The location of this hotel in Galata was very convenient, right next to the metro and Galata Tower. The Concierge Service was great, hotel was clean and the rooms were spacious with a nice design. The Hammam was amazing and highly recommended Hidade was brilliant. The concierge were helpful. The roof top bar has amazing views so don’t miss this hidden gem! To be honest this was the best hotel we stayed at during our 5 week Europe trip. We’ll be back!

I wasn’t aware of it when I booked the hotel but my favourite part of the stay was the historical Hamam in the hotel. I also got 20% off the Hamam experience for booking the hotel through Expedia. Otherwise the hotel was quite well located and had a good selection of tea. Only thing I’d note is that we followed the process for eco house keeping (I.e not having the sheets or towels replaced) but they were replaced anyway.

We had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The rooms were exceptionally clean, well maintained, and presented to a high standard. Throughout our stay, the staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The only minor drawback was the room size, which felt a little cramped with two pieces of luggage, although we were able to make it work. We would definitely return and would happily recommend the hotel to others. We also took advantage of the complimentary Hammam experience offered to guests. While we enjoyed the treatment itself, we found the spa staff to be somewhat unhelpful, as very little information or guidance was provided about the process, which detracted slightly from the overall experience.
