Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
