Excellent stay NEAR Galata

prime location nice selection helpful staff
The hotel location is prime. It is very near the Galata tower. Breakfast offered a nice selection, and the 5th-floor view added a lot. I could see a wide landscape. The staff was friendly and also very helpful with directions. I appreciated having a balcony in my room.
The street right outside the hotel had quite a bit of trash. It was not the most appealing thing.
