hotel base in outscored on Istanbul a little bit far from main taksim squire but in 10 min walk there is bus station which can get you to Istanbul airport easy and metro bus to get you around , area is going thought re-generation phase so lot of building work , it seems area was industrial before this re-generation, but hotel is in good condition and there is set up shops and food places around it which open to late hours , it was farely priced .
