The rooms themselves are pleasant and well-maintained, but there were shortcomings in our room (206), which are unforgivable.:
1) the door to the balcony does not close tightly, hence the cold without a climate control system and it is very noisy even from those things on the street that could be leveled.
2) the climate control is buzzing and you have to choose whether to sleep without buzzing or in the cold (we rested in January 2025)

From 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., there is some kind of regular party with loud music on the street and it is impossible to sleep without earplugs. Then the police will pass with a flashing light, then the tram, then someone will quarrel. Stock up on earplugs even if you have a fixed door to the balcony.
The breakfasts across the street from here are ordinary without frills, the only thing they found was a hair in a tomato and saw a rat running through the ventilation system, and so the food is like food.
We booked a room with a hammam. The room is huge, stylish, clean. The balcony faced not Istiklal Street itself, but a corner street, which was a plus, there was less noise. Breakfast is served in the cafe opposite the buffet. You could take it with you and have breakfast in the room. We were very satisfied!
We were very lucky, the thong was settled on Istiklal, when we arrived they tried to say that there were no places, but we ordered a two-room penthouse (these are 2 adjacent rooms in fact, one looks at Istiklal, 2 into the courtyard).
The room is very nice, each has a sofa in addition to a double bed.
The downside is that the TV only has mostly Turkish channels, the smart TV was only in one room.
A pleasant hotel, it was a little unpleasant that I had to wait for check-in, but not critical. Keep in mind that there are steep high stairs. I didn't like the breakfast very much, but in principle it's not that bad. In the room itself, it is a little inconvenient that there is simply no dense door from the room to the toilet. Otherwise, everything is fine!
