The hotel offers incredible views of the Galata Tower from rooms with tiny bathrooms on the top, perfect for those who appreciate a balcony with a view. The service, especially the attentive staff and additional services like room service and airport shuttle, is what truly sets this hotel apart. The location in the very hip neighborhood of Galata adds to its appeal, although it may not be ideal for those seeking a more central spot.
