“The location was fantastic, a short walk from Galata Bridge and the main sights. The area has lots of charming shops that don't feel touristy. The Lord High Admiral was handy for a drink nearby.”

“Huge bed and a silent room with an amazing view over the Golden Horn. The bathroom was spotless, and the staff were pleasant. The location is especially good – close to the city centre, an authentic restaurant, the bazaar, the main bridge, the metro, and the airport bus. Early check-in was a bonus.”
