We thoroughly enjoyed the deluxe triple room which was brand-new on the lower floors. The location was easy - so close to the metro station, Taksim and Istiklal street and city centre. Again, the hotel was within easy walking distance of The Cavern Club.

We ate at a modest restaurant for turkish cuisine. It was functional, and employees were hospitable. The location of the hotel was unbeatable - a 10-15 minute walking distance from an Emigration gallery. Moreover, the area was relatively quiet. Liked our very very good stay in a fair value of money.

We booked the deluxe triple room that was compact. The staff was excellent co-operating, decent all the time. It had absolutely perfect location just next door to taksim square, istiklal street and shoping center, overcrowded alley and taksim metro station. We saw a cobblestone street, that's within a close distance from the venue.

The breakfast is rich, with dishes to choose and large quantity, as example. Our hotel is set in a central location near to Taksim square and the metro as well as Ataturk airport.

The location is comfortable, a 10-15 minute walking distance from a cobblestone street. The area is relatively quiet near many restaurants, cafes, hookah bars, and most importantly Istiklal street, Taksim Square, and Istiklal Street, and close to the metro station. Make sure you stay in the deluxe triple room on the lower floors👌

Cool and fairly clean place, everything was great. Kind and absolutely perfect staff with smiles. Sumptuous and incredibly nice breakfast and a wide array of goodies. Compact rooms and great and perfect location just next door to overcrowded alley, and the square and Havatas airport bus.

The property was fairly clean and staff was really kind. Everything met what was needed, had a fairly nice stay in a fair value of money. The location in a downtown area was marvellous and perfect and there were a shopping area and a supermarket nearby. Moreover, it was not very far from a cobblestone street. They recommended a nice restaurant for turkish cuisine.

Functional deluxe triple room for amazing views of istanbul. Comfortable location close enough to nearby the Taksim Square, and stores, restaurants, cafe's, shops, street sellers, dancers and performers in a relatively quiet area. Besides, excellent for visiting Republic Monument.

My favourite property in Istanbul. Ideal place with decent staff and brilliant food. Unbeatable location for my purposes. Walking distance to a main shopping street and a shopping street across the street. A small restaurant and a disco bar available.

Spend our time here comfortably. Bathroom was marble-lined and it had a shower, hairdryers and towels for our convenience. Really loved the convenient location. Plus, we were 15 mins by foot from an art museum. Friendly staff, best value.
