I wanted to give this review 4 stars but there are a couple things that stopped me from doing so. The first is while the service at the hotel is there, no one seemed friendly. They were doing their job but there wasn't anything pleasant about it. Unless you were in the lobby, WiFi was brutally slow. The breakfast was good and a few of the items changed every morning so there was some variety. The room and bathroom appeared to be clean but the floors were "sticky" - like it was the same mop and pail of water used to wash every other floor for the last few days. The room we had was on the 10th floor and had a decent view and the location of the hotel was good for access to Taksim. In hindsight, if I was looking to see the historic sites, I'd look for a hotel on the other side of the water... About a 1 hour walk.
