The picture in Internet is very nice, but when you walk in room is very small, bathroom is very small, shower area very tiny and you can’t hear the noise from this room to other room people other room when they have conversation you can hear it. It’s very loud and also street noise from front and behind the hotel very loud. It’s hard to get sleep. Basically I wouldn’t recommend it.

Great central location, bit noisy at night but we managed to sleep through most of the taxi horns. Close to airport bus and all public transport. We stayed 2 nights and it was fine.

The hotel's location is convenient to walk aaround the Taksim area. If you take an airport bus from IST to Taksim, you can easily walk from the drop-off point to the hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly, and my room was comfortable.

This property is in a great location, a couple of minutes walk to Taksim Square. The hotel is clean and tidy. Reception staff, especially Celeb was very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping not so helpful.
The room was smaller than in the photographs. Shower room was tiny however, it was ok.
I would definitely stay again due to the location of the hotel.

Good value for money
One of the closest hotels to Taksim Square (2 min. walk) at affordable price. Yes, you can go to mire luxury Point hotel and pay double per room. Friendly staff. Thanks a lot Ahmed for your service.
Be careful not to lose your room card or you have to pay a replacement fee.
To the guys at hotel: it will be great to put tissue boxes in rooms and bathroom. We only had roll tissues in bathroom and nothing in room.

Greit
Fint hotel med flott beliggenhet, men dårlig internett av og til og renhold er ikke bra. Håndklær er ikke helt rene og litt gule. Kopper ble ikke byttet i hele 11 dager vi var der. Da vi spurte om å bytte den så sier housekeeper at vi kan bare vaske den.. veggene er slitte og trenger å vaskes

Otel konum olarak iyi bir yerde. Odalar küçük, servis kalitesi orta. Sabah kahvaltı sorduğumuzda cıkış yapacak mısınız diye sormaları ilginçti. Klimaların kumandasını yazın verdiklerini söylediler. TV yalnızca YouTube izleyebiliyorsunuz. Genel olarak vasat üstü bir otel
