A GREAT VALUE!!!
So. I don't know how much the charge is for a short stay. I stayed for a little over a month. But for a long stay, this place is a great value. I think it was somewhere around $370 for like 30+ days. That's a good deal.
So the room. Tiny. You're getting what you pay for here. But it's clean. On my way out I saw they were changing out the mattresses and they looked quality, so if you stay at Karman's you'll probably enjoy a good night's sleep. The AC unit is small and portable but very adequate for the room. To have the room cleaned or get towels or soap (etc etc) you have to ask. But most of staff speaks at least some English, and they are all friendly. 100tl for Laundry services. The location can't be beat. Cross the street and you're in Taksim's bustling markets, bars, and shops. I never felt like there was any danger in the area.
There's no real amenities in the place. They do have charming balconies though. Very nice place to sit back with beer and relax for an hour. Wifi was consistent, not the fastest ever but pretty good. Mini fridge worked fine as well. Shower is small but the hot water was always there.
All in all. It's not the Hilton. But if you're on a budget and don't care about things like breakfast, big tvs, fountains, pools, etc etc. this is your spot. It's clean, it's small, it's friendly, it's in a great location, staff is friendly but again, you must make requests for fresh towels, room cleaning, etc. but this isn't a big deal if you ask me at the price the hotel offers. I had a very enjoyable stay.
