Had an amazing time at Ali's Black Art Hotel. Ali was an extremely helpful host and the room and amenities were exactly as advertised. The breakfast was also really good. I regularly enjoyed the tea and coffee which was economical. I was working remotely from the cafe upstairs which is super cool and felt like home. The food at Ali's Dad's restaurant next door was amazing. Went there quite a few times during my stay. Thank you Ali for being such an amazing host. I will strongly recommend this to anyone traveling to Istanbul and looking for a hip and economical hotel super close to Taksim.
