Reviews
On the other hand, my friends’ room was even more of a disaster. It rained and the paint came off the walls and fell on the bed. The bathroom had no light and the staff came 3 times to change the light bulb and it still didnt work.
Try to avoid this place, but for one night its ok…
The free breakfast was yummy, there were a lot of options.
Fair price and good location nearby lots of shops and markets.
I didn't like the fact that one window has no blinds, which forces you to wake up early.
Every day brought a new issue we weren’t expecting: the internet went out, the power went out, we couldn’t access our room, etc. In a whole week, the room was never cleaned, and the towels were never replaced—despite us asking three times. Each time, they promised but never followed through.
The furniture was broken, the mattress had springs sticking out (which was dangerous), and the bathroom was moldy, with visible hair everywhere. It felt hazardous to our health. Everything the hotel advertised on their website was false.
The neighborhood was run-down and felt unsafe. Breakfast was repetitive and poor—there weren’t even knives. Anything we happened to like disappeared from the menu for the rest of the week.
We thought about leaving for another place every single day. It was not a good experience at all. In Hungary, places like this would be shut down and fined.

One of the best parts is the breathtaking view. You can clearly see the Galata Tower, and the entire surrounding area is visible from the café. The panoramic view makes the whole experience even more magical, especially while enjoying a coffee.
The service was excellent, and a special thanks to the host, Muhammad, who was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He made sure everything was perfect and made us feel genuinely comfortable.
The seating is comfortable, the ambiance is peaceful, and the overall experience was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a charming café with great hospitality and one of the best views in the city.
Will definitely visit again! ☕✨
Everything was fresh and delicious. Special thanks to Mr. Muhammet for his kindness and attention.
Definitely recommend!
The owners and staff were extremely helpful, booked a taxi to the airport for us and were very accommodating, conversating with us and offering tea.
