“Esen Life Otel's location near public transport makes getting around Istanbul straightforward. While the air conditioning is a welcome amenity, be aware that the spa advertised is actually an unaffiliated business next door, offering massages at a significant price. In my opinion, it's a simple, no-frills base for exploring the city.”
