Nippon Hotel is just a couple of blocks from Taksim Square; the Times Square of Istanbul. The hotel is furnished in the Japanese modern minimalist style and is extremely clean. The restaurant is pleasant and efficient with a full breakfast buffet available. As with most European hotels, there is no washcloth provided, so bring your own. Although the hotel has a fitness facility on premesis, the hours are limited which prevented our use. There are other hotels nearby and lots of restaurants with outdoor tables. Small stores across the street can provide anything you might have forgotten. A great location.
Our stay was OK

You can take a walk from the hotel to the famous Taksim square. The San Antonio Church can be reached by walking just in case a Catholic guest would like to hear mass. One thing that I did not like about the hotel was that it was too cold for comfort (for me, because I cam from a tropical country). The heater was not working very well. The breakfast menu carried the same food each day. All in all however, it was a nice place to stay. The hotel personnel were courteous and helpful.
