GOOD CHOICE CLOSE TO TAKSIM SQUARE.
Pros:

The location is very central, close to Istikal Avenue, which , especially at night, is full of life and a highlight of a trip to Istanbul. The room was spacious, clean and with good amenities. Breakfast was more than adequate with a good variety of hot ( not that many options here) and cold choices.

Cons:

Not many complaints. I guess that house-keeping hours were rather erratic. On some occasions , on returning to my room at around 3.00 pm , I would see that house-keeping had still not passed, so I had to wait for them. On other occasions I would come back from breakast and find it in the room! Not really a big deal.... Would stay here again.

Pros:

We were pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival, with stunning uninterrupted views of the Bosphorus. The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.

Cons:

The room could benefit from more thorough cleaning, and greater attention should be given to replenishing the tea and coffee supplies. The breakfast selection was relatively limited, with no live egg cooking station available. Additionally, the sauna and Turkish hammam were closed for renovation during my stay, which was disappointing.

Excellent location, quite good breakfast, very good value for money
Pros:

Excellent location, as well as excellent value for money. Quite good breakfast, good selection of pastries, vegetables, cheeses and more. Very friendly staff, they helped us a lot with parking the car. I advise anyone who goes by car to ask the hotel staff for detailed instructions on how to get to the hotel by car because the navigation does not work well in that area. Access to the hotel by car is actually very easy (if you do not follow the navigation).

Cons:

The hygiene in the bathroom could be a little better, although I wouldn't say it was bad.

RECOMAND
Pros:

Recomand. Locatia foarte buna cu conexiuni la toate mijloacele de transport in comun, personalul foarte amabil (1 singur receptioner din cei 3, era mai grestos), parcare, valetii super ok, restaurante bune in zona, ajungi foarte repede pe Istiklal.

Cons:

Nu a functionat AC-ul in camera unde stateam in a doua seara si ne-au mutat in alta camera (au avut o problema tehnica la intreg etajul).
