We really loved our stay with Muro!
This is a boutique hotel, you can find this place on google maps and they have their own website. The location is very good! Close to many tourist places, but just enough out of the way to be quiet at night. The area is a little more working class neighborhood. My husband and I realized this is in a major shoe production area - with shops and workers all making hundreds of shoes! You will see them ship out inventory in the morning - but all by hand and by carts. Up the hill there is an amazing cafe - Faith Kofte - we visited twice!
The place itself you will find mixed reviews. Some people coming straight from the States or maybe London will say it’s outdated and run down. The rest of us who have travelled all of Europe will tell you it’s a nice place and offers a comfy bed, a hot shower, and a nice breakfast! We would definitely stay here again!!!! Yes the place could use updates, but not required to enjoy your stay. I guess it depends if you travel to sit in hotel rooms all day or if you travel to explore the city around you.
At checkin Muro went over the map of Istanbul with us and that was a huge help!! Definitely ask his advice on what to see and do. He has good ideas!!
Thank you so much Muro!! All the best from Wisconsin :)
