Everything at this hip new hotel was fine as we expected. The food provided was local! We greatly enjoyed rooms with a/c. The location was handy for exploring this exceptional area, really close to many top attractions, the centre of Old Istanbul and metro or tram. Ate at La Tasca, it's around 10-15 minutes walk from the venue.
