Decent hotel, good location, nicely furnished room, polite staff, excellent breakfasts, terrace on the top floor, but there is no window in the room! And it's kind of weird. Everything seems to be in order, but as if something is missing.
The hotel is a 5-minute walk from a tram stop, 7 minutes from the Galata Bridge, and a stone's throw from the Galata Tower. A bunch of inexpensive restaurants on the waterfront near the Galata Bridge. Restaurants on the bridge are more expensive.
We didn't find a store nearby, so keep that in mind. But next to the exchanger.
