The hotel is within a few meters away from the British Consulate and 5 mins walk away from Istiklal Street and about 15 mins walk away from Taksim Station.
There are a variety of food options within 5-15 mins walk depending on what you fancy.
Despite being a vegeterian and a fussy eater, I was very happy with the options which was one of the main reasons for choosing this hotel.
The staff were nice but the facilities were not the cleanest. Our rooms were on 1st floor and both rooms stank of smoke. The pub downstairs was noisy too and the traffic noise and loud music from the chapel pub/club went till 1am or more every night desipte not being weekend.
Special mention for the cleaning ladies who were really nice and courteous.
There's also a little corner shop withing a few meters.
The indian restaurants around the hotel are actually Pakistani restaurants which we figured later. So perhaps they might offer good options if you are non vegetarian.
My favourite places:
1) Safa: For Baklavas specially Soguk baklava.
2) The Himalayan Restaurant: Nepalese restaurant for amazing vegetarian options like Momos, Dal roti etc.
3) Falafel House: Great falafels.
4) Any clean vendor: Freshly squeezed orange juice.
