A wonderful hotel.
The location is very convenient - 2 steps from the subway, which is already somewhere.
The room is of sufficient size. A huge comfortable bed. A good conder. Tea station + water.
Clean modern bathroom without dampness, as in many hotels in Istanbul. There are slippers. There are no bathrobes.
Cleaning every day.
By the noise, you can't hear anything from the street with the window closed. Neighbors can be heard if they speak loudly. But not in a way that interferes with sleep.
The breakfast is wonderful: omelette, menemen, boiled eggs, 3 types of ham, lots of cheeses, toast, vegetables, fruits (watermelon, peeled oranges), yogurt, cereals, vegetables, greens, vegetable salads, olives, sausages, French fries with balls, sou burek, more pastries with cheese.
their trick is that they bake traditional pastries themselves - simits and several more types + 2 cupcakes + they make jams themselves, well, very tasty. Its own pastries are under heated lamps and this leaves them warm and crispy all morning.
Hardware coffee, black tea (the Turkish husband praised the tea very much), juices (I did not try it), sassi water (I tried it, good).
In the restaurant, and in general, the staff always reacted quickly to some of our requests (to change the plate, bring something to the room, call a taxi, order food from the restaurant). It is clear that they are trying and are very attentive to the little things.
The biggest advantage for us was the late check-out. Since we had a plane at 2 a.m. and it was record heat outside, a late check-out was an excellent option for us. I didn't have to pay for a full night for an additional 10 hours in the room.
For the July 2024 weekend, the room cost $150 a day.
Among the advantages: courteous staff, delicious and varied breakfast, 300 meters to Taksim Square. Cons: the Wi-Fi is dead, the room is cold in winter, and it is not possible to set up the heating system (remote control on the wall, air duct in the ceiling)!!! Turned on, it rattles like an old diesel engine, it's impossible to sleep. To dial at least + 20 in the room, you need to put at least +25 on the control!!! Since it is not capable of giving such a temperature, it will rattle! Or turn it off and freeze. Out of jokes. Check-in at 2 p.m. We arrived at 4 p.m. They told me to wait, like the room was being cleaned. We check in, there are cups on the table, covered with saucers. I take off the saucer, and there's lipstick on the cups from the last tenant! Such cleaning. But perhaps these are isolated cases. However, we didn't like it..
Excellent location: near Taksim Square, all types of transport, attractions within walking distance. The rooms are good, the breakfast is excellent, varied.
The location of the hotel is very convenient. If you want a view from the window, then you need to take a room on the 8,9 floor, although it is not a fact that there will be a view of the Bosphorus. In the center, all the buildings are very close to each other.
A great hotel a stone's throw from Taksim and the main bus stop from the airport. The metro and funicular are no more than five minutes away on foot. The room is clean and comfortable, the best for two. There is a kettle, coffee and tea. The staff is friendly and helpful. There were no problems with communication. I booked and paid on Yandex. I really liked the breakfast with a good selection of dishes. I was pleasantly surprised by the opportunity to leave my luggage for free until the evening after checking out of the room. It's worth its 4 stars.

The hotel was chosen because of the location. Since we love living in the Taksim area. Of the advantages, I can highlight :
- Large bed in the room ( comfortable )
- In the morning , there was delicious black tea in a teapot for breakfast .
- The soap accessories that were in the room are not bad.
Of the cons now :
- The card with which to open the number constantly did not work . I had to run to the reception . We changed it 10 times a week .
- The staff is relaxed . He 's not trying to help you .
- There was a constant knock on the room with an offer of drinks , if you didn 't open the door , they opened the door themselves . It was annoying .
- The breakfast is meager ( who is used to a good buffet , you will definitely miss it ) .
- The room is shabby ( requiring cosmetic repairs )
- Only two sockets per room, not enough
- Very slow Internet connection, which was often lost ( it is impossible to even scroll through the tape)
- Mini Starbucks in the lobby ( coffee from the car and expensive )
The Internet is disgusting. The rooms are clean, the breakfasts are delicious, the staff is friendly, the location is great, near Istiklal street. I will recommend it to my tourists.
The 4-star hotel does not pull at all , the rooms are small , there are no bathrobes , no toothbrushes , there is nothing in the mini bar, there is a mini starbucks on the ground floor, expensive coffee , only breakfast is included
