"Acceptable breakfast buffet, constantly replenished. A beautiful historic building with an incredible staircase. Friendly staff. Sufficient number of sinks and shower stalls. However, you have to wait a while for hot water and the plumbing needs an update. Bed linen and towels also look quite worn. Overall, an acceptable option for the money in the very center of Taksim. But keep in mind that it can be very noisy on Friday and Saturday until 2 AM, as there are entertainment venues located...

"we order the rooms, confirmed by Expedia by email, got We booked and paid for rooms through Expedia, received confirmation by email, and drove all the way to the hotel. Upon arrival, we were told the rooms were unavailable due to an issue and that Expedia had been informed—but this was never communicated to us. As a result, we were left to find alternative accommodation in a busy city, which was extremely stressful. To make matters worse, it took a full day to receive a response from Expedia....
