Busy, young crowd

Clean, small room, decent wifi, excellent breakfast included...tough to find owing to some blocked streets Certainly worth it ...unless....you have bad knees or have trouble walking. . It's on a pretty significant hill and that can be areal problem. Otherwise, a winner.

nettes kleines Hotel, zentral gelegen

Personal sehr freundlich, unaufdringlich und hilfsbereit. Zimmer zweckmäßig eingerichtet, mit nur kleinen Abstrichen bei Sauberkeit. Ein Schwachpunkt ist das sehr kleine Duschbad/WC. Wir bekamen im Bett Rückenschmerzen, und mit der gemeinsamen Bettdecke mussten wir ein bisschen üben, bis es keinen Streit mehr gab. Da das Zimmer nach hinten lag, war es sehr ruhig.

Great location at a great price!

The location of this hotel was perfect for us. Close to Galata Tower, a landmark that can be seen from all over Istanbul. The quality of the hotel staff was a 5+, friendly, attentive service. The hotel has a European feel. The only reason I gave a 3 to 'cleanliness of your room' was due to not cleaning under beds. This is not to say the rooms were not clean, they were, but when you drop things and they roll under the beds and you went to retrieve the items, it would be nice if it weren't so dusty. That's it, great hotel otherwise. I would highly recommend.

Direkt zwischen Galata Turm & Istiqlal Str.gelegen

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt trotz äußerst einfacher Ausstattung. Sehr hilfsbereite, freundliche & rudimentär des Englischen Fähige Hotel-Managerin. Alles in allem für alle, die das Hotel als over night stop nutzen da permanent unterwegs eine gute Wahl.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Trivelig lite sted, men med kun 5 rom, var det rart at de glemte å rengjøre/bytte håndkler de 2 første dagene. Ellers greit, lå flott til nær hovedgaten, metro og trikk.
