The location is excellent in that it is just a few minutes from Istiklal. The service is excellent, as they have a staff on site in the building, who are very helpful. You can easily store bags if you come early or leave late. The room has local flavor. The only drawback, mentioned by others, is that it can be a bit noisy as the building is on a busy street, and this room is near the front door. But its great value for money, and especially good for a short stay in Istanbul.
