You Can Easily Find Plenty to Do
The hotel location is convenient with plenty to do. Taksim Place is just a couple of minutes away and the Galata Bridge is about a half-hour walk away. There are also plenty of restaurants, cafés, and shopping. Istiklal Avenue is within easy reach and if you like to party, you will find nightclubs too.

The Suite Interior and Size Are Great
You don't get to see this type of amazing hotel interior too often. It has a retro look with modernised furnishings and plenty of space. You have everything you need microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, iron, and more.

Navigating Around the Hotel Is Tricky
There's a steep climb getting to the hotel and the walkway to the hotel entrance is a bit dodgy. Walking on the hotel street is hazardous too. You have to walk on a very busy road with cars speeding by. Getting to the hotel and walking in the area could be a challenge for children and the elderly.
negative:
The Wi-Fi Is Not the Best
The Wi-Fi is not the best. It's not dependable and hard to get a connection. You may even find that it's not working for your entire stay!
negative:
Staff Needs Additional Hospitality Lessons
The staff seem to have an aloof attitude mixed with a bit of smugness. In a way, it's as if they don't want to be bothered. What's more, they have very limited English skills. For example, if you request a toothbrush they might bring you a roll of toilet paper!
