Great Spot Near Galata Tower

helpful staffamazing locationseamless storage
I enjoyed my stay. The location was amazing with the Galata Tower right nearby. The staff was very helpful. I stored my luggage at the hotel while I traveled and this was seamless. The breakfast in room, so nice!
The street was steep. After a few days, climbing the street was difficult. I think the hotel is a bit overrated.
