However, it may not be suitable for elderly people or those who have difficulty walking, as the hotel is located on a sloped street.

The location is convenient, just a short walk from Taksim, with easy access to the metro and bus stations. There's also a BIM supermarket nearby offering affordable prices on everyday essentials. I recommend booking a room with a balcony — although it's small balcony, the views from rooms 501 or 601 are quite nice. The shower is clean and works well. The area is quiet since it’s slightly downhill from the busy Taksim area, so you avoid the noise but still remain within walking distance of Istiklal Street and Taksim Square.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Me and my family are fit so did not mind the once a day walking up hill to the main road. Anyways loads of taxis. It is central located close to bus and metro. 10 minutes walk to Taxim square. Many restaurants with carrefour down the road. It has AC and great shower.

The lighting was a bit poor in my opinion- it was quite dark in the room in the evening despite all lights being switched on. The hotel is located on a steep street- it was not a problem for us but it might be an issue for someone else. The prayers from the Mosque nearby were very loud - these run 5-6 times a day, the worst one being at 3-4 am.

We arrived quite early in the morning, and despite check-in time being 2 p.m., we got our room at 7am.The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bed was amazing, as well as the shower. The wifi was a bit patchy, but it was not a big issue for us. There are plenty of shops and small restaurants nearby. The hotel is only 10 minutes away from Taskim and Istaklal Avenue. The staff were amazing - very helpful and polite. They store our luggage on departure without extra cost.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The environment was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout my visit. The location is perfect — close to everything I needed, yet quiet enough for a good night's rest. Most importantly, the staff was incredibly caring and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. I truly appreciated their hospitality. Highly recommended!

Arriving at dark can feel dodgy due to the dark side alleys. But once you know the area it actually feels safe :)

Very clean rooms, nice view over the mosque and great location. The staff was super acommodating and friendly

Actually we really love this hotel. Regardless their location on the hill.. otherwise all very good!!! The person on the front desk name Muhammad is very nice n helpful..

The neighborhood initially felt a bit strange – the surrounding streets were quite dirty, and some buildings looked abandoned, although it seemed that people were living in them. Despite that, we felt very safe at all times, both during the day and at night, and the area was quiet. The room showed some signs of wear, but thanks to the high level of cleanliness, we still felt very comfortable. There is also a mosque nearby, which we noticed on the first morning when the call to prayer woke us up. This might be surprising for someone who has never stayed near a mosque before, but we quickly got used to it :)

The place was very clean, with fresh towels provided every day. The staff at the reception were always kind and helpful, and they did their best to assist us with anything we needed :) The location is another great advantage – just a 10-minute walk to Taksim Square, with easy access to public transport, shops, and restaurants. Overall, great value for money.

It's messy around facilities but shops are cheaper then in center

Practically everything in the apartments met our expectations. One has to bear in mind, though, that to get to the metro at the Taksim square one has to go up the hill, this is of course, not the apartment's fault, but I think it might be an important bit of information. Also, as stated on the apartements booking page, floor 4 does not have access to the elevator, but you can use it to get to floor 3, so it is ok.

The room was quite spacious, there were all things necessary available. We had accesss to the terrace, the table there was oldish, but it was still nice to drink tea and beers there in the evenings. Wifi was working well. When we closed the window it was enough to keep the street noise out. The apartements' staff was polite and helpful. The rooms are cleaned regularly.

You really can’t complain for the value, However the area is a bit “downtown” there are some interesting beggars and a lot of trash in the area, but that isn’t the hotels fault- just the neighbourhood.

The location was close to the CBD, maximum 10 minute walk. The staff was very friendly and the accommodation was great value for location & amenities (stove top, fridge, ect). There is a supermarket around the corner, so you can easily save money on food. I’m a solo young female traveler and a felt safe staying there.

Very good value for money.

The lack of hot (or even warm) water for the shower. The washbasin hot tap worked perfectly but unfortunately there seems to be an issue with this same hot water piping through to the shower. Of minor importance but worth mentioning: The nearest mosque is close by and therefore you definitely notice the call to morning prayer.

The value for money is unbeatable, especially considering how expensive Istanbul has become. The location is very handy. Although as other reviewers have mentioned it’s in a neighbourhood with considerably steep hills (not an issue for us), and first impressions can be a bit “back alley” but we soon realised that the area is very safe. The room was very clean and there was a daily “tidy up”. The double bed was big and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful (despite us not having a language in common).

The walk up the hill is just for a few hundred meters but quite steep and exhausting.

The attention to detail for the property is great, from the get go you'll notice staff is putting in effort to make your stay worthwhile. Extra kudos to Mustafa from reception for putting in hard yards and making sure our stay is as comfortable as possible.

Only one thing would be for the room to have a toaster and microwave

Nice quiet location, but just a short walk to Taksim and İstiklal Avenue. Spacious room with small balcony, although not a great view was still nice to have. Kitchenette was fine and we used the hot plate, kettle and fridge. Shower very good, lots of hot water. Comfortable bed. The staff are great! Mustafa was especially helpful and kind. He checked us in when we arrived at 1.30am. He also helped by printing some travel documents for us. All in all, a good stay.

The location is below a slope from Taksim Square. When heading there, it's quite nice, but when heading out, you'll need to climb the slope. Not too big of a problem if you travel light, but if you carry a lot of suitcases, you might want to consider taking a taxi when leaving.

It was a nice place with sufficient room size. The staff was friendly, and put on effort to communicate and with the help The location near Taksim is quite strategic since it's near to many public transport access.

As I said. Only a small problem with warm water.

It's very close to Taksim Square. I didn't have any kind of problem. A little bit with warm water, sometimes it's hard to set it up. But everything else was good for me.

Good location, Taxim square and Istiklal street in 600m. Good personnel, helpful, were responding fast to all requests. We asked to order the taxi, but taxist didn't came in time. We had a bus to Bulgaria and need to go to the Otogar, and owner sent his son to drive their own car and he delivered us to the bus timely. Thanks a lots!
