The most important advantage of the hotel is its location. It provides easy access to the main attractions. Within walking distance is the Galata bridge, through which you can get to the old town, the Galata Tower itself. There is a tram stop nearby. And a couple of minutes walk from the pier, from which you can get to the Asian part of the city by ferry.
The Karakey district itself deserves special attention, with many restaurants, bars and street food outlets. However, here lies the first disadvantage - noise until late at night. We stayed at the hotel in October. It doesn't seem to be the season, but at night it felt like you were in the epicenter of a party. The fun ends at about 2 a.m.
Of the advantages, there are also excellent breakfasts: the choice is not huge, but the products are high-quality, everything is delicious. Surprisingly, even the Turkish sausage was not bad. Breakfast is served on the top floor with panoramic views. From a close distance, you can see the church of Russian emigrants of the early 20th century on the roof of one of the houses.
I did not like the rooms: they are small, there is very little space. The safe is located under the bed, in a drawer, it needs to be fully pulled out to open the safe and if the drawer is not closed, you can painfully kick yourself getting out of bed. The pillows were terribly uncomfortable, and my neck ached after sleeping. The cleaning was timely and good. Bathrobes are provided only upon request at the reception.
The spa area is not large but cozy, the massage room does not work during the off-season, there is no staff at all in the pool area. Towels and water can be taken independently at the counter. The hammam works all day and no one monitors its condition, it is dry and hot, to use it you need to water it and wait for some time. However, in the absence of staff and other visitors, the spa area was completely at our disposal, which has its advantages. There is a small gym with everything you need.
In general, the hotel met my expectations, the price / quality is consistent

Convenient location, friendly staff, well-maintained rooms, separate toilet and shower, rooms are cleaned carefully, towels are changed daily, as well as slippers are constantly updated. Of the cons, perhaps, the smell of fried mackerel from street restaurants, it is better not to leave the windows in the afternoon...
