Nice location (especially if you want a 5:15 wake
Great location. Very friendly staff. This is a VERY small hotel. Only real issue, which is outside the hotel’s control, is that it is right next to a mosque, which blares the morning call to prayer over loudspeakers at sunrise every day, which was 5:12am when we visited. It goes on for a long time and is impossible to sleep through. Beware if you don’t plan to get up at that time.

Charming small hotel in central location. We had a deluxe room on the 4th floor (401) with ‘partial sea view’ and balcony. The room was small, the balcony was nice but there is no sea view. It’s also important to call out that there is no elevator so we had to climb 79 steps up and down each time we left the room. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We would recommend the hotel but suggest requesting a room on a lower floor if you have any health or other concerns related to the stairs and skip the partial sea view room option.

This boutique hotel is located in the bustling, vibrant Galata area. The room was perfect for my husband, myself, and my teenaged daughter, with a separate sitting area with twin bed for her. The room was mostly quiet except for call to prayer, which does happen in the middle of the night but didn’t really bother us. Also one night there was a party in the building across from us which was loud. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They organized travel from the airport and laundry service both of which were reasonably priced. The only problem is that the air conditioning units didn’t work well and it was incredibly hot in Istanbul when we were there. Also the coffe shop downstairs had limited options for breakfast. All in all it was a good hotel for a good price.

Erkan Bey was very friendly and helpful welcoming us to Istanbul. Murat Bey helped us with recommendations and transportation around the city. Overall their hospitality is above and beyond and a great example of Turkish hospitality.

You cannot beat this location in the middle of Gelata. Walk about 7-8 mins to the tram station to connect to the main areas as well. Sultanahmet is 4 stops away and iskitlal street is 5 mins from the hotel too.
However, the property has no lift and the rooms are a bit cramped and infrastructure is old and needs to be done up for sure.

Nice small hotel near the Galata tower. Room pluses: good air conditioning, clean, comfortable bed. Minuses: no storage, very small and a very loud call to prayer at 5:30 in the morning.
The neighborhood was great; close to everything, we felt very safe and found terrific eating options close by.

The staff was amazing, friendly, attentive, helpful. They were easy to communicate with before and during our stay. They helped us arrange transportation and a tour guide which were excellent. They answered our questions and helped us feel home in a new city. The rooms were clean and spacious. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Amazing hospitality!
This is a very lovely boutique hotel with attached coffee shop. The rooms are modern, well decorated, and comfortable, but the best aspect is the service from the team. They go above and beyond to help you during your stay, and it's so nice returning to their welcoming faces and a cozy but busy coffee shop. Feels much more like a neighborhood experience than other hotels.
Excellent location for walking around, lots of restaurants and bars, and we even had a leisurely walk back from the Old City.
We were 2 friends traveling, but I would return as a solo female traveler too. The coffee shop stays open late and feels safe and welcoming to come back to + the hotel staff

The staff was great! From the check-in process to checkout! Felt at home. FIRAT, ANT, ISMAIL went above and beyond. We walked throughout the city and came to conclusion that this is the best location. Very walkable to most attractions.
