Nordstern Hotel Galata

The location is very good (but for the price there are better hotels in the area). The rooms are perfectly decent (but kinda tacky). The bed was fine. The shower was really nice. If you don't care about details or looks and just want an extremely well-located and mostly comfortable room just to sleep in, this place is perfect.

The entrance/lobby area is nothing impressive at all, nor are the hallways leading to the rooms. It looks like very early 2000s/late 1990s trying to be hip. The room interiors look like a budget version of the W Hotel lobbies as if they were created by someone trying to be trendy, quirky and 'luxe' but without the taste or money to make it even look like the W.
