great locationattentive teamfresh roomcute atmosphere
I really enjoyed the proximity to Galata Tower. The staff were always eager to help with directions. I found the cleanliness of the room to be perfect. Everything felt fresh. I extended my stay due to the cute atmosphere created by the attentive team.
The street noise at night was noticeable, requiring earplugs for light sleepers.

The location is WONDERFUL. Galata Tower is just a short walk. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a very functional bathroom, and there was no unpleasant smell.
It was easy to hear guests in the room next door because of an adjoining door.
