The room had poor sound isolation. Loud music from nearby bars kept me awake until late. I also heard chairs being dragged on the rooftop at 2:45 am. The staff didn't address my complaints.

amazing location accomodating staff clean hotel small room high price unsatisfactory expectations
The hotel is in front of the Bosphorus, it is quite amazing. The hotel is near the Galata area, I could walk to most places. The staff are very accomodating, I found them helpful.
The room was not very airy, it don't meet my expectations. I paid a higher price, so I thought it can be better. The superior room was too small.
