Pros:

Honestly, everything was very good. The female staff member was great, and she treated me very well, as did the other staff member. Everything was good, the place was clean, and it was in a great location. You literally walk out of the place for two minutes and you’re already on Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. Everything was close to me. I also really liked the atmosphere of the area because it felt both authentic and beautiful. The place combines a traditional, local atmosphere with the modern side of the city, which made the experience really enjoyable.

Lovely place in istiklal
Pros:

Location is fab. Right on istiklal street. AC was fast. It was clean.

Cons:

I booked single room. Reception initially said they dont have single rooms and asked for extra money for a double room. They must never ask for extra money since its not the guests problem. But after 5 minutes suddenly they gave me the single room which became available mysteriously. haha. Long story short, if they do the same to you, refuse the big room and ask for cancellation. I did not like the experience of check in. I hope next time they work in a straight and truthful way. Allah will give them more money if they stay truthful. I hope they will because they are good folks.

I had a great time
Pros:

Bekir is a great host. I was allowed to check in at 8:00 in the morning, which was a surprise since i only went there to ask them to keep my bag until check-in time. He's friendly and always keen to help.
The bed was very comfortale, i slept very well every night.
The hotel is right behind Istiklal street in a very animated and strategic place that has everything you need. I would definitly go back to it if i'm back in Istanbul.

Cons:

The hotel is surrounded by bars and pubs and the music played and football matches displayed on the tv are loud, so make sure to bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
There's a sketchy road not far from the hotel where transgender prostitues are soliciting. Make sure not to venture into empty roads at night.

Pros:

It's a very cheap hotel and still provides all necessary privacy and comfort/facilities. In case there was something the staff was happy to help. Next to the hotel are two amazing local places to drink coffee or have a big traditional Turkish breakfast for a low price. The atmosphere in the street is great
