About 0.4 km from Galata Tower; about 32 km from both airports

The hotel is about 0.4 km from Galata Tower, in a straight line. The New Mosque is about 1.1 km away, Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.3 km, and Sirkeci railway station about 1.4 km. Topkapı Palace sits about 2 km from the hotel, Hagia Sophia about 2.2 km and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 2.5 km.

Both of Istanbul's major airports are at a similar distance: Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 31.9 km and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 32.2 km, in a straight line. The hotel offers a paid airport shuttle.

A 15 m² double and a 20 m² triple, both with city views

The hotel has two room types. The Double Room with Private Bathroom is 15 m², furnished with one double bed, and sleeps up to 2. The Triple Room with Private Bathroom is 20 m², with one twin bed and one double bed, sleeping up to 3. Both rooms have a city view.

With children not permitted, the triple room serves three adults travelling together — friends, colleagues or a group splitting costs. The double room, at 15 m², is compact for two adults over a longer stay but workable for a couple in the city for a night or two.

Room service allows meals without leaving the room.

Check-in from 14:00, check-out by 12:00; no children, no pets

Check-in begins at 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00.

Children are not permitted at the hotel, and pets are not allowed. A traveller booking a family room should note that it cannot be used by a household with children.

Who it suits and who it does not

The hotel suits adult couples and small groups of two or three who want a base within 0.4 km of Galata Tower and within about 1 to 2.5 km of the major mosques and palaces. Room service and a lift make it workable for those who prefer to eat in the room or who have difficulty with stairs. The paid airport shuttle removes the need to arrange a separate transfer for the 32 km to either airport, which is useful on a tight flight schedule.

It is not a resort or a leisure property: the facilities do not include a pool, a spa or a beach. Travellers looking for a hotel with extensive amenities, a garden, or a pool will find this property too limited for that purpose.
