The hotel calls itself a small jewel, and that is pretty much spot on. Situated right at the end of the Havaist 16 bus line fom IST airport, it combines location and convenience with an almost whimsical, steampunk interior (modern installations made to look old, for those who do not know the steampunk concept), which works very well most of the time, with friendly personnel and an excellent value. The proximity to Taksim square has its obvious pros and cons, but this little hotel shields the guest mostly from the cons, so I was happy with my stay there,
