Our room was at the ground floor and the reception and the entrance were there too. So before midnight there was no quietness. The tap was dripping.

Good placement, 3 min to the tram station and too close to Galata Tower. 10 min walking distance from Galata bridge. Many options for restaurants and coffee nearby.

Thin walls & small bathroom for bigger people but everything clean and new

Friendliest and kindest stuff ever!

The rooms were a bit worn down. The cleaning staff didn't provide enough stuff for the room (cups, toilet paper, etc)

The staff were exceptionally friendly and nice. That was the best thing about the hotel.

There are very few down sides, in our opinion. Worth noting, though, that the immediate surroundings, only the first few metres of properties outside the hotel, are a little dilapidated. It won't bother many travellers (one person's 'down market' is another person's 'charming authenticity') and it's as safe as anywhere else at night (perhaps more so, compared to London, New York, Paris....). Just don't expect Park Lane on the doorstep. There are no stunning city views from the hotel.

Very friendly and helpful English-speaking staff at the 24hr reception. The room we had seemed recently refurbished and it was very comfortable, air conditioned and well serviced by housekeeping every day. Perhaps it might be seen as small, as is the hotel building, but it served us well for our three day exploration of Istanbul. It had a good-sized double bed (comfy), tea/coffee making facilities, en suite with good shower, TV, and an openable full depth door to a mini balcony, if you prefer fresh air. The hotel is only five minutes walk from Galataport and the T1 tram. The latter takes you very cheaply to several important historical sites in a matter of 10 minutes or so, as well as ferries for the Asian side. Less than five minutes in the other direction, and the tram reaches its terminus; just a few minutes walk from small ship cruises on the Bosphorus. The hotel offers a private transfer service to/from IST, the new main airport, for 50 Euros. For returning to the airport with a 5am start, we asked reception to book a yellow taxi with the price quoted in advance and payable by card . That cost 1,100 lira (we use Revolut, so no exchange charges on it or similar cards, note that AMEX is only rarely accepted in the city), about £28 Sterling at the time and was perfectly fit for purpose and good value. We arrived at IST from London in the early hours of the morning and booked an hotel near the airport before proceeding to the city later in the morning (unnecessary, as the Galata Master, also known as Galata Masterpiece, has that 24hr reception). Of course, Istanbul is a hilly city and those can be steep, worth remembering when going upwards from the hotel to seek out one of the many cafes and restaurants in the immediate area or if walking with heavy luggage. Overall, a great base for city explorers but, depending upon your view of these things, perhaps not your first choice for a romantic bolthole with all the 'trimmings'.

The rooms were a bit too small for 2 people but it's definitely fine for the price

Everything was good. The staff were so nice and helpful. The hotel was so clean, the location is really good very close to Galata tower and the Istiklal street. It is also close to the tramway station. I highly recommend

The lane was quiet and was not very easy to locate at the first time.

The hotel is in a quiet lane, a few minutes walk from Galata Tower. On the plus side, it doesn't get noisy at all. It doesn't have the 'vibe' but has the perfect location with the required quiet to reach the busier parts. It's a short walk from the tram station. The room was big, with a balcony. The staff was helpful and understanding.

Value for your money. Excellent location close to attractions and local shops and restaurants.

Photos make the rooms look more spacious, but in person were quite small. But still comfortable.

Good location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They offered us a transport card to save us having to get one. The location is convenient to all the tourist attractions. Istanbul is a very nice city to walk around. The tram is nearby and the shopping district was only about a 12 min walk away!

Everything was great. I'm sorry I had to leave and come back home.

The hotel is in a perfect location, near the Galatas Tower and the Pera and Karakoy areas. The nearest tram stop is 5 mins walk. The road of the hotel seems a bit dodgy but actually is a safe area, it has great day and night life. Just around the corner are great coffee shops for breakfast, cute little shops for clothes, accessories and home products, a great bookshop cafe, street food etc. And the people in the area and the hotel receptionists are very kind and friendly. You feel like home. Like you lived there forever. If I ever come again to Istanbul I would definitely come here again.

A wonderful hotel! The location was chosen more than successfully. Quiet streets where you can get to the main street of the city in 5 minutes, get to the Galata Bridge in 10 minutes or go to the embankment in 7 minutes. There are shops and small cafes nearby. The staff is very friendly, they can tell you and tell you everything. The rooms are always clean - cleaning every day after you leave the room. I.e. you will never be disturbed. We stayed in the room for a week and really felt at home. We recommend it!!
