We stayed here on coming into Istanbul and leaving Istanbul. The room was comfortable, clean. The front desk staff were very cheerful, professional, help full. The location was great - very near to Sishane train station. Short walk to buses, tram, Taksim square, Indian vegetarian restaurant, Vegan Felafel Restaurant. Closer to bars. We enjoyed our stay will come back and stay here. One thing be aware - Fri,Sat & Sundays are party days. The loud music goes on whole night around the hotel. Not the Hotel's fault. If possible skip those days or bring ear plugs.
