Very nice location adjust 2 min from Galata tower
The most unfriendly stuff. I booked a hotel for my sister - it was her first in Istanbul. I asked via email to describe how the entrance looks or to send me pictures of the entrance of the hotel - since most of the hotels in the center don’t look like hotels more like shops. The stuff never bothered to - they said there are pictures on their site. Which didn’t work of course and they knew that I booked at booking so I never had a chance to get the pictures if there were any. Inside the hotel was ok more or less. Though no maps of the city were available nor the stuff wanted to answer any questions of the guests. Keep in mind that WiFi doesn’t work in the lobby and when my sister stayed there for a minute the stuff told her to go to her room. I suppose the hotel doesn’t have a problem with guests due to their location, but my sister had no internet Istanbul and the lack of map or any help to find around really made her stay there unwelcoming and affected her impression of the city. It’s always the little things that spoil the whole trip :( So if it’s your first time in Istanbul I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND THE HOTEL. We’re not returning here.
The location and value for money are unbeatable! The entrance through the shop is a bit peculiar, but it always worked perfectly as the shop is open 24/7.
