I was there on business trip and stayed for 3 nights, the hotel's location is good. There are few big shopping malls nearby, travel by taxi will be around 10mins (taxi fare around 10TL). Hotel is very clean, staff are great and helpful. I have arrived the hotel around 10am, and the room is ready for us to check-in (normal check-in time should be after 1pm, I think). I will definitely be back to this hotel again (I travel to Istanbul twice a year). Highly recommended.
