I had a large, spacious room, stylish as befits a classical Galata building. Huge bed. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on the roof, with fine views. It’s a normal Turkish hotel breakfast. The hotel is set on the Golden Horn and near lots of wonderful areas.

Booked this for a long layover and it was a perfect location. Very central and easy to walk to many areas. The shower drained slowly like a previous review said, and the rooms did have some wear, but we loved the traditional look of the rooms and hotel. Would love to stay here again!
