A huge effort must be made regarding cleaniness. I was mislead by pictures and comments, but it wasn't as expected. The good point about the hotel is the location that is in the middle of Istiklal street.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It is a small hotel , but comfortable and economic. easy access to everywhere near Taxim . Isteklal street is 1 minute walk , Taxim square is 5 minutes walk . Easy access to all transportation. The room was a bit small Or maybe my room was small . I stayed on 3rd floor . But the good thing is that the rooms are sound proof . And air-conditioned . I will definitely stay there again . Oh by way the for those who travel with car , this property don’t have car park nearby , but there are few paid car parkings about 5 minutes by walking distance.

Marcel

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very disappointing. Checking in was difficult and hotel staff was rigid in resolving an unexpected issue. We had reserved a room for 2 people with 2 beds. Description of room on Expedia site was not consistent with what the hotel staff’s understanding. And we were given a room with one bed only instead, despite our specific reservation and our willingness to pay extra if necessary. Additionally a large window in the room did not have curtains to block sun light and to allow for privacy. Thanks to a good person on staff (Mr Salih), a window cover was provided. The following day, we were moved to a different room still with one bed only instead of two as expected. The room was very noisy. Poorly maintained and poorly inspected. Among others things, the windows covers were missing hooks and not holding properly. The hotel’s standing could improve under a competent management with customer focused staff.

The room was large and the bed was comfortable. As noted in previous reviews the are is loud in the evenings, but we were so exhausted from gallivanting that we slept despite the noise. The staff were kind and helpful. The area is quite lovely. There are tons of restaurants and cafes and shopping nearby. For the price we would definitely stay there again.

Very small hotel located in Taksim. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Rooms can be noisy as hotel surrounded by restaurants in the pub. At night time you can hear the music and people until eight hours. It was not very clean and needed remodeling.
