We decided not to stay here after arriving. The pictures don’t reflect how outdated the furnishings are, or the fact it is a pretty run down and possibly unsafe side street down from Taxim Square. The towel rack in bathroom had come off, the light by side of bed had come out of ceiling, and room smelled of smoke. absolutely fine for someone on a budget, and preferably able to speak Turkish/not look like a tourist. Otherwise stay in Galata or Beyoğlu proper.
