Staff were lovely, free access to sauna/pool/hammam (but paying customers have priority in hammam). The spa area was a little small, and had a room at the front of the building so noticed when trams were running past. Rooms/beds were comfortable.

MoroccoTo begin with, the list is long. Location is fantastic and in my opinion the strongest asset of this hotel. Main touristic attractions and sights are reachable by a 5-10min walk. Room wasn't spacious but it was cozy. Conditioner was great. Hotel staff was carrying, they even gave us a city card to get around with public transport. Another great thing was pool with sauna. It took us couple minutes to get from room to the pool and back which turned out to be very comfortable. Unfortunately spa was for additional price but nontheless pool was great. The breakfast was good, had a nice selection of food though if you stay for a longer period at the hotel, breakfast can start feeling repetitive. Since we had full board included the restaurant for lunch and dinner had amazing view. Galata tower was always visible. Eating times were pretty flexible too. Overall our stay was good.
