  Great Locatian. Great Potential. Greatly needs a renovation

  17 Feb 2026

  This is a very well located hotel in the Galata neighborhood of Istanbul. We picked it for its proximity to the metroline and the fact that we could basically walk to all of the interesting sites. The rooms look much nicer in the photos than in real life. The hotel needs to be renovated or at least the rooms should be painted. The paint in the bathroom was falling off of the walls and there was a lot of mould on the tiles. Since it wasn't clear when we booked I think I should mention that breakfast is not included and it is not available in the hotel even though it said it cost 10 euros on the booking form. I guess it is ok for the price but it has a lot more potential.

  A hidden and elusive rare gem

  14 Sept 2025

  I absolutely loved this little gem of a hotel. What the hotel may have lacked in initial virtual engagement (Agoda's fault not the hotel's), the eventual meeting on the day of and subsequently during my 5 night stay is nothing short of Turkish charm and warmth. The hotel is well situated in the heart of the Golden Horn and near Galata tower and captures the spirit of small little cobblestone lanes & hubub. I was upgraded to a larger room on the top floor and boy did it not disappoint in terms of view and ambience. The staff really made this place - Serhat who suffered countless conversations on books and activities, Emre and his German literature studies, and Fadhime (sp?) the charming sprite of a housekeeper with a very sweet embrace and nature. I spent $60 a night at this place to live like a queen.

  Google maps is wrong.

  02 Jun 2025

  Google maps sends you to the wrong hotel. The actual hotel is 10 meters up the steps on your left on top of the Chinese and Sushi express restaurant. It took me 30 minutes of dragging a suitcase around to find it. No security guard, taxi driver or random person had a clue where it was.

  Don't stay here!

  19 Mar 2025

  Roof terrace wasn't available due to construction work. (which could be heard from room during day).Room smelt of stale cigarette smoke in spite of requesting non-smokingroom.Disturbing services shaft outside rear 'window' of the room - total fire safety risk.Grille to bathroom ventilation shaft had fallen off...not surprising given it had been stuck on with double sided sticky tape!Wire for light fitting sticking out of wall with no light there.We ended up going elsewhere as dreaded each time we needed to go back to the room.

  happy stay

  20 Sept 2023

  Manager and other staff also very friendly. We arrived early and while checking out we got late. they did not crib or ask for any extra charge. but they were understanding and loving with broad smile. hotel is 600 meters away from galata tower and main street. beyond all this it is budget friendly. only minuses they dont have breakfast but next door is a cafe and beyond this cafe there are many more cafes in vicinity. cleanliness: 5/5helpful: 5/5affordable: 5/5spacious: depends upon rooms you choose.
