Great hotel, just in front of Taksim park. Very friendly staff. If you want to stay in a hotel with a great fantastic location, and are looking for value for money, this is the hotel you shall select. I have stay in many hotels in this are over the last 10 year, but at this hotel you get it all, at same place, nice room (a bit dark) but you are not travel to Istanbul for sitting in a hotel room. Staff is helpful, give your self a cold drink on the roof terasse with a great view over Taksim Square. I stay normal in many different hotels over a year in many different countries, and I will give this hotel 5 star, everything was perfect for us, and I will 200% sure use the hotel again next time I will visit Istanbul.
