The hotel location is near Taksim, 10mins walk, and 2 mins walk to nearest Metro and the Tram. The Galata Tower is short walk away from the hotel. The room is very modern, bed is comfortable, but shower room is too small :( Don’t expect the reception speaks good English, you may need your google translate. I met most Turkish people in the Tram or Metro are generally friendly, but not with the reception of the hotel unfortunately :(
