Well located just about 1/2 block from the famous Galata Tower, down a set of steps to a lower street. The room is self check in, there is a key pad to get into the small lobby and then you pick up they room key that has been left for you. Its a small room, but has most of the necessities that you need, clean towels (which maid service replaces most days) AC, Heat, a kettle for making tea or coffee, a mini refrigerate, good WIFI. But the location is really ideal for exploring Istanbul, just bring your comfortable shoes because you will be walking and climbing steep cobblestone streets. Plenty of cafes in the neighborhood and also a small grocery store right at the top of the steps.
