The location is perfect. It's very central, just off Istiklal and very close to a metro station, so getting there from the airport is very easy. (In spite of its vicinity to nightlife it is very quiet.) It's near museums and galleries, bars, restaurants and shops. The rooms look nice and have very high ceilings. I stayed in two, and the only thing I would change is add some light, but I guess that's my personal issue. Check in just took a couple of moments, Ayşe was very friendly and when she found out I was interested in art gave me a huge magazine including a ton of information about exhibitions and the 15th Istanbul biennial. The building has an elevator (not a common thing in old buildings of Istanbul) and all rooms are air conditioned. It isn't stated in the room description, but it's important in that kind of climate. Generally, value for money is great and I will definitely stay there again!
