fantastic stay near galata tower

excellent locationhelpful staffluggage storagedirty street

the hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk from galata tower and many restaurants. the staff were helpful, assisting with directions and recommendations. i was able to leave my luggage after checkout (my flight was later in the day).

The street where the hotel is located was quite dirty. It made a bad first impression.

Service

The staff responded quickly whenever i requested something, like extra water. They were always attentive. the front desk helped organize a transfer to the airport and the price was fair.

Rooms

8/10

The room included air conditioning, a lifesaver during the warmer days. It worked very well. my room also had netflix and youtube on the tv (i was so glad!).

Dining

there were many places to eat nearby, with lots of restaurants just a short walk away. the location allowed me to easily try different cuisines. (i found many great spots!).

Location

10/10

the hotel is in a central place right next to galata tower, but it is also surprisingly quiet. it is easy to get to other areas of the city from the hotel.
