Great hotel in a good location in Karakoy, walkable to many dining spots and the Galata tower. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and modern - however, I would definitely pay a little bit extra and book a spacier standard room rather than the economy room (which is pretty much just a bed and bathroom). Lots of options for coffee and restaurants (though the famous dining area running parallel to the hotel street is almost entirely Turkish food...which is awesome, until you start craving variety after a few days). I do think the hotel is a bit too dimly lit, but that is the chosen vibe of the hotel. Finally, the woman working the front desk is very friendly and cute :)

Otelle ilgili bir sorun yok. Lokasyon olarak çok iyi. Standart oda beklenenden çok daha küçük. Sadece yatak sığacak kadar. Konum itibariyle özellikle ücretsiz otopark seçeneğini dikkate alıp, sonradan otoparka günlük 700₺ ödeme yaptık.
