Pros:

La ubicación es estupenda, en un barrio cerca del centro con tranvía. La mejor opción si no quieres dormir en pleno centro rodeado de sitios turísticos. La relación calidad precio es muy buena y el trato con Mates es muy rápido e eficiente.

Cons:

El Wifi no funcionó y la ducha nos quedamos sin agua caliente por la noche.

Good option in Istanbul near the centre
Pros:

Perfect location, with plenty of transportation options, restaurants and cafes nearby. Staff was really friendly and helpful, and provided an iron when I needed one.

Cons:

Check-in process was tricky. There is no staff at the hotel, I arrived late at night, and there was nobody there. I called the number in the door but nobody answered. I called another number sent by message, and the guy who replied told me they no longer worked at the hotel, and sent me another number to contact. It would be great if they share the check in process prior to arrival.
Room was ok, but certainly not a "Deluxe Suite". I would've appreciated a desk and chair, and extra lighting, there wasn't much light at night.
Bear in mind there is no lift, so consider this if you are carrying heavy luggage. It wasn't my case, so I was ok taking the stairs.
