Noise isolation could be better. The door is thin and gives directly onto the staircase.

Una gran experiencia en Taksim.
Pros:

Me encantó el trato del personal. El chico de recepción es un encanto, nos ayudó en todo e, incluso, contratamos un Transfer al aeropuerto, lo gestionó y nos ayudó con un objeto perdido en él. La ubicación es muy buena, está a 5 min de Taksim Square. Las camas son muy cómodas.

Cons:

El barrio es un poco regulero, pero no es peligroso para nada. La mampara de la ducha estaba rota y no había ni siquiera gel de manos.

Pros:

L'emplacement est top. Bon rapport qualité prix pour le lieu. Si vous voulez un logement pas trop cher avec un bon emplacement proche de la place Taksim cet hôtel est idéal.

Cons:

La propreté à certains endroits, l'hôtel est un peu vieillissant mais si vous recherchez un prix et un emplacement central ce logement correspond aux attentes.

Habitación nueva y cómoda cama
Pros:

Habitación amplia y personal atento. Nos guardaron las maletas hasta la hora de ir al aeropuerto.

Cons:

La tapa del WC estaba suelta y el techo tenía moho de condensación. El barrio que limita da un poco de respeto.

Great value in charming, central location
Pros:

Beautiful location in a charming side street, centrally located. We stayed on the fourth floor with a nice view over the roofs of some of the neighboring buildings. Friendly and helpful staff!

Cons:

Elevator is not working, but the staff helped us carry our luggage to the fourth floor. The place is clean but not modern.

Bien predispuestos pero con mucho por mejorar
Pros:

El personal era amable y bien predispuesto, cuando pedíamos algo lo hacían de forma expeditiva y eficaz. Nos tuvieron las valijas varios días antes de que hicieramos el check in mientras hacíamos un viaje a otro lado sin ningún problema.

Cons:

La cama era defectuosa (se hundía en las esquinas), las sabanas eras muy malas (no había cubrecolchón sino una sabana que ser corría al más mínimo movimiento). El ascensor no funcionaba y eran 2 pisos por escalera empinada. No había casi nunca alguien de recepción. No nos limpiaron en 4 días la habitación, tuvimos que dejar anotado en un papel si nos pudieran dar más jabón y papel higiénico porque no encontrabamos personal (cosa que hicieron, pero nunca limpiaron la habitación). Para ir a Sultanahmet había que sí o sí combinar transportes, no esta cerca de un metro ni un tranvía y no hay ningun colectivo que te deje en el casco histórico, había siempre que tomarse un colectivo al puente de Galata y de ahí combinar.

Very good
Pros:

Overall, this is a great place to stay. It's definitely budget accommodation, but very affordable and comfortable. My room was ready early, so they let me in at 10am.
Air-conditioning worked well, shower was hot, plenty of teabags and coffee.
Multiple buses from the main road and metro shit 10 minutes walk.

Cons:

Soundproofing wasn't the best, but not so bad that I won't recommend this place.

Pleasant
Pros:

Very nice location to explore Taksim surroundings. The street is quite quiet compared to the ones nearby.

Cons:

The ceiling lamp in the room gave almost no light at all. Overall the room was not very clean, and there is mold in the bathroom.

Enjoyed the hospitality of the people!
Pros:

Amazing hosts, very helpful. Large, comfortable beds, cleaning every 2-3 days. 2 minutes away from Istiklal street and close to trams/buses that will take you to all of the tourist areas.

Cons:

Mold in the bathroom (floor & ceiling). Holes in the floor covered by carpets. My foot went trough one hole near the bathroom door.
