The location was exactly described - super close to Taksim square and Galata Tower. The hosts were kind enough to offer me the room with the balcony during my stay. I was In turkey for just the night, so they gave me helpful pointers on how to make the best of my time. The hotel is located on a busy street so just make a note of that if you’re a light sleeper. Bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. The room/place also smelled faintly of cigarette smoke so something to keep in mind, but smoking in doors is a lot more common in Europe. I liked the street it was on - lots of life and culture to see.
