Well, after reading many reviews about this hotel I was very skeptical before booking this place, but since it is Istanbul, I barely sit in the hotel and decided to take my chances and I was glad that I did , the hotel location is not in the best area when it comes to class but the area has everything you need and very affordable, it is very close to all transportation, tram and metro are walkable, Eminono is at a walkable distance also, and the hospitality is top, they were extremely friendly and espically Mr. Hadi, the bottom line, if you are looking for a decent place in a vibrant area go for this.
