You cannot beat the location! Two minute walk from Galata Tower! Cute neighborhood, walkable to Galata bridge and Sultanahmet neighborhood. Istiklal Avenue is minutes away. I loved the cobblestone streets around the hotel , small cafes. Lots of dining options, souvenir shops, very vibrant area. The room was decent , spacious, may be just a bit dated. Comfortable queen size bed. We had a third person who had to sleep on the couch, which was wide enough but did not unfold and was a bit firm. But you don’t spend much time in the room in Istanbul! I would definitely recommend this place to any Istanbul traveler. This was my first trip to Istanbul and I am glad I booked in this neighborhood. I would definitely choose this over other neighborhoods.
