“An enjoyable stay! The location was unbeatable and convenient, very close to the shopping district near Taksim Square and surrounded by cafes, bars and restaurants. We easily walked to Tomtom Kebap, about 10-15 minutes away, for lunch and dinner. I was pleased that the standard king room I booked actually had four beds and a balcony. Public parking was nearby, and the service was exceptional.”
