    The hotel is at a few steps from Taksim, it is very convenient for exploring the city. Though it is in the middle of the nightlife, it is very quiet. The beds are extra comfy and perfectly clean. Burak is a great host, attentive and caring. I would definitely return.

    great location in the old town, very close to the main attractions. We took a taxi from the airport but the traffic was terrible (which is normal in the old town). Celal was already waiting for us when we got there and he kindly offered tea and Turkish delights on our arrival. Celal was a great host! He helped us with buying SIM card (350 liras which is cheapest I've found), booking transfers (350 liras from or to SAW and 400 liras from or to the international airport), recommending local restaurants etc.
