“Great location and exceptional staff”
We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel in Taksim, just a few minutes’ walk from Istiklal Street, which made getting around the city very easy. We booked two rooms. One was on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible, for my mother and her caregiver. The room size was acceptable and functional, though a bit more space would have made movement even easier. Our second room was for three people, with a double bed and an extra bed provided by the hotel. It was comfortable for two and slightly tight for three, but still clean and well arranged. The staff were absolutely outstanding — extremely kind, polite, and genuinely helpful. They supported us in every possible way and showed great flexibility and cooperation throughout our stay. We are truly thankful for their hospitality. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for its excellent location, comfort, and especially the amazing staff.

Not impressed with this hotel at all. I do not think this hotel should be ranked as five star. The rooms are mediocre, quite small, weird shower/toilet configuration, not very clean (blinds and curtains had stains all over, electric outlets at the sink covered in stains) Breakfast is ok. Location is good. Staff is friendly, although I have been told multiple times that the security deposit would be released within a few days (as it normally should) it’s been over two weeks, still blocked. Also, I’m pretty sure that the Byredo shampoo and hand wash in the bathrooms are filled with some cheap hand soap.

“I would recommend this hotel to the people who like a good level of service for a reasonable price.”
Location is 10 from 10, 5 minutes to metro station and Havaist bus stop (Bus line from the city to international Istanbul airport). You can travel by foot to various historical and favorite tourist places.

“Amazing stay”
Located in the heart of the city, on Taksim square, 5 minutes by foot to Istiklal street and close to Galataport area. Wonderful breakfast, good wi-fi and amazing city view from the room.

“Not too bad, not too good”
For a truly immersive stay, I would recommend considering this location that offers a wealth of attractions within easy walking distance. Imagine the convenience of leisurely strolls to significant sights! Furthermore, picture yourself enjoying breathtaking views of the mosque and Taksim Square, particularly magical during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset. It would also wonderful to have the simple pleasure of a Nespresso coffee right in your room. And with the amazing AKM culture center just moments away, you'd have unparalleled access to local arts and performances, ensuring a pretty good and deeply localized experience.
