Wonderful hotel! Quiet, cozy, homey. Breakfasts are varied and very tasty. My husband and I stayed from January 8 to 15 in room 212. The room is compact, but very bright, quiet and warm. The staff is very friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. Very convenient location - Taksim Square - all types of transport nearby, a pedestrian street a minute's walk away. We were very pleased with the hotel and Istanbul, despite the winter weather. Thank you, Akka Lush!
