The hotel does not reach two stars. They first gave us a room on the sixth floor that looked more like a 2x2 matchbox. A “double” bed that was semi-double and almost touched the window on one side and the closet on the other, it didn't leave space for anything but one nightstand.
The room faced the street and you could hear everything, impossible to sleep.
The bathroom with the sealing silicone and the tile joints completely black.
Very dirty, old, and lacking maintenance.
We complained at the front desk and they gave us another room on the third floor, it was better, it was larger and had a coffee maker (check it well before using it, because ours was dirty) and two bottles of water that the other one didn't (every day they left us two bottles, this was very good).
The bathroom was a little more spacious, but with the same maintenance problems.
The lights in the room are very soft, I suppose so that all the flaws and dirt are not noticeable.
In this one we were able to sleep at least...
The Turkish bath and sauna... another disaster... we went down one day and there was no staff attending. We asked for towels at the front desk and they didn't know where they were; in the end, they gave us one that we don't know where they got it from, but it didn't smell good at all.
The sauna fulfills its function, but the Turkish bath was not working and had all the lights off.
The breakfast is fine, although it does not vary from one day to the next.
The Wi-Fi is also very good.
The location is excellent, the subway is a few meters away, and there are many restaurants and bars in the area. It is close to the Galata Tower and the main shopping street.
