Great central location, bit noisy at night but we managed to sleep through most of the taxi horns. Close to airport bus and all public transport. We stayed 2 nights and it was fine.

This property is in a great location, a couple of minutes walk to Taksim Square. The hotel is clean and tidy. Reception staff, especially Celeb was very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping not so helpful.
The room was smaller than in the photographs. Shower room was tiny however, it was ok.
I would definitely stay again due to the location of the hotel.

Good value for money
One of the closest hotels to Taksim Square (2 min. walk) at affordable price. Yes, you can go to mire luxury Point hotel and pay double per room. Friendly staff. Thanks a lot Ahmed for your service.
Be careful not to lose your room card or you have to pay a replacement fee.
To the guys at hotel: it will be great to put tissue boxes in rooms and bathroom. We only had roll tissues in bathroom and nothing in room.

Harika!
Taksim'de ulaşımın çok rahat olduğu. Temiz ve konforlu odalarında. Güler yüzle misafirlerini agirlamakta. Çok memnun kaldım
Yeri sebebiyle doğal olarak bir miktar gürültülü olabiliyor. Rahatsız olanlar kulak tıkacı ile rahat edecektir.
Otel Yönetime tavsiye: Ses için odalarda tek kullanımlık sünger kulak tıkacı verilebilir. Avrupa'da ses yalıtımsız binalarda sunuluyor müthiş faydalı.
Tekrar görüşmek dileğiyle sevgiler.

El hotel está muy bien ubicado. El cuarto estaba en general bien. Solo que estaba una toalla sucia. El colchón y almohadas cómodas! La regadera con fuga, cuando le abres. El refrigerador hace algo de ruido al funcionar y el ruido de la calle y escaleras se oye mucho en el cuarto. Pero la ubicación lo compensa. Tambien el trato de los empleados muy bueno y se esmeran, aunque el idioma puede ser un impedimento para hacerse entender. El desayuno muy coqueto y suficiente! Enfrente una casa de cambio y tienditas muy cerca. La estación del metro, funicular y autobuses caminando. Así como la calle Istikal

The hotel's location is convenient to walk aaround the Taksim area. If you take an airport bus from IST to Taksim, you can easily walk from the drop-off point to the hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly, and my room was comfortable.
