I had a great time at this hotel, with its friendly staff and an excellent location near Taksim Square. The rooms were clean and pretty comfortable, but there was a bit of noise at times. The dining options, especially breakfast, were decent, offering seasonal local products. Overall, it's a solid choice for value for money, but it could improve on sound insulation.
