Surprisingly clean, spacious with balcony, helpful Russian-speaking staff, near public transport and cafes.

Great value for money with spacious rooms and convenient location near Taksim. Staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful and friendly.

The food for breakfast could use more variety.

I practically had a continental breakfast right next to Galata Tower, Dolmabahce Palace, and Spice Bazaar. the airport shuttle was a fun expense of joy. Taksim Square and Maiden's Tower were practically my neighbors. Cons: Who needs windows or ventilation in a double room?

During my Christmas stay, I was impressed by the cleanliness and attractive decor of the rooms. The hotel's prime location near the main square and popular avenue made it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. the proximity to bus and metro stations provided easy access to public transportation, making it effortless to navigate Istanbul.

One downside of the hotel's location was the noise level during weekend nights, particularly coming from the nearby nightlife area. It was quite loud, and I found it challenging to sleep without using earplugs.

The staff were super friendly and accommodating, carrying my heavy bags up the stairs when I arrived, the room was spotless with a ton of space, and the location is a total win being right by all the public transit and hotspots for grub and nightlife - I loved chilling on the balcony before heading out at night. Even though I had a bit of trouble with language barriers at the front desk, it didn't put a damper on my awesome stay. 🌟

Great location near Taksim Square, metro, and bus. Spacious rooms with good internet. Helpful multilingual staff. Close to main tourist street and mosques. Balcony offers a relaxing night view.
