Location near taksim square. Just enough 5 mins walk from taksim square and will arrive at the hotel. Due to its location in a crowded area all the time, at night there is still noise from the street. The sound from the corridor and the next room was quite clearly heard. The receptionist can speak english. The rooms are quite big, just like the photos are there. There is a small kitchen, there is a pot and other cutlery, so it can cook in the room. The hotel rooms are warm in winter. Room service every day. The internet in the room I live in is unstable, but my friend on the 2nd floor is more stable and fast enough. Access to taksim square on foot, there are shelters (busak), subway (metro), taxi and dolbus many around taksim square. The istiklal street is very close. Lots of shops, restaurants, cafes around taksim. Breakfast is standard hotel turki. Good breakfast. The view from the breakfast place is pretty good.
