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.

Staff working at the recepte are very nice but it is absolutely not hygienic in the room, we had to ask the staff to change the bed clothes and it was never done. They came into the rum to make the bed and leave water bottles, so we had to wash cups with only water for a whole week

No problems here - you can shop on Iskatel st. or use the metro or take the underground train { in the metro stat. } to Kabatas and then get on the tram and view the Bosphorus strait- easily. Or if you are a hiker - head out and beat feet to the water views of the Bosphorus - 30 - 35 min - max. from Iskatel st. Check out the kafe's.

The value for the money here was right on point. Very helpful owner and staff and perfectly adequate accommodations with all the basics you need. It is very loud at night but it also means you’re in a happening neighborhood! We had a lot of fun. Bring ear plugs, download white noise and get really good value for your money by staying here!

It is a small hotel , but comfortable and economic. easy access to everywhere near Taxim . Isteklal street is 1 minute walk , Taxim square is 5 minutes walk . Easy access to all transportation. The room was a bit small Or maybe my room was small . I stayed on 3rd floor . But the good thing is that the rooms are sound proof . And air-conditioned . I will definitely stay there again . Oh by way the for those who travel with car , this property don’t have car park nearby , but there are few paid car parkings about 5 minutes by walking distance.

Big mistake reserving in this hotel, I had a reservation for two nights but I move the next day, besides is not refundable!, first of all if you are only single and if you plan to party all night long and also this is the place for you, otherwise run away. The stairs and the rooms smell so much like cigarettes, the noise is so bad you are not gonna be able to sleep even with earplugs because the bars are just downstairs. the beds are so hard! I ended up with back and pain shoulder, and the pillows need to be replaced. The elevator was not working and my key was not working either every time I needed to use my room the staff had to open it for me. among other problems.

Very disappointing. Checking in was difficult and hotel staff was rigid in resolving an unexpected issue. We had reserved a room for 2 people with 2 beds. Description of room on Expedia site was not consistent with what the hotel staff’s understanding. And we were given a room with one bed only instead, despite our specific reservation and our willingness to pay extra if necessary. Additionally a large window in the room did not have curtains to block sun light and to allow for privacy. Thanks to a good person on staff (Mr Salih), a window cover was provided. The following day, we were moved to a different room still with one bed only instead of two as expected. The room was very noisy. Poorly maintained and poorly inspected. Among others things, the windows covers were missing hooks and not holding properly. The hotel’s standing could improve under a competent management with customer focused staff.

Very disappointed. Poor attention to customer needs. One exception: Mr. Salih (a worker there) was helpful. Expedia site appeared to show incorrect room information. That created a problem upon our checking in. Hotel staff / checking staff was rigid. Noisy site. Hotel has good potential if management is serious and focused to improve, to satisfy the clients.

Stay away from this hotel, it’s very dirty, the bathroom is disgusting, so as the bed, I had to sleep on my own jacket because the sheets and pillows were still unwashed and smelled really bad. seems to have been used forever. Pillows need to be replaced with new ones asap. Now talking about staff, the staff at the reception refused to check me in hour before. I asked for toilet paper and ironing and never got that.
