Oddly, a lot of people who have just had surgery recuperate at this hotel, which is weird for a hotel. You will see a lot of people who have just been operated as guests, which is not ideal when you are visiting Istanbul. Other than that, the hotel is nice and clean overall. I do think it is far awak from main areas such as Karakoy, Bebek, Galata, it is not within walkable distance, as other reviews said.
