Very nice hotel, perfectly located within 2mins walk to Istikal Street, with loads of shops, restaurants and cafés and 5mins walk to Taksim Square. There are many pub bars with live music around the hotel and where you can even sit in the alleys as the small street is a pedestrian street only (note: you should avoid this area if you are sensitive to loud noise). The hotel is beautifully furbished especially the staircase and each floor's common area marble. The hotel staff are all very friendly, polite, respectful and helpful. Special mention to the guy at the restaurant, Sezgin, the housekeeping ladies on 1st and 5th floor and the lady manager at the reception. We stayed for 9 nights and booked 2 rooms. Upon check in, we found our rooms too small and requested to change rooms. The nice and very respectful lady manager (sorry for not remembering her good name) kindly changed 1 of the rooms the next morning and the 2nd room a few days later at no additional costs. This has been very well appreciated and we heartedly thank you for this. The rooms are nicely furnished and cleaned thoroughly every day. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The AC/heater works fine and gives the required comfort. The bathroom was also well equipped with necessary amenities, new and clean. We even had a small balcony in one of the rooms which gave us beautiful views of the roofs of Istiklal/Taksim area and beautiful sunsets. The restaurant in the basement is very beautiful and authentic. Breakfast was good with varieties, coffee, tea and juices. The only downside is that taxis/vans cannot drop or pick you up at the hotel as the street is pedestrian only. You will have to pull your luggage down the main street (5-10 mins walk) unless the vehicle stops in the adjacent street to the hotel and load your luggage quickly. We highly recommend this hotel for all the positive points and would definitely come back.
