Sea of Marmara

The hotel was right near the busy shopping street, which made it perfect for us. It’s walking distance from the Galata Tower and has lots of transportation options. Food options were plentiful and if you are in Istanbul for the night life it’s one of the places to be. I stayed Wednesday through to Friday, the first night was quiet no noise from the street. But Thursday heading to the weekend was very noisy sound like a birthday party was happening under our bedroom window until 3am, so bear that in mind if you wanted a quiet stay. Also I booked the breakfast included options and the view of the city was amazing from there. All in all I would book again but mid week though.

Great breakfast.staff, and location, but NOISY! We heard everything! The people talking/yelling in rooms around us, other toilets flushing, doors slamming, etc. I'm not sure if it was becasue we were on the first floor, but it was VERY NOISY. Also, we couldn't get the AC to work (well) and the room often got warm and stuffy- and they did show us how to work the thermostat, but it didn't really help.

Nice hotel. It was in an easy walking area. Clean and well maintained.
