This room is perfect for a citytrip to Istanbul. Very close to the center of the city and some cool neighbourhoods, and very close to public transport. The balcony was a nice extra, the bathroom was spotless, the shower works great. Big plus: the room gets cleaned every day and there's someone at the reception 24h a day. We did miss the personal approach a bit, this is more of a hotel than a cute room with some local. The people at the reception were always available to answer questions, though, but if you don't ask, they won't make an effort to direct you to cool spots in the city. Not to say that they weren't very friendly when we did ask for information, they were always lovely.
