8/10 Very good

I had a large, spacious room, stylish as befits a classical Galata building. Huge bed. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on the roof, with fine views. It’s a normal Turkish hotel breakfast. The hotel is set on the Golden Horn and near lots of wonderful areas.

2/10 Poor

Definitely overrated. The room didn’t heat up I was freezing the whole night. Breakfast had very limited variety. I chose the room for the view, but the windows were so high that you can’t see anything unless you’re standing. There was a coffee machine in the room, but no capsules; the staff said they can’t provide them, and only after I got angry did they bring some from their manager’s supply.
