I had a decent stay at this hotel, with clean rooms and friendly staff making for a welcoming atmosphere. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Taksim Square and İstiklal Caddesi. However, I struggled a bit with finding my way back to the hotel and the noise from nearby nightclubs was a tough trade-off. While the breakfast was satisfactory, it might not be enough for everyone. Overall, it’s a good spot for those wanting to be in the heart of the city.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which is located in a beautiful district just a stone's throw from Taksim Square. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated, perfect for accommodating my friends and me. However, I found the staircase on the fifth floor quite challenging to navigate. The staff was exceptionally helpful and polite, which made my experience even better. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially given the location so close to everything.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location, right in the heart of the city and just a stone's throw from İstiklal street. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, which really enhances the experience. However, the rooms are quite basic and not overly spacious or luxurious, and the breakfast leaves much to be desired with limited options.
