I had a pretty good stay overall at the hotel. The location was a major plus, being close to shopping and cultural hotspots. The rooms were spacious and clean, and I loved the classic decor. However, the service could use a bit of improvement, and the dining options were quite limited. Still, considering the price, it was decent value for the money.

The hotel has a great location, very close to Taksim Square, which made it easy for me to explore. The rooms are spacious and clean, but the noise from the busy road was a bit too much at times.
