"Outstanding boutique hotel! Perfect location on a quiet but stylish side street steps from Galata tower. The owners have done a wonderful update of the rooms which are large, airy and extremely comfortable. Bedding is excellent. The rooftop restaurant is superb and commands a sweeping view of the Bosporus and Old City. Best of all, the staff is charming and helpful. Definitely our first choice in Istanbul!"
