If you are looking for a place in the heart of Istiklal, Taksim, Galata and Sishane metro station, this is the place for you. If you are looking for a clean place, this is also it. And I don't think you can get any better place around that location in terms of the price. So, the price was great, as well. The only problem is the noise; especially during night hours of the weekends. This hotel is surrounded by lots of bars, restaurants, clubs, etc. So, there will be lots of noise at nights and there is nothing anybody can do about that. However; there is also a noise from the inside of the hotel due to the restaurant they have. I was staying in the 5th floor so I could hear the music, people chanting easily, but, as I said, there is already lots of noise coming from outside so the noise at the hotel doesn't bother much. Rooms are clean, bathrooms are great. It was a lot better than I expected.
