Portus House was recommended to me by a friend who had stayed there previously. It is well positioned; close to Karakoy tram stop and the Galata bridge (which takes you over to the Sultanahmet/ Old Town), but also within walking distance of the area around the Galata Tower/ Istiklal Caddesi (on the Asian side), where there are lots of good...

After about seven months since my first stay, I came back. The hotel has been repainted, more comfort was added (including slippers:)). What was the same was the friendliness of the staff, who didn't cease to ask me if I want coffee, tea or water! Of course, I'll come again!
