This is a great hotel, clean, comfortable and near excellent tram and metro connections. The staff are fabulous and really helpful. Being near to Galatas tower there are a large number of eating and dining options nearby. The only drawback is if you are placed in the annex there are two flights of stairs to negotiate before you get to the lift.

Our stay was exceptional from start to finish. The room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. As a loyal customer, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary room upgrade, which made our experience even more special. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Their warm hospitality truly stood out and made us feel valued throughout our stay. The location was also excellent, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and conveniences nearby, making it easy to explore the area and find everything we needed. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning again in the future.
