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.
