Marriott's casual Moxy brand, in a lane just off İstiklal Avenue. A purple MOXY sign hangs on an old European-style building, and instead of a front desk you check in at the 24-hour bar with a welcome drink. It's new, so reviewers praise the clean rooms and strong water pressure. Rooms are small with no fridge or kettle, but Taksim Square, the fish-sandwich stalls and Galata Tower are all walkable.
