By Murat Royal Hotel Galata, Istanbul

Although the room I got was not the one I booked, as it was in a nearby hotel and smaller with some maintenance issues, it did offer all necessary amenities like soap, shampoo, slippers, and towels. The service was exceptionally welcoming and provided valuable tips for exploring the city, despite being hard to find. The location was superb, just a minute away from the Galata Tower and close to major public transportation. The dining experience was decent with a good range of items. The facilities were average.

Arguing that we hadn't paid for the Corner Garden Hotel next to it, the rooms at the hotel are a little small but still very cozy and extremely clean. They provide tea and coffee facilities and all necessary amenities like soap, shampoo, slippers, and towels.

Although I had some issues with arguing about the booking, the Corner Garden Hotel was a decent choice. The rooms were average with some bugs and mold, but the service was really friendly and helpful with luggage. The location was convenient for accessing public transportation and exploring the city, but the cleanliness could be improved. The dining experience was average, but the wide range of items was enjoyable.
