Me, my wife and three-year old son stayed July 3-5. The memories are overall pleasant. The location, adjacent to the Galata Bridge, was ideal for us. Sultanahmet was accessible on foot. We had ample opportunity to sit late at the scenic Karakoy. Galata Tower was half a Km. There were plenty of lunch/dinner/breakfast options and a money exchange right outside the hotel street. The room was spacious, and usually peaceful at night, with adequate furniture and storage space and a modern cooling option. The breakfast was probably adequate. Tea was available round the clock in the lobby. The staff members were always smiling and tried their best to tackle any issues/needs highlighted. Mr. Bora stood out for his command of English and booking an excellent sea cruise for us. There were a couple of negatives however. The lift was quite small and suffocating, barely accommodating the three of us. Second, there were problems with the washroom – lack of proper drainage and a faulty door lock. However, given the various advantages we will not mind returning to stay here.

Read good and bad reviews but decided to take the plunge anyway. Booked 3 nights. Arrived way too early(06:30) for us to book in but the friendly young man at reception offered us coffee and tea. We left our luggage in a corner on the lobby and took a stroll along the Bosphorus quayside and Galata Bridge and returned at about 11. The good news was that he secured us a room so we could book in and just rest our weary bodies for a while. The room was small and had a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs. We ended up booking an extra night and found the room perfect for its purpose, sleep and shower. The breakfasts were adequate with a good selection of cheeses, olives, breads and juices, coffees and Turkish tea. Best of all is the situation of this hotel. Literally a minute or 2 walk to the karakoy iskelesi ( ferry station) or a similar walk to the tram station. You are literally next door to the Galata Bridge with its many restaurants and fisherman. If you like the area but want a more upmarket hotel consider the Ada Hotel Special Class in the same Street. The friendly staff win me over and we'll gladly stay there on our next visit.
