Alright but clean stay.

The rooms are clean, staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were very compact, hardly much space in them. Breakfast was alright, the best thing is the location as it is in the heart of Taksim, close to all public transports, shopping areas, and all the pubs and clubs around. I'd stay there again, however, the rooms are super close to each other, you can hear your neighbours, and you can definitely hear their TV if they ever turn it on.

I liked the hotel very much. I read somewhere that Agatha Christie could have lived here. I think the characters in her works could have, too. The hotel is a three-minute leisurely walk from the Taksim metro station and the beginning of Istiklal Street. It's easy to find. Check-in was quick, the receptionist was friendly. The room was quite large and cozy. The furniture was in excellent condition; there was a kettle with tea and coffee supplies, a refrigerator with free water, which was replenished on the second day. The room was clean. It had various nice little things, in particular, slippers, a shoehorn, a sewing kit, etc. The shower had a strong water pressure, hot water was coming straight away. The breakfast was quite decent, there was a choice, everything was of a good quality. Wi-Fi was stable and fast. The only downside for me personally was the thick pillows. Overall, the hotel made an extremely positive impression.

The price of the stay is for the location only. For the services inside i guess it is overrated . The room is nice and clean. Breakfast is very basic and the breakfast room is so small. I arrived with my bags till the elevator and a guy insisted to take them for me in the elevator to the room where there was cleaning ladies and he stood up waiting for me to give him a tip without closing the door. It was very weird situation.
