Dissapointed Visitor
In booking this visit, I expected a swanky hotel with amenities to match; what I got was an unfriendly staff that over-charged for everything, from orange juice to a three minute use of the sauna. The room was comfortable but the stay was unpleasant, due to all the hidden charges I had to pay afterwords. I advise others to go somewhere else, in a less touristy area, where you actually get a feel for Istanbul and feel content.
The Galata area provided good bars and restaurants where the locals outnumbered the tourists; walking up the hill, away from Galata Tower, the main shopping street leads to numerous ally-ways filled with great places to meet people and go out. The best part is, you can simply socialize in the square, if the bars get too crowded.

Great stay
A pleasant standard room and an excellent buffet breakfast with a wide choice (yes, fresh orange juice costs extra). Free wireless internet and free use of the lobby computer and printer (including paper). A standard laptop fits in the room safe. The staff were always helpful, and would make phone reservations for us. Very convenient for the tram, train station, and old town attractions.

Excellent Choice, Mr. Bond!
Price hotel has an excellent location. It,s a short and pleasant (5 minutes) walk to most of the highlights: Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the cistern or the Archeological Museum. Galata Bridge with all it,s nice restaurants and bars is about 10 minutes walking (passing a McDonalds restaurant). However the surroundings of the hotel were just a little disappointing even though lots of shops and restaurants are available. Rooms are what they look like in the photos: comfortable, nicely decorated and clean. I suggest to take not the cheapest ones. Staff is kind, willing to help, even though few people speak English. Breakfast is good quality but we had to pay separately for eggs, orange juice or espresso coffee. The food we took in the bar (club sandwich) has to take the lowest rate. In all, Price hotel is an excellent choice.
