Hotel is very nice for the price and location. Staff were super helpful and i have no complaints with them. Would not recommend breakfast buffet. Also the "safe" driver who took me to the airport texted on all 3 of his phones the whole time to the airport. Sometimes yelling at his phone and swerving all while it was raining and seatbelt didnt work. Other than that great stay.

Nice venue. Well located for Galata without being in the madness of Taksim. Easy 10 min downhill walk to Karaköy station to get the tram to the Old City. Bathroom lovely. Breakfast nice, phenomenal view over the Bosphorus. Be aware however that heading to Galata is a bit of an uphill; there are different degrees of slope depending on how quickly you want to get there however so it’s not too bad.

Most of the staff people were very friendly and the rooms and view was very nice BUT this is the most unprofessional hotel i’ve ever stayed at. There was an incident where my friend lost her wallet and we called 10 times at the hotel front desk and nobody ever replied. Then when we departed from it I asked a business invoice which they told me okay and 2 months later i still don’t have the invoice. I had to contact them 2 times in order to ask again and again they kept telling me they’ll get back to me and they never did which is super unprofessional and shows lack of responsibility towards customers
