Overnight stay
The location and the staff were excellent. However, my upgraded room was on the 4th floor, where they were making major repairs to the flooring making very loud noise all afternoon. Most of the view from my room was blocked by a ghosted skeleton building, which was too ugly to ignore. Hopefully, both of these conditions are temporary and will not affect others.

This was a great spot to stay. Easy to navigate the city with the tram so easily accessible. Front desk staff was helpful and accommodating. The street was loud but the windows close and the view was breathtaking. Rooftop access was great for evening photo shoots.

Disappointing experience avoid like plague
This room should not be a room. It is a converted shop (ex-spa commercial property) that has a bed added and made into an extra room within the hotel. The hamam was not turned on, reception cannot speak English, there is a stock room in one of then rooms with open wiring, water from taps came out brown, overall uncleaned, unkempt, the shower did not have running hot water (only hot water available from taps). This is not a suite, this is a shop sleeping experience. I felt unsafe - locks were flimsy, and so close to the main street that I thought anyone could come in. This is my second bad experience on this site. Makes me wonder whether QC is properly conducted - utterly disappointed and shambolic experience, would expect better rooms in a village. I have videos of my room if you want to check or contest.

Booked this for a long layover and it was a perfect location. Very central and easy to walk to many areas. The shower drained slowly like a previous review said, and the rooms did have some wear, but we loved the traditional look of the rooms and hotel. Would love to stay here again!

Great location and views
This is a basic four star hotel with several outstanding features. It used to be a German bank before it was converted to a hotel, and has high ceilings, with chandeliers in certain rooms. The rooms themselves are in need of refurbishment, but are otherwise comfortable. The bed is great! The breakfast in their terrace restaurant is merely adequate, but the place itself is open 24hrs for coffee or just hanging out (byob!). Their piece de resistance, however, is their location, and the view from the terrace and from some rooms! It's truly amazing in all directions. The hotel is literally steps away from the Galata bridge (for walking across to the Sultanahmet area), the ferry terminal to Kadikoy and other places, the Tunel (funicular) to Istiklal street, and the T1 tram to Kabatas (Dolmabahce Palace) and Sultanahmet. This area, Karakoy, is a great nightlife area with cool restaurants and bars. The beautiful Galataport area is a very short walk away. Last but not least, it's the exemplary level of service from all the staff! They are all wonderfully polite and helpful. They can arrange airport transportation and tours, and are very responsive to pre-visit email and WhatsApp queries. If you're looking for a modern hotel and great Turkish breakfast, this is not it. But aside from that, it's fantastic.
