Well-equipped and beautifully decorated unit with a nice decor. Magnificent location to Galata Koprusu Bridge.

The room was tidy, delightful with wc/bath. The staff were gentle, affable, did all they can for a real good stay. You could leave a car nearby. The location was good, at a medium distance from a transplanted ancient Egyptian obelisk. And it was 5 minutes on foot from the downtown.

We were given delightful, cosy room with good view.
