10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location to the main attractions. Hotel is next to the Golden Horn River, 5 mins walk to the Galata bridge, to the tram station, Halic metro station and Galata Tower. Make sure to ask for a room in the new building. The smaller old building is kind of outdated. Lots of eating shops along the Golden Horn. So glad that I chose this hotel. Hotel also has a rooftop restaurant with excellent views.

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous location and incredible views of the Bosporus. Personalized service and a friendly, helpful and caring staff whose warm greetings always made me feel at home. Even though I had a problem with booking ( “no refunds” —- I had made an error on my arrival day) I was more than happy to return after a five-day excursion to Cappadocia. General Manager Ali was available in person and by text for any question or concern. I enjoyed the rooftop restaurant. And the staff there accommodated my special requests. (Restaurant service was a bit slow, but I was not in a rush. Vacation! The meals were delicious and always beautifully plated, and presented with style)
