This hotel has a great location and that is why we chose it; however, being right by Taksim Square where there are people 24hrs, you run into all kinds of people, a lot of foreigner prostitutes and beggers all around the street that come out at night time, so be prepared for that. Room was not as nice as it showed in the photo. You can hear everyone in other rooms at night which is not nice at all. Also, even though there is no smoking allowed by law, people constantly smoke in their room and even in the stairs. When you come into your room, the room stinks smoke. Our bed was made up of two single beds and the sheet on it was too small for it; wasn't very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful though.
