The hotel has a good Wifi, hot water, hairdryer, and a wardrobe. The room was so cold during my stay, and I even caught a cold on the second night. The service was friendly and helpful, especially after midnight. The location is close to Taksim Square but was very noisy, not helped by the night porter speaking loudly.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room was a bit cold but clean. It was a little small for two persons. The staff were extremely helpful and even walked me to the bus station for my early morning airport transfer. The location was good, close to Taksim square, and the area was quiet. However, there was some noise over the weekend, and the room lacked proper air conditioning.
