"I stayed 3 nights. The room was renovated and superclean. I had chosen the room with shared bathroom and toilet. I think it was shared by only one other room. Both room and shared facilities were renovated and super clean. There was also common area free coffee and drinking water. The area is super nice with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. My room was not facing the street and it was higher in the building so it was quiet. Overall this trip changed my view for Istanbul and I want to go...
