comfortable stay with a few nice touches

comfortable bed attentive staff central location
I stayed in a beautiful king room. It had a comfortable bed. the breakfast service had attentive staff and provided a good spread. i also appreciated the central location. It gave me convenient access to galata and nearby areas.
the hotel rooms have some size inconsistencies. my room felt a bit smaller than i expected for the price. it was not a major issue, but something i noticed.
