The hotel location is amazing if you want to stay next of the sea and see the sunrise . The staff Karam and Umit were very welcoming and helpful. Both are extremely friendly.

The hotel is located nearby the port however there is no taxi access to the hotel so you will need to drag your luggage by your self or ask hotel staff to help you. There is no elevator in the hotel so if you have knees / bones issues it’s not recommended . Plus the size of the room , it’s very tiny and small . Barely accommodate your move inside the room.

Location is Excellent especially who wants to travel via Metro or Ferry boat (~3 mins walk). All kinds of food places are available just less the 1 mins walk. Rooms are neat, clean and silent during night hours. Staff can speak, understand English and helpful. WiFi was working fine.

Sea view room was not available for me, so window view was not good. No Lift available so its difficult to climb steps after 2nd floor. Rooms are bit small and no space to walk around beds I guess they can remove the unwanted tables to make some more space.

Location is the best thing about this hotel and the close proximity to the transport links. it is right next to tram and boat links. Mustafa at reception was very helpful.

There is no lift in the hotel. some staff members on duty at reception do not speak English. One of the staff members (not Mustafa - other guy at reception) walked into our room and then was surprised that we were in the room. he apologised saying he thought this was the room checking out. I don’t buy that because there are not more than 5 or 6 rooms in total he should have known exactly who was checking out. plus he saw us going out at reception but for some reason we came back to the room for something and he didn’t see us coming back in. why did he need to examine our room other than house keeping which was done already?

A cozy hotel with the enchanting view of Bosporus Strait and very helpful, nice staff who can speak fluent English and Russian. The room is clean as well as the corridor. It takes no more than 2 minutes to get to the bund. An ideal getaway from gloomy Moscow lol) Already began to miss Istanbul:') and its cats.

So centrally located in Karakoy on the pier. Lots of restaurants and across from the ferry pier.Easy walk to the Golden Horn and all tourist attractions. We had a sea facing room. Beautiful view of the Golden Horn. Large room and good size bathroom, small entrance lobby. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to store our luggage there after check out. Even organised us a Istanbul Cart for public transport. Restaurants are noisy, but that didn’t bother us. Noises of a lively city. Very near to public transport.

Shower head needs replacing, but it was not a problem. The room has such a magnificent view, please keep the windows clean. On our arrival, there were rubbish in the passage on the 1st floor that stayed there for quite some time. Looks like they were busy with maintenance. Guests should however not have to step over boxes and old door parts Taxis can’t drop you off in front of the door, so be prepared to drag your luggage for some distance. Also not a major problem.

The location and the view are very nice

The AC is very noisy even when it’s off. You can’t sleep without having ear plugs. the receptionist was nice and suggested to give me ear plug when I complained about the noise.

The place is located in a super location, it is very close to the bridge Galata which is where are all of the Mosques, and the Spice and Grand Bazar and also very close to the Tram station and only about 300mts from very nice Rooftops and places like Karakoy.. The staff was beyond exceptional, Ramon was TOP TIER, he helped us with everything we needed and solved all of our questions since we were first timers in Istanbul!! There was another guy also super helpful in the mornings with curly hair. also, he was exceptional. We booked a room with no view and that was OK. but I definitely recommend the rooms with a view to the Bosphorus. We also booked with them the shuttle from the airport. it was a Limo and we were treated like celebrities lol.

The room is clean and comfortable. The view is fantastic. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby including traditional turkish cafes and restaurants that offer alcoholic drinks. There in no breakfast option in the hotel, but there are good places to have breakfast just next door. I recommend cafe Mado with good turkish food.

There is no elevator, so you need to climb the stairs. A little bit noisy (from outside) in the early morning. The room is a little bit smaller than it looks at the photo. The hotel is located in a pedestrian area, and it has a small signboard, so it is not easy to find it.

The friendly and helpful staff were wonderful. The location is excellent. I stayed on level 1 which was facing a small road and was reasonably quiet compared to other areas. The room was basic but fine for the price. I had three great nights of sleep which I needed after a lot of travelling. The staff helped with organising a visit to a Turkish Spa which was a great experience. The photo's make the property look a bit more modern than it is, but it was ok for me because it had everything I needed and was a street back from the beautiful port area with amazing views of the water.

Some upkeep and repairs could be made to the property however that seems to be an issue with buildings in Istanbul in general.

Super cheap room in a super location! This hotel is direct on the water - we had rooms facing the back for only €35 per night. All the buildings next to this hotel are 5 story restuarants so you can eat and drink on the 5th floor with a view over the water - you don't need a hotel room with a view, just go to the restuarant next door. Our rooms were quite small, fine for 1 person and I was only there to sleep. There is a bridge crossing to the Asian side only 200 meters away. Really a super little hotel - location is awesome and the price was sensational. Really nice friendly staff. The entrance is maybe a little hard to find - but you only need to find it once.

for €35 - nothing.
