I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hotel for my husband and my anniversary, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest and friendliest staff we've ever encountered. The cleanliness of the hotel was truly impeccable. It's clear that the staff takes great pride in ensuring an immaculate atmosphere for their guests. One of the highlights of our stay was the fantastic breakfast that was served each morning. The hotel's location was also a big plus for us. It was conveniently located, making it easy to explore the city's attractions and dining options. We felt like we were in the heart of everything. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the owner, Zeynep. She is an absolute gem, so sweet and welcoming. Not to mention, her adorable dog, Sophia, who added an extra layer of warmth to our stay. It's clear that Zeynep goes above and beyond to ensure her guests feel like family. To top off our anniversary celebration, the hotel surprised us with a beautiful cake. It was a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture that made our special day even more memorable.

The hotel is freshly renovated. The rooms are very nice, cozy and clean. You can barely hear your neighbors in other rooms and also we didn’t hear any noise from the street. We had a beautiful view over the city and sea. The breakfast area is amazing at the top floor with beautiful view over the city. The location is very good! Close to all city attractions. The stuff was very friendly and always ready to help.

Galata Tower

Medieval Galata Tower pierces the clouds above Istanbul’s skyline, a soaring sentinel to the north of the Golden Horn. A replacement for a previous tower that was destroyed in the crusades, this one was built by the Genoese in 1348. or hundreds of years, it was the tallest building in Istanbul – and its uppermost balcony still offers unrivalled city views today.

    While the tower is great vantage point, overlooking the entire Golden Horn, the admission tickets are quite expensive and the place is crammed with crowds. If you decide to visit anyway, aim for the 30min before sunset

    Another joke which is not even Turkish, as most of the monuments. Anyway. 35 euros just to inside the tower. If you want to use the lift you’ll pay 60 euros to enter. Told you these guys are born thieves! Amazing.

    The place has amazing vibes with the cafes surrounding the tower and the cobbled streets and all but the crowd is just crazy. Everyone wants a pic there for whatever reason and they are a painful hindrance to enjoying the place

    It's good that they have installed a set of lifts to get to the top of the tower. So you are not walking up too many steps. Best to get there early or towards sunset to see spectacular views with the mosques and the sea across Istanbul.

    Definitely a must. Go in the early evening as the night lights are awesome. Museum Pass is a must - this is one of the places you can visit with it. I bought a 5 day pass for 700 TL at Topkapi Palace.

    We visited the Galata Tower at lunch time and enjoyed a great meal with a table at the window. Our soup and salad were good and the view and atmosphere were great. Much better than being crowded onto the narrow deck above.

  • Absolutely yes! Istanbul is open restaurant.

    Absolutely yes! Istanbul is open restaurant. In every corner you can find perfect meal. Good to try fish restaurant in Bosphorous, or in Çiçek Pasajı. And also good to try restaurants in Maiden or Galata Tower with perfect city view. What it can be better than that!
