A decent, inexpensive hotel not far from Taksim Square.
The room overlooked the street, so it could be a bit noisy at night and there would always be some light – either the sun or streetlights from nearby buildings. However, there are heavy curtains that help with this. On the upside, the street isn't dark and is well-lit, which is helpful if you're coming back late.
There are many cafes nearby with various price points, a metro station, and bus stops, so you can get anywhere easily.
The room itself is spacious but a bit tired – a little mold in the shower, creaky floors, but nothing too critical.
We found ants in our room, but it seemed like they were coming from somewhere else, not living in the room itself – perhaps from the hallway or outside. We reported it to reception, and they put down bait for us, which seemed to reduce them, though we still saw a few sporadic ones. When we reported it a second time, they offered to move us, but we declined since we were checking out the next day anyway. They assured us they periodically treat for them. They're not cockroaches or centipedes, so it wasn't a major issue for me, at least.
Overall, my impression of the hotel is rather positive.
