I found the hotel very enjoyable. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The location of the hotel was perfect for taking a cruise from Galata Port. Could not ask for more.

We had a fantastic stay. Our two concierges, Bugra and Chiarra, were amazing and worked so hard to set up numerous events and meals for us. We can’t thank them enough!
The hotel is in a perfect location!

The Staff are amazing. They go beyond to help out.
The location is brilliant.
The rooms are a bit old and need more cleaning and attention.
