Csk The Halich Port İstanbul: sea-view rooms near Galata

Further out but still within reach, Sirkeci railway station is about 1.2 km away, Topkapı Palace about 1.7 km, Hagia Sophia about 2 km and Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 2.2 km, all in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is about 31.7 km from the hotel; a paid airport shuttle runs between the two, and the hotel also offers airport pick-up and drop-off.

The Standard Room, Sea View, Sea Facing is slightly larger at 22 m², with one queen bed, sleeps up to 3, and also has a sea view. The Standard Double or Twin Room, at 24 m² with either a queen bed or two twin beds and a city view, suits a couple who want a choice of bed arrangement.

The three 40 m² rooms differ in bedding and outlook.

The hotel has a restaurant, and room service can be ordered through a mobile app.

Parking is paid, both on site and on the street. This is a hotel built for city stays rather than resort leisure: there is no pool or spa among its facilities, and what it offers instead is practical city infrastructure, from a 24-hour front desk to laundry and dry cleaning.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel, and kid meals are among its services. Parking is paid.

The hotel is non-smoking throughout, with a designated smoking area for those who need one. Express check-in and check-out, private check-in and check-out, and cashless payment are all part of how it runs.

This hotel suits travellers who want to be within a short straight-line distance of Galata Tower, the New Mosque and Süleymaniye Mosque, with the Topkapı Palace and Hagia Sophia area about 1.7 to 2 km away. Families fit well: children are allowed, family rooms exist, and the 40 m² suites with sofa beds give extra sleeping space. Guests with reduced mobility are catered for through the disabled facilities, and business travellers have meeting and banquet rooms.

It does not suit anyone expecting resort facilities: the hotel's facilities do not include a pool or a spa. Those who want to drive should note that parking is paid, and the airport is about 31.7 km away in a straight line, though the paid shuttle covers that journey.
