some places, but the overall impressions are the best! The three of us lived together and we had a room with a huge bed and a corner sofa bed, everything was in order, a kettle, an excellent hair dryer, a minibar, and a small safe. The hotel is located less than a minute from the metro, if you take an elevator and less than a minute from the tunnel-descent to the Karakey tram station, there is also a bridge and a pier, again the tram along Istiklal stops less than a minute, the street itself begins there, respectively, in a word - the entire infrastructure. I would like to mention the staff separately - they are responsive and attentive, since starting from the moment of booking, I had a problem with prepayment, which is required by the rules, but they met me halfway and booked tickets without prepayment. We lived from March 17 to March 29, the guys at the hotel were always attentive, each time they clarified whether they needed anything that was required in the room, making our stay comfortable, for which all the staff thank you very much! I would definitely stay here again.
