The location of the hotel is very convenient! It is located 2 minutes from the T1 Findikli-Mimar Sinanviversitesi tram stop. Within walking distance of Galatoport (7min), Taksim Square (10min. Intensive uphill climb))
The hotel itself is clean and cozy. Room cleaning every day. The bathroom has a full set of accessories - shower gel, shampoo, hair balm, body cream, and these are not disposable bags like many people have, but full-fledged 500g vials. The hair dryer is standard as in all hotels.
The staff at the hotel is friendly, helpful and tells you how to get to where you need to go and what is where.
The excellent location of a very cozy hotel. If you need Galataport and walks along Istiklal Cd and Taksim and if you are passing through Istanbul for 1-2 nights, then it is difficult to imagine the best place. It is convenient to get from the airport by metro to Taksim station with one transfer to Gayrettepe and then, without leaving the metro, by funicular in 4 minutes and you are on Kabatas in 5 minutes on foot along a flat street from this hotel. In the evening, take the funicular and you are back in the center of Istanbul. The staff speaks excellent English and is very friendly and ready to provide a service, even to order a taxi cheaper and more reliable than just looking in the city. There are only one advantages for a relatively budget price.
A cozy clean hotel. Friendly staff. Tea, coffee or lemonade are always offered at the reception. Great location. I specifically chose this area. I booked 2 days before arrival, then extended it for another 2 days.
Among the disadvantages: the view from the window and the lack of breakfast, but there are many coffee shops with a wonderful brunch within walking distance.
