This place is in an amazing location, right between Istiklal street and Galeta tower. Everything you’d need is right on the block and Gorgis is a fantastic host. He is constantly upgrading the units and adding special touches, is quick to offer assistance about the area and even hosted my friend and I for several hookah sessions.
Americans may get a little thrown off by the way Turkish people count the floors (they skip the ground floor like the French), so by our reckoning it’s actually on the fifth floor. Anyone older or with difficulty taking stairs should keep that in mind.
Otherwise, one of my best stays anywhere!
