we stayed here for a week in the run up to the final of the champions league(yes, irish liverpool fans do exist). The hotel itself was cosy. Those working on reception could organise anything from a bosphorus cruise to a private taxi to gallipoli...brilliant. The restaurant/bar staff were efficient, friendly and really funny.Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel was located about 10 min cab journey from taksim square, so it was "out of the madness" so to speak. A cab to taksim cost 3 euro.
They picked us up from the airport and dropped us back on our departure free of charge which was really handy.
Rooms were cosy and clean. Housekeeping staff were meticulous to be fair to them.
Restaurants menu is basic but serves good honest turkish fair.
This may not be a 5 star hotel, but if i ever returned to istanbul, i would definately stay here again.
