Breakfast was excellent. Couldn’t get a better location for it ❤️

I chose this hotel because I liked the Meroddi hotel chain's proposal to restore old buildings in the Galata area. The restoration is impeccable and every detail is beautiful. It's lovely to see an initiative that values the history of a place rather than simply destroying it, as unfortunately happens in many historic neighborhoods around the world. That said, the place is beautiful, in neoclassical style as it was in the 19th century, with the advantage of the comforts of our age (hot water, air conditioning, elevator and wifi). The terrace is lovely. The view of the city is impressive: almost at the same elevation as the Galata Tower with the advantage of seeing the Galata Tower itself. The restaurant is great with very kind staff who managed to get us a table even when it seemed impossible. The room is very comfortable. The breakfast is sensational. There was a choice of Turkish dishes, which was definitely a plus for us. There's something for everyone, so if you like continental breakfast, you can eat without fear. If you like to explore and discover new things, there's always something delicious to try. Very kind and attentive staff in the breakfast area and especially in the hotel. We would like to thank all the hotel staff who made our stay in the city absolutely unforgettable. I made a special request which was met beyond my expectations. In addition, we were given valuable tips on what to see and do in the city. The hotel's location is perfect. We did almost everything on foot and loved exploring the Beyoglu area and also crossing the Galata Bridge to Fatih. I've read reports that complain about noise but we didn't really hear anything extraordinary - apart from the call to prayer that woke us up every day at five in the morning of course, but that's something you hear absolutely everywhere else in the city - that's why there are so many minarets in Istanbul. In short: go and enjoy your stay.

The location of the hotel was great and at walking distance or short tram ride to all the major attractions. The area itself has all the major conveniences like supermarkets, money exchange and pharmacy nearby. The room was clean, spacious and well stocked. Bed was comfy and the style of the room gives old Istanbul vibes. The breakfast buffet was great and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Just one negative point, if you are a light sleeper then this centrally located hotel would be a bit noisy. For me it was perfect as after walking so much whole days, slept heavily 😁

Beautifully decorated historic building right in the centre of the Galata district.

Absolutely everything! The hotel is charming and beautifully renovated whilst retaining its original 19th century charm. Our room was gorgeous and the bed very comfortable. We arrived during Eid and being on the street side on the first floor, it was very noisy for the first night in particular. But they provide ear plugs which I used. If you’re particularly noise sensitive I’d suggest noise cancelling ear buds. We loved the locale and immediate surrounds - fantastic vibe and good places to eat. Especially around the Galata Tower. The hotel is on the hill so if you’re not fit or not fond of walking you might find it a challenge. We loved it - walking down to the Galata Bridge and across to the Old City every day. The hotel restaurant is on the terrace on the 5th level with spectacular views over Galata Tower , the Bosphorus and the mosques - Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and many more. Stunning in the morning at breakfast. Spectacular at night when they are all lit up. Breakfast each day was a real treat. So many delicious options - fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juices, salads of all kinds, Turkish dishes and cheeses, omelettes cooked to order, and as much Turkish tea or coffee as you want. Heaven! We had dinner up there on our last night. Magic! The staff were absolutely delightful - warm and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. They felt like family. We hated leaving. We’ll be back - soon!

Fantastic location in bustling Beyoglu, very close to Galata Tower. The metro and ferries are also in easy reach so you're set up to visit many parts of the city. The hotel has charm, character and history and is beautifully presented. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was tasty and plentiful and all the staff were helpful and polite. We were in Istanbul to celebrate a big wedding anniversary and were surprised by a gorgeous cake and sweet message on the day - a really lovely touch. The rooftop terrace gives fantastic views, and we had a very tasty meal there - it's worth reserving as it gets pretty busy up there.

Location is wonderful. The restaurant on the 5th floor is wonderful and we did enjoy it very much.
