I have only good things to say about the hotel and our stay. Their welcome was very appreciated and EXTREMELY helpful! It was great to be greeted upon arrival and to be able to ask as many questions regarding things to do and see in istanbul. the room itself was immaculate..clean and with all modern decor. The hotel was very well situated (at Taksim Square) and it had very easy access to the old town area via metro and tram only a few minutes walk away. I would definitely stay there again and would also recommend it to anyone else thinking of travelling to istanbul.
