the location was acceptable, though the parking was expensive.
The bathroom in the room had a very strong sewage smell. The surrounding streets had almost no sidewalk and were cobblestone. arriving and leaving with suitcases required a taxi.

charming stay near galata tower!

easy reachlarge varietysmall room
the location proved convenient, just steps from galata tower. i found many shops and cafes nearby and liked that istiklal street was also within easy reach. the breakfast selection had a large variety of options, offering something for everyone and giving me plenty of choices each morning.
The rooms were somewhat small and i struggled to stand upright. i think the air conditioning could definitely be improved. It didn't work adequately at all.
