It was a smooth and comfy stay in a central location. The rooms are basic but meets all the standards for a short stay in Istanbul. They were quick to respond to our questions. It is very close to Galata's cafes and bars but the streets leading to room can get dodgy at late night,particularly for female travellers. And the shower head in our room was really short and I had to bend on my knees to go under the shower. (I am 1.80 tall and it was shorter than me) . Overall, I can recommend this place!
