It was the worst hotel I've ever been to; there were even spiders, the restaurant chairs were disgusting, the breakfast was inedible ,the door locks didn't lock, I felt unsafe, and Expedia was irresponsible. I asked for a refund because I had to change hotels, and they still haven't resolved the issue.

Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Hotel was walking distance from metro, bust station, Taksim Square and Istiqlal street. What I did not like was the elevator, it was too small and sometimes we had to wait a long time to get on it. But overall it was an enjoyable stay, and I would consider it for my next trip to Istanbul.

Not my first time choosing this hotel and loved my second experience. My room was big and I was surprised that it got a big terrace with a good view. The location is aslo one of my favorite things at the hotel. The downside was the breakfast, very basic and not much of a variety. This time I booked also a room for my cousin and her husband, and unfortunately there room was really small, was at the first floor so it was noisy and they were disturbed by other guests at the same floor and the light from the sign of the facing building.

Disliked: Amenities
It was close to shopping and restaurants, but it was very noisy. Specially at night time you feel like you’re sleeping in the street they have control on your air condition in the room that they keep shutting down so you come back to her room or while you’re sleeping suddenly they don’t get hot because they shut the air condition from downstairs the breakfast in the morning, very limited cold, I was running out so better breakfast buffet and the worst thing happen. The elevator got stuck with my mom inside and when they open the door on her, all they say is you could use downstairs not even check on her or saying how are you doing or saying even I’m sorry and my mom is 74 years old and another thing you have to go about 20 stairs to get into the hotel from the Main St. so it’s not a handicap, friendly or senior citizen friendly

It’s a walk distance to the takseem but you have to go up stairs to get to the reception ,, the elevator got stuck with my mom once and didn’t even say I’m sorry for it, the breakfast buffet was small and not a lot of varieties cold and they run a lot of time out of some items not what’s look like in the pictures and we find out that they shut the air condition couple hours every day for the rooms so they have a control from downstairs on the Air condition in your room and it’s a lot of noise all night long from the outside when you’re trying to sleep you feel like you’re in the middle of the street cars with loud noises and there is no noise barrier we have two rooms one in the third and one in the sixth floor and we still heard noises from outside
