This hotel is located just next to the Galata Tower, the location is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful, it looks like a family run business hotel to me. I especially enjoy my breakfast time, the serving was good and the view was fantastic. There are plenty of eateries and shops all around the hotel (walking distance), the surrounding is vibrant and lively. I also enjoy a couple of drinks at the roof top terrace where the view is great! It is a rather popular place among the locals too, so you have to be there early evening to get a good seat. I will definitely recommend to my friends, and will be back to the hotel again. Cheers!
