Taksim
7.6 out of 10, Good, (190 reviews)
"Acceptable breakfast buffet, constantly replenished. A beautiful historic building with an incredible staircase. Friendly staff. Sufficient number of sinks and shower stalls. However, you have to wait a while for hot water and the plumbing needs an update. Bed linen and towels also look quite worn. Overall, an acceptable option for the money in the very center of Taksim. But keep in mind that it can be very noisy on Friday and Saturday until 2 AM, as there are entertainment venues located...
