Pros: Good communication, owner was always easy to reach. The room was spotless clean and bed was comfortable. There was a breakfast option which is nice. Checkin was great as they have 24/7 service. The area is a bit rundown but close by to Taksim and Istiklal so that makes up for it.
Cons: The issue for me at least is the building is right by the side of a busy street and the room had two windows right at street level. There was 24/7 noise from the street and it made getting sleep difficult as there were sounds of big lorries pulling up and horns honking almost constantly.
Overall if you want a place for a night or two it’s ok but for longer stay paying a few more extra dollars for a better place would be worth it IMO. I would recommend to bring a silicone ear plug at least.
