fantastic stay!
enormous closetclawfoot tubdelicious breakfastrooftop view
The room had an enormous walk-in closet. it included a clawfoot tub with a separate shower and a sitting area opposite the king size bed. we ate breakfast twice in the lobby lounge. It was convenient and delicious. we also had dinner in serica, the rooftop restaurant. The food was AMAZING!!! the service and view were wonderful too.
my only very minor issue, the gym's treadmills could use a little maintenance to run more smoothly, but i still got a good workout.
Location

the hotel is located a short distance from the galata tower. a climb is required if you aren't fit. it is just north of the galata bridge, ferry port, and t1 tram line, providing easy access to transportation.
