İstanbul Dora Hotel ★★★★
"Nice hotel and room, but breakfast its not better,"
Edition Old City Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel's location is unbeatable; it's right across from the LRT station, making it super convenient to get to all the attractions. You can even walk to the Grand Bazaar. There are also plenty of dining options nearby. Just a heads-up for light sleepers, though, as it might be a bit noisy."
Santa Sophia Hotel - İstanbul ★★★
"The hotel near the sea and have very nice view"
La Fortuna Hotel Taksim
"Decent Hotel for the price and location. I just wished they gave me the balcony room i booked but they said it was under repair and gave me a bigger room instead. Huge thanks to Ali for helping me when i needed help urgently. I'm very grateful to have met him."
Mays Otel
"Overall, it was a good stay. The staff were amazing and could communicate in English very well. The room was clean. The electric kettle was not working, but they replaced it for me as soon as they noticed the issue. The safe was quite large, but unfortunately, my 15.6-inch laptop did not fit inside. I should also mention that the room I was given was different from the one I had booked, and it was in slightly worse condition in terms of appearance. However, since other things were more important to me, it was okay. Overall, I would give it a 3.6 out of 5."
Akka Suites Taksim-Special Class ★★★
"The hotel left me with mixed feelings. On its own, it's genuinely good: spacious and clean rooms, comfortable beds and pillows, daily housekeeping, no issues with shower water, and stable Wi-Fi throughout the property. The staff is very polite and responsive, and there are Russian-speaking employees. When we asked to change rooms, it was done quickly and without any hassle. However, there's one huge drawback that ruined the entire stay. For the first three nights, we stayed in room 1001 on the first floor. Directly beneath the windows is the 'Gagarin' bar, where music and noise continue practically until five in the morning. It was impossible to sleep, even with earplugs. Furthermore, due to its proximity to the reception, everything happening in the corridor was perfectly audible. In the room itself, the toilet was also slightly leaking. After moving to a different building, it became noticeably quieter, but complete silence was still elusive. For those who come for an active vacation and just want a good night's sleep in the evening, this could be a serious problem. The breakfasts are quite decent, but without much variety – a solid 4 out of 5 in my opinion. Overall, I'd rate the hotel a 4 out of 5. It has an excellent location, good rooms, and wonderful staff. But I personally won't return for one reason only: I couldn't get a decent night's sleep here. It's a real shame, because in all other respects, the hotel truly deserves a high rating. The photos only show the bed from the first room, it's definitely half a meter high, very tall and comfortable 😅 and everything else is from the other building, right next to the descent to the dining hall, where all the cooking was perfectly audible from around 6 AM :("
Meyzi Hotel ★★★
Experience effortless airport transit with our dedicated 24-hour shuttle service, located just minutes from Istanbul Airport for a seamless and stress-free travel connection.
Chambers of the Boheme ★★★
"A terrible hostel. Everything is noisy: the furniture, the windows, the stairs—you can hear every step, a terrible creaking. The bed is on the second bunk; there are no outlets nearby, no curtain either—no way to block out the light. Towels are not provided. Guests come at all hours, and they didn't let me sleep all night: drunk, noisy, one after another. You can hear every word. The entrance is a complete circus. There's a "Call" sign on the hostel door. How can I call if there's no internet and no bell? I tried, but no one answered. A random girl let me in with her chip. I absolutely do not recommend it. A waste of money."
DNZ Taksim Feridiye Hotel ★★★
"It was in a wonderful and beautiful location, especially with its 24-hour reception service and late check-in option. The room was clean, and the surroundings were very nice and safe."

Galley Hotel
"Amazing hotel and very good rooms. The room staff was excellent and very helpful. The access to metro and tram is too easy. I giving recommend this hotel for stay in Istanbul. Specially for couples with a child. The staff is supportive and guide you in every possible way."
DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul - Moda
"Its a d3cent stay, came in for one night as a transition to Sabnca. The place does the job"
Triada Hotel Taksim - Special Category
"Location, breakfast and room was good but TV not working at the room I called the reception but didn't fix it"
Golden Age Hotel Taksim
"This was a convenient option for a one-night stay. We chose it specifically for its proximity to the airport shuttles and metro, and we weren't disappointed. Location 10/10! However, we wouldn't have wanted to stay more than one night in our room category. Besides the location, the comfortable beds were a plus. And that's pretty much it. Despite booking an "improved room," the room was in rather poor condition – bad lighting, the bathroom didn't feel clean, scratched furniture, dirty walls and carpet, and a dirty kettle (it would be good to clean or replace it). It wasn't very pleasant to be in the room. It was extremely noisy! There was absolutely no soundproofing from the hallway; all the rustling, conversations, and movements felt like they were happening inside our room, not just outside the door. We didn't use any of the hotel's additional services, so I can't comment on them."

The room was clean, hygienic, and tidy. Ozan, the supervisor of the reception staff, was very nice and helpful with a lot of information. I would definitely stay here again next time!"
