Pros:

I stayed on the 8th floor, and the view was amazing. I dare to say better than the view from most restaurants I’ve been to. The location is also extremely convenient. The bus stop is 2–3 minutes away, while the tram and Tünel are about 5 minutes on foot, making it easy to get to Eminönü, Cihangir, İstiklal, and other areas.
Galata Tower and Karaköy center are also within walking distance. I also used their fixed-price taxi service to the airport, which was worth it given how long the metro takes as well as it saves you the hassle of having to watch carefully whether a taxi booked through Uber or BiTaksi is taking the most direct route.
Ahmet and the rest of the reception team were very helpful and gave great recommendations for value-for-money places nearby, such as traditional lokantas and spice shops.Please note that daily the room was cleaned and decluttered.
I also uploaded a photo of the view. Next time I’m in Istanbul(Κωνσταντινούπολη), I will definitely choose them again.

Cons:

Nothing actually

Pros:

It was the second time we stayed at Union Hotel and we would definitely choose it again for our stay. The room was very clean and comfortable but the most remarkable thing was the amazing view of the city! It is close to everything you may need and the public transportation is only a few minutes walk away. Even though the site says there is no breakfast, every morning they are offering Turkish tea or coffee with sesame bread rings to take with you at the reception. The staff is very kind and helpful and always smiling. There js nothing negative to say about this Hotel! We loved it!!
