How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where it sits and how far things are
The hotel stands at Karaköy Meydanı in Beyoğlu, on Tersane Caddesi. Galata Tower is about 0.4 km away in a straight line, and the New Mosque about 0.7 km. Süleymaniye Mosque is about 1.1 km, Topkapı Palace about 1.3 km, Hagia Sophia about 1.6 km and Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 1.9 km. Sirkeci railway station is about 0.9 km away.
Of the two airports, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 31.3 km away in a straight line and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 32.9 km. The hotel runs an airport shuttle, which is paid.
From a 19 m² double to the 45 m² suite
There are six room types: four doubles between 19 and 24 m², and two suites of 33 and 45 m².
The Comfort Double Room is 20 m² with a queen bed; its partial-sea-view version moves up to 23 m² and a super-king bed. The Superior Double Room with Galata Tower View and Balcony, at 24 m² with a super-king bed, is the only room facing the tower rather than the water.
The two suites suit a couple who want space. The Suite with Sea View is 33 m² with a super-king bed and a full sea view.
| Room type | Size | Beds | View |

| Suite with Sea View | 33 m² | 1 super-king bed | sea view |
A tennis court, live music, a snack bar and room service
The most unusual things here are the tennis court and the live music, neither of which is common in a hotel of this size in a city centre, alongside a snack bar and room service for eating without going out. There is a business center for work, and a lift between floors.
Travellers who want that experience without leaving the hotel should look at that suite alone, since no other room type has it.
Check-in, children and pets
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out until 11:00. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed, so travellers bringing an animal will need a different hotel.
Who it suits and who it should not
Families with children are welcome, though every room has one bed only, so a family needing separate beds for children would not find that here.
It does not suit pet owners.
