I checked out after my first night. While very close to Taksim square, this hotel is not in a great location, because the hotel is attached to a nightclub that goes on all night with music and people cheering. It will be impossible to get to bed before 4 or 5 am. The rooms were somewhat spacious but the decor is very dated and the carpets and chairs are stained. Thankfully, the bathroom was much cleaner than I expected given the main halls and lobby of the hotel. The shower had a beautiful rainshower faucet which I loved. The three men who work here ( cleaner, and the two receptionists) do a great job and go above and beyond but the management has saddled them with the burden of taking care of old dated hotel with no real supports in place. They all deserve more pay. Bless their hearts. Rooms should be renovated and soundproofed and steam cleaned. Pillow covers and bedding should be thrown out and replaced and lobby area should be widened and opened up further. I would only recommend the hotel for those who are budget travellers.
