“In my opinion, the location is a real advantage, placing guests within an easy distance of Galata Tower and Istiklal Street. The building itself has character, and I was interested to see that the rooms offer high ceilings and dedicated attention to modern comfort. From what I gathered, the rooftop terrace seemed the most compelling feature, promising wide views over the Bosphorus.”
