“This remodeled hotel distinguishes itself with a truly friendly staff who are responsive to requests. Its location on level ground near Taksim Square is quite convenient, placing guests within easy reach of the airport bus and an array of shops and eateries. While some might find the late-night street noise a challenge due to sound insulation, the overall experience strikes me as positive.”
