Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Advertised roof terrace was closed for construction. In spite of choosing to stay on first floor to limit hearing rooftop construction this was still quite loud during the day. Requested non-smoking room but there was a smell of stale cigarettes that made me feel sick. Services shaft was the view out of the rear 'window' to the room. which is not fire safe! Grille had falled off bathroom ventilation riser...which is hardly suprising given it was stuck on with double sided sticky tape! Wire for lighting sticking out of wall with no light on. Missing / non-functioning bulbs in several of the lights in the room. Felt so uncomfortable we ended up going elsewhere and were glad we did, in spite of the expense, as I ended up dreading returning to the hotel.

The hotel is just 2 minutes from Taksim Road, with plenty of nice restaurants and cafés nearby. It has a beautiful antique style, and the reception employees were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. While it can be a bit noisy due to the street, overall I had a great experience!

Konumu metroya çok yakın olmasından dolayı mükemmeldi. Manzarası da çok güzeldi. Biraz işlek bir yer olduğundan dışarıdaki ses odaya geliyordu. Rahat ve sıcak bir ortamı vardı. İş için gece uyuyacak yer arıyordum ve odada çok vakit geçirmedim yeterliydi fakat odada buzdolabı yoktu.

More or less, but in a nice location.

Just plain old normal. The hotel is between good quality and dilapidated. The location is great, the staff is nice, the hotel has seen better days. It is a bit expensive but I get the feeling that, in Istanbul at the moment, if you do not pay a decent amount, you will get very low quality.
