The breakfast array was only moderate.

wonderful stay at a refurbished bank
spacious closet excellent location
i was very comfortable with my room. it featured an enormous walk-in closet with a separate shower. the location was a short distance from the galata tower and north of the galata bridge. the ferry port and the t1 tram line were easily accessible.
the hotel limited the use of the single $100 credit to the first portion of our visit though. they were simultaneously treating the full three nights as one stay to deny the second credit. it was inconsistent and inflexible.
Rooms

my room had 16' ceilings with meticulous artwork displayed from floor to ceiling. it also included a minibar stocked with local beverages and snacks, with a taste of local flavors.
Service

the hotel's rooftop bar provided excellent views with exquisite service, with a wide selection of turkish wines, alongside tasty hors d'oeuvres. the staff promptly replenished nespresso capsules once they were used, showing care for guest comfort.
