Location, comfy bed and friendly staff
The only minor issue is we don’t need help with our luggage, but he insisted on helping and we had to give some tip, we don’t have pocket money and don’t have tip culture. On the other hand while we were leaving the other guy did as we wished, we appreciated that.

Location is most suitable for first timers in istanbul. The facility is quaint and full of character. Itly with vibe of downtown Istanbul.

The hotel is in a good location, a short walk to good restaurants and the galata tower. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant was lovely, staff generally helpful and beds very comfortable. The pool (which was only open on the morning we left) was lovely, just a shame we only got to use it once.
Our airport taxi transfer did not arrive and there was a lot of confusion trying to sort it out which was not fun with a tired 6 year old. Turns out they booked one car for two collections and the driver took the other people. We waited 45 mins to actually get in a car to the hotel (should have just jumped in a local taxi!). After quite a battle the hotel manager waived the cost of the taxi. We ordered our own uber on the return trip!
The other issue was that the pool was closed for the majority of our stay without any advance warning. This was the main reason I booked the hotel as my daughter loves to swim, When we arrived late on Thursday we were told it was closed but would open on Friday morning at 10am, it didn’t. Then we were told Saturday at 10am, still not open. Then 2pm, then 4pm, then 10am Sunday. Very frustrating and we only got one 20 min swim as had to leave to catch our flight. No compensation of any kind offered.
Seems like we had a run of bad luck!
