Hotels near Downtown Istanbul, Istanbul

I stayed for 3 nights, and they cleaned the room every day, provided plenty of amenities (body wash, shampoo, conditioner), and having a microwave in the room was incredibly convenient. It was also incredibly clean. What I liked most was the cleanliness and the strong water pressure; after a full day of sightseeing, coming back to a warm shower and a good night's sleep really washed away all the fatigue. The location is close to the airport bus stop, and there are many restaurants and a fixed-price supermarket (Migros) nearby. Check-in and check-out were quick, and everyone was very friendly. The housekeeping staff were always bright and kind too. Oh, and there's a cafe or restaurant-like place in the same building, which is great for grabbing toast or pastries in the morning. I'd definitely like to stay here again on my next trip to Istanbul.

Everything about this hotel was fantastic! My only regret is that I only stayed for one night. I highly recommend it to everyone, so go ahead and book your stay!

This hotel is luxurious beautiful. The best one around this area. Everything is clean and exactly like the pictures your have seen. Most importantly their hospitality is one of a kind. They received us warmly since we walked in. I have a cold and he brought me hot herbal tea after already gave us plenty of water.  We are impressed with all services and cleanliness and they view on the 4 th floor is amazing day and night.  We definitely return to this place and give highest recommendation.

Good location Breakfast was good But we stayed for five days, and on the third night they told us there was no reservation. We waited 10 minutes. After that, there was an error in the system. We were very embarrassed.

My second time booking this hotel. Near taksim and istikal street. A bit of walking to the hotel but since it is the end of winter, you don't feel the heat and the road starts busy at 11am onwards. Booked a budget room but got upgraded to a standard room. Thank you! My tips: Take the risk of booking the room near to the travel date (if it is not a peak season) if not opt for refundable booking if you see price change (cheaper) then you have the option to do new booking. Breakfast is almost the same for 2 nights here. But since we are asian, we don't mind the food much. More cheese and healthy version. Room similar as website just that our cupboard is broken. Not sure which shampoo and body soap as the bottle is the same one..

It’s ok for those who is only thinking about sleep at night but nothing else.They moved us from our first existing room to the other small room for an excuse that they will do some work on the room but the very next day or the immediate day we don’t even know there is another guest apparently came.we paid for bigger room but end up in a small bedroom which was not fair.Power plug has no electricity, walls are cracked all the amenity is way too old I feel like I am living in a musium.However I got what I paid for and that’s how I can convince myself.Thank you Turkey and will see u next time.

The hotel is in a dilapidated, sketchy neighbourhood. As a female solo traveller, it feels very scary to travel alone back to the hotel at night, as you will come across groups of men hanging along the street. It’s also ridiculously far from major train stations (15-20 minutes depending on your walking speed) and a lot of uphill climbing, which is a big minus for people who would stay more than 3 nights with more luggage / elderly. My local friend said with this price I could’ve booked a hotel at a more convenient location. The room is clean and has a functional layout. The sound insulation is poor, the first two nights I could hear the neighbour laughing, they were loud but still I had to wear earplugs to sleep. Also traffic noise continued even during late night. The hot water in shower is not very consistent, I had two days of perfectly hot water, and two days of lukewarm water. I was shivering when I went out of the shower. The water tap of the sink is very hard to switch on/off. The sink is big but not much space for putting necessities, which is a bit of an impractical design. As I was travelling alone, they only gave me one room card, which could be inconvenient in some way because if I would like to use the fridge in the room, it would turn off after I left the room. Even though I didn’t use the fridge, it is something to be noticed. I had experience staying in other hotels alone, they always give two cards. While it’s more energy saving this way, it’s inconvenient. The breakfast was alright, just like all other 3/4-star hotel breakfast, there is a variety of food. Staff checked the buffet area quite frequently, and the dining area is comfortable with a lot of light. It also has Turkish tea, which is great. One key event: the door lock was not functioning. After I left the room the second day, I checked if the door is being locked but it didn’t. I was terrified to know that the door lock wasn’t functioning, as I could go inside without a card. I immediately asked the front desk to fix it, and turned out the door lock was just out of battery. However, if I didn’t check the door, my room could’ve been easily broken in. Another thing is after this, I couldn’t find my earrings which were on the table. The coincidence made me think it was a stealing event. While eventually they found them after I checked out and they returned them to me, I could not help but felt frustrated in the meantime as my trust for the hotel was damaged. Despite that might have been just a misunderstanding, the hotel staff, especially Dilan, was very helpful and proactive in handling the event, and she also promised to compensate me, even though they saw no other people entering my room in the surveillance camera and she claimed that no stealing event has happened. Overall, despite all that has happened, I think the hotel is good and quite affordable for a short stay, but there might as well be other better options. l

Location is good. Just few minutes walk from metro station and fews minutes walk to İstiklal Caddes. Night life and shopping just few steps away. Room is in basement. Since we just stay for few hours and leaving early in the morning so it's okay for us.

The hotel's location is truly magnificent; all the main historical sites are close by, within walking distance or a couple of tram stops. The bed linen and the room are clean, and they clean well. The towels definitely need replacing; they're very faded. The room is warm, and there's a refrigerator, kettle, and tea making facilities. There's no toothbrush or toothpaste in the room; bring your own or buy them on site. There's a store 5 meters away where you can buy everything you need. The breakfast is average, but there are no dairy products at all. There are vegetables, cheeses, ham and sausage, eggs, omelets, and various salads. The coffee, which comes from a drip coffee machine, is tasteless. There are buns, bread, and muffins. You can eat your fill, but there's not much for children. I went nearby for burgers for my son. The reception staff is helpful and explain things well. Overall, I'd give it a 4. A few minor improvements would have made it perfect. Overall, if I were to go to the center of Istanbul, I'd definitely go there again.

I chose this hotel for its excellent location, being close to Taksim Square and just off Istiklal Avenue. The room was much cleaner than I expected, and it was great that there was still plenty of space even after opening two suitcases. The shower pressure and temperature were perfect, allowing me to warm up and sleep soundly even during a very cold, rainy winter in Istanbul. The complimentary coffee and chai available in the ground floor cafe were also a huge plus. I'm 99.9% satisfied! My only minor complaint is that the elevator doesn't stop exactly on the floor, so you have to use the stairs for a short bit. However, this wasn't a significant issue.
