Rough Guide "Owned by three charismatic brothers, this place is bright, spacious and friendly and resists the pressure to go all modern or faux-Ottoman."
Lonely Planet "A sprawling place that has a long-standing reputation for cheap, clean and comfortable accommodation, the Side has overpriced hotel rooms with TV, air-con and en suite."
DK Eyewitness "This family run establishment combines a pension for budget-conscious guests and also a ritzier hotel. Pension prices are cheaper and facilities are fewer, with no air conditioning in rooms."
Frommer's "This place has been offering good-value, spotlessly clean, well-managed accommodation in the heart of the old city since 1989." Full review

Frommer's "The restoration of this 19th-century neighborhood gem was at the forefront of the revival of Galata." Full review
Time Out "Just 270 yards from the historic Galata Tower, this hotel features deluxe accommodation and its rooftop restaurant offers absolutely stunning views of old Istanbul and the Golden Horn." Full review
Star Service "The decor is crisp and modern, and the views are definitely camera-worthy. Over this room broods the Tower, so close you could almost reach out and touch it. " Full review
Fodor's "An attractively renovated, century-old building so close to the 14th-century Galata Tower that you can almost reach out and touch it, the Anemon Galata provides plenty of old-world charm." Full review
Lonely Planet "Located on the attractive square surrounding Galata Tower, this wooden building dates from 1842 but has been completely rebuilt inside." Full review
