I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It’s conveniently located near Taksim Square and close to the metro station, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms are spacious and clean with very nice beds, although the bathroom could use some improvement due to a lot of noise and water mess. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which really made my experience special. However, the dining options weren't the best; there weren't many varieties and I missed a proper Turkish breakfast.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, right across from Gezi Park and Taksim Square, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms are new and modern, although they felt a bit cramped, and I couldn't open the windows. Service was a mixed bag; Overall, it's good value for money given the location, but it could use some improvements in service and room comfort.

During my stay, I really enjoyed the hotel's location, as it was conveniently near Taksim but away from the hustle and bustle of Istiklal Street. The rooms were quite clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired; the staff was quite rude at times, which really affected my experience. Overall, it was a decent stay, but the service definitely needs improvement to make it truly enjoyable.

The hotel has a great location, just a short walk from Taksim Square, which is perfect for exploring. However, the rooms had a bad smell and were smaller than expected. While the staff was friendly and provided helpful services, the dining options were quite simple and repetitive. We were disappointed that there was no swimming pool, as we were misled about it being under construction when it actually wasn't.

The hotel is conveniently close to Taksim Square, which is a major plus. The rooms were modern but had an odd design that wasn't ideal. I appreciated the helpful staff, but the dining options were pretty simple. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the lack of a pool as advertised, which made it less suitable for families like ours.

The hotel is conveniently located near Taksim Square, making it easy to explore the area while being surprisingly quiet at night. The rooms are clean and modern, and the staff is incredibly helpful. However, I was disappointed that there is no swimming pool on-site, and the breakfast was quite simple. Overall, it's decent, but I wouldn't recommend it for families with kids looking for pool access.

The hotel has an excellent location, just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, which is a huge plus! However, the rooms were quite small, and the noise from the street made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The staff was friendly and polite, but there were some language barriers. The dining options were a bit dull, as the breakfast remained the same every day. Overall, it's a decent choice for the location, but don't expect too much in terms of room size or food variety.
