Located rather central in a good district of Istanbul, however the street is one of the less vibrant streets of the district. However a 5 min. walk takes you up to Bahariye and Moda districts which have excellent food and nightlife choices. Definitely don't expect anything luxury, but the place is as good as it gets for it's price range. The check-in desk is helpful, the rooms clean and nothing fishy about the way they present anything.
