The location of this hotel was perfect for us. Close to Galata Tower, a landmark that can be seen from all over Istanbul. The quality of the hotel staff was a 5+, friendly, attentive service. The hotel has a European feel. The only reason I gave a 3 to 'cleanliness of your room' was due to not cleaning under beds. This is not to say the rooms were not clean, they were, but when you drop things and they roll under the beds and you went to retrieve the items, it would be nice if it weren't so dusty. That's it, great hotel otherwise. I would highly recommend.
