You should avoid those single rooms.
I visited Istanbul in freezing January, but view from this hotel's single room was a nice colorful tropical small island with white sandy beach and coco tree. Why? The view was a poster sticked on neighboring building external wall a meter away from window. There was hardly a fresh open air circulation in the room. I could feel stale air in the small single room immediately after walked in the room. Further more, there were two used tea bags left by someone maybe checked-out guests in water boiler for tea and coffee. So, I requested room change. Front personnel replied me that no view in single room was described in web page. Then rolled his eyes told me " you did not read that! " and offered me a deal 5 more euro for room change,saying usually he ask 15. I told him the room is virtually no window room. After minutes of exchanging hustle talk, he gave me a double room without charge. I booked for 3 nights but left this hotel the next morning. I guess these single rooms are made where storage space to be designed and build. Better avoid single room in this hotel. There are many hotels in Istanbul offer much much better single rooms. Though, there are many high score reviews listed here for good and convenient location, most west side hotels has better neighbors and close to points of interest, restaurants and public traffic.

room is tiny.. one card per room for 2 guests!
The thing that your policy only allows for one card per room even w two guests is just not comfortable.. our room was very tight.. wr can barely walk in it beds are good..our view was a building under construction that starts early in the morning.. very noisy.. VERY! The staff wasnt helpful in that matter like changing our room. The breakfast was good.. not great but good. Staff was mostly friendly. Was very hard telling the taxi to get to our hotel.

Totally fine.
Great spot for a first stay in Istanbul. At the foot of the hill up to Galata. A little disorienting to find for a first time visitor, but not too hard. Very close to Galata bridge, the tram, Karaoke dock, etc. Good deal on the off season, I only left because I found a better deal nearby.

Hotel not up to standard as advertised & the cooking area left a lot to be desired as a gas bottle was in use in the cramped area not what you would call a safe enviroment

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Initially underwhelmed, but grew to like it a lot
I have to admit that when I first arrived at the hotel, I was disheartened by a) the difficulty of finding the hotel on an unmarked side street and b) the underwhelming exterior and receptionist check-in once you enter the hotel. However, over the course of our 3.5 days here, I stand resoundingly behind my 4-star rating for the hotel. I can’t vouch for room service or the hotel restaurant, but fret not, just venture out for a 10-minute walk and eat at any of the restaurants along the Galata Bridge or on either ends of the bridge (Hamdi Restaurant and Karakoy Ozsut (the kaymak was delicious) are worth a visit.) Also, Galata La Bella is a stone’s throw from the cable car which took us into the heart of Sultanahmet and surrounding areas. The hotel staff also was kind enough to book a boat/bus tour for us, which was worth every Turkish Lira. The nice thing about this hotel is that it’s a convenient middle ground between the Taksim Square/retail shopping area and the mosques and bazaars on the other side of the Bosphorus River. If you are expecting the Four Seasons, then move along; this is not the hotel for you. But, if you want a great location, proximity to good restaurants, solid continental breakfast selection (the borek and pastries – yum!) helpful staff (Unal, the Galveston, TX enthusiast stands out), an amazing rooftop view, and clean rooms and showers, then look no further.

location, location, location and customer service!
Excellent location from convenience of transportation point of view. 2 blocks from tunnel tram that takes you to Istaklal Street and Tram that you can use to go to the old part of Istanbul in 7 - 10 mins both for 2.5 Turkish Lira per person. 5 min walk to the ocean and Galata Bridge if you want to stroll across to Spice Bazaar and Grand Bazaar. A lot of restaurants by the bridge and under the bridge. Breakfast was adequate to start the day. Manager Farhan really hooked us up by giving us a room on the top floor with ocean and city view. Room and bathroom size was very adequate given another hotel I stayed at. The only downside was initially finding the hotel, it's 2 blocks from the tram. During the day it's a very commercial neighborhood with the hardware tools market on the main road. Overall really happy because of the location, convenience of transportation and excellent room with an amazing view.
