The hotel is conveniently located near shopping areas and shops, not far from Taksim Square and Galata Castle. The rooms are spacious enough to meet daily needs but may overlook a noisy street. Some cleanliness issues were noticed like dust on tables and shelves. The service is good overall, although some staff may need more training in customer interactions. The location is fantastic, close to the main shopping street and within walking distance of the tram and town. The dining experience was poor with cleanliness concerns noted, and no simple changes were accommodated.

The hotel had a decent room with both a double bed and a single bed, offering a nice view over the city. The carpet was not properly vacuumed on arrival, but the bed was comfy and the breakfast had a good variety of warm and cold slices. The space in the room was better than expected, although there was some dirt in the corner of the carpet.

The hotel is located at the end of Istiklal street close to the Galata tower, offering a perfect stay with its proximity to Taksim and outstanding surprises like a birthday cake and flower.

The hotel is in a convenient location near Istiklal Street and metro stations, just 20 minutes from Taksim Square and 5 minutes from Galata Tower. The rooms are quite small, even for two people, and located next to where they put all their dirty laundry and trash, which isn't pleasant. Service was overall helpful, but there was an incident of rudeness and indifference towards extra charges. Despite being loud until late at night, the hotel offers good dining options and facilities.

The hotel is situated in the bustling Taksim district, offering a welcoming atmosphere and easy access to Istiklal Caddesi. While the room size may not be ideal for those who enjoy shopping or if you're sharing the room, the location compensates for it. The dining experience exceeded expectations, especially on Istiklal Street, but can get quite crowded. The service provided by Kadir, Negin, Oğuz, and the rest of the staff was commendable, although some operational hiccups were noted. Overall, a great choice for exploring Istanbul with some minor room size considerations.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not properly cleaned, with dirt in the corner of the carpet upon check-in.
