Reviews
Then when I returned after my tour both my friend and I were put in totally different rooms which had no smell, were fresh and much bigger - friend even had a balcony with a view of the ferry terminal.
This hotel is situated on a very busy road across the road from the ferry terminal, so it is noisy if you are on that side, bonus of being on that side though is that you get a view if you are high enough up so ask for a high room. I moved to the back side of the hotel for no noise but then you just have a view of another building. Our tour guide said they had cancelled their contract here and moved to Port Bosphorous due to the complaints.
The location was great with lots available across at the Galataport ferry terminal, although a very steep hill walk to get to the main strip of Istanbul. Great chicken fajitas!
