The only good thing about this hotel is that the staff is friendly and always ready to help. The hotel is located in a disadvantaged area, with a lot of noise at night (the rooms are not properly soundproofed), no elevators, located at the bottom of a steep slope and you have to walk up more than 500 meters to get to the bottom of Taksim. The hotel is next to a wood factory, and on Sundays there's an open-air market just 50 meters from the hotel selling fruit, vegetables, fish and second-hand clothes - in short, a living hell. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to travelers hoping for a peaceful stay in Istanbul.
