the location was great (very central!). i could easily walk to many attractions. the breakfast area on the 11th floor had a great view. the food was varied.
The area around the hotel felt a little run down. the taxi transfer process was confusing. it saves hassle and money.

The location was acceptable and allowed easy access to the Galata area.
the shower leaked across the entire bathroom floor and into the hallway. Staff claimed no other rooms were available, yet a similar room magically was when I mentioned my employment. the same flooding issue occurred in the second room.

location is alright. a few issues
busy streetlimited variety
The room itself was okay. i think, but it faced a busy street and another building. so, the view i expected wasn't there. also, the lobby staff seemed eager to overcharge me. They sold me an istanbul card for way more than it was worth. finally, the breakfast variety was limited.

The location is very convenient. It's close to many points of interest.
The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. It also got into the hallway. The floor levels was to be the problem, not something simple like a blockage.
