I had a large, spacious room, stylish as befits a classical Galata building. Huge bed. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on the roof, with fine views. It’s a normal Turkish hotel breakfast. The hotel is set on the Golden Horn and near lots of wonderful areas.

I had a pleasent stay here, all the front desk staff were lovely and very accommodating. The only downside is the street noise at night, it’s very centrally located steps away from Galata tower so can’t really complain! I would suggest booking a room facing the rear side or the building.
