awesome:)
Pros:

The balcony was ideal—exactly as I had imagined. There was a discount for the café on the ground floor, and I had a wonderful time enjoying drinks in the room and spending time out on the terrace. I also really liked the interior décor.

Cons:

There are no chairs inside the room (though there are some on the balcony).

If you can sleep through the street noise book your stay there
Pros:

Rooms match the pictures

Cons:

Location was super noisy with the surroundings. The room next to me the door didn’t shut properly and the neighbors kept slamming it at 2 am.

I decided to book in another hotel and when I informed the hotel staff they did offer another room however the location from both sides was noisy. I asked to refund the last 3 nights but they didn’t agree to that.
I checked out 3 days earlier than anticipated because of the noise, the staff at the reception wasn’t even there to take the room card.

Pros:

Great staff, fun little cafe downstairs, beautiful rooftop terrace (albeit it not really for guests, more for the cafe patrons). The place has been considered, is really modern and has all the bits and pieces you need. It's on a BUSY street of bars, clubs and taxis BUT the soundproof windows etc (fourth floor) were fantastic, didn't hear much outside. Located really well on Taksim, TONs around to do. Highly recommend.

Cons:

The wifi didn't work for the time we were there, which I get happens, but it didn't get resolved after a day.

The hotel was nice overall and the staff were friendly.
Pros:

Nice hotel with a good location and comfortable stay.
The staff were friendly and everything was clean and organized.

Cons:

The only issue was that my room was on the top floor under the rooftop café, so the noise from moving chairs was a bit disturbing at times.

Gut gelegen und ein schönes, kleines Zimmer. Perfekt für einen Städtetrip.
Pros:

Sehr zentral gelegen und ich konnte alles zu Fuss erreichen.

Cons:

Die Reception ist in einer Cafebar, was ich nicht optimal finde. Zudem habe ich das Zimmer mit Frühstück gebucht, jedoch bietet das Hotel gar kein Frühstück an. Ich habe die Möglichkeit erhalten, in der Confiserie nebenan zu frühstücken. Als ich den Voucher vorzeigte, wurde ich sehr unfreundlich begrüsst (oder eben nicht begrüsst) und mir wurde mitgeteilt, dass ich 15-20 Minuten auf mein Frühstück warten müsste. Ich habe dann lieber verzichtet.
Die Lage ist sehr laut und die ganze Nacht hört man den Lärm der Menschen und der Strasse. Mich hat das nicht so gestört, aber wenn man es ruhig möchte, ist es nicht das richtige.
