The location is good, not noisy, near the metro, but the hotel itself is tired. The expectation is in the photo, but the reality is upon arrival. But this is a problem for many hotels, tired, worn, and so on. Such...
A great hotel with good staff. The plumbing is clean and working, everything you need is there. There are many places to eat nearby, plus excellent transport accessibility. If you are going shopping, there are several large shopping malls nearby, if you take a walk, then take the metro 1 station to Taksim Square. Of the disadvantages, perhaps only the lack of a view from the window, but for me this is not critical, and in Istanbul there is not so often a hotel with a view.
An excellent and not expensive hotel in Istanbul. There are busy shopping streets around - a lot of textiles and jewelry. There are enough cheap cafes. High-quality shurma for 130 lire. Fresh fruits (peaches, nectarines are especially good) and walnuts of the new harvest are sold at intersections.
The hotel itself has quite tolerable breakfasts, normal Internet and, most importantly, a price tag of 80-90 dollars - and this is at the peak of occupancy in Turkish hotels in September-October 2022.
