As a solo female traveler in Istanbul for a conference, I was mainly concerned about feeling safe. I felt very safe and cared for by the staff. Bed was comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. It was quiet and I slept well. My only recommendation would be a plant or a few plants to give the room a little more character, and a microwave in the room would be very nice. Thank you for a great stay. I would stay here again if I needed to be near Taksim square.
