Reviews
The staff were extremely unfriendly and unprofessional. During my stay, I had a conflict situation with them, after which I left an honest 1-star review on Google.
Before my check-out, the situation escalated further — the management started putting pressure on me and even making me feel uncomfortable and intimidated, insisting that I delete my review. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable.
Hospitality is not just about the room, but about how guests are treated. Unfortunately, this hotel completely fails in terms of customer service.
I would not recommend staying here if you expect respectful and professional treatment.
- Meals (breakfast)
Would definitely benefit from a washroom exhaust fan and was difficult to have the room cleaned even after leaving the electronic sign at door requesting a daily clean....
The location is right near Galata tower and bridge but reception attempted to claim a 750 Lyra charge upon checkout for an allegedly emptied mini fridge that was not even found in the room during our stay.....
Would stay there again while being double vigilant concerning tours peddled upon checkin and any extra charges requested upon checkout ......
All the guys and girls are so helpful, anything you need they’ll help you with.
Thank you so much, guys!
Will back for sure.
Çok teşekkür ederim.
Hotel spa also a good option if you want to try Turkish Bath, but only open till 9pm. So better try in the afternoon time after some long walking in the first half of the day.
Hotel room is small, but good enough for solo travelers.
