"Everything was super clean from the lobby to the rooms. I loved the attention to details. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. They make you feel like a family member from the first sight. The hotel is situated in the heart of Taksim . Very conveniently situated. Close to most attractions, shops and restaurants. If given the opportunity to come back to Istanbul, this is the place I’m staying in . The front desk gentleman ( which I forgot his name, and he could be the owner ) was nothing...
