Excellent location, the hotel is within walking distance to Taksim Square, the metro and the central Istiklal Street. Very friendly and attentive hotel manager. We were passing through Istanbul for a couple of days, and proximity to the Havaist bus stop was important for us. We had 4 large suitcases. We chose this hotel as it was the only one in the area that had an elevator. The hotel administrator met us at the entrance to the hotel and independently brought all our things to the room. The hotel is new, with a large new elevator, a room with a balcony and a great view of the city. The room has everything you need. It's like a mini apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. The hotel has a mini market where there is all the necessary products, fruits, vegetables and household essentials at normal and not inflated prices. You can call the market and they will bring everything you ordered to your room with free shipping. The price of the room is adequate considering the location.
