Guest Reviews

• Samantha (1/5): Never stay here - Hard to find. When I arrived at the hotel it was all closed down. The hotel had cancelled my booking as I was flying to Turkey, after confirming the booking the day before. The area was not nice and the entrance to the hotel was dangerous
• Victoria (1/5): Scammers - Nothing They stole our money. When we arrived, the hotel did not give us accommodation, although we had already paid for it. The building is in terrible condition.
• Alin (6/5): Pleasant - No very clean Not clean and not same same like in the picture
• Pamela (4/5): Disappointing -
• Andrei (10/5): Exceptional - Great reception Funny people at the hotel Easy to sleep since quite street but close to Taksim
• Salah (5/5): Passable -
• A171 (9/5): Superb -
• Vincenzo (8/5): Very good -
• Elsa (1/5): Stay away from this very dirty aparthotel - Nothing Very filthy apartment, moldy bathroom, kitchen and very dusty everywhere. And our teenager got bed bug bites after sleeping there for one night. There is a combined sewage and nicotine smell in the entire apartment. We left after a night of stay in the apartment though booked it for 7 nights. Extremely unhabitable for human.s. We demanded a refund but never replied to our messages.
• Mohammed (4/5): Disappointing -
• Zeinab (3/5): Poor -
• Florent (9/5): Superb -
• Borut (9/5): An excellent choice if you want to experience more of the authentic local culture and lifestyle! - This hotel was in a great location, just a short walk down the hill from the main metro station. The surrounding neighborhood had a lively, local vibe with plenty of small markets, restaurants, and shops nearby that were open late. As the apartment is situated on a hill, it may not be the best option for those who don't enjoy walking, but the tradeoff is that it feels hidden away from the main tourist areas. The host was incredibly hospitable and friendly - a pleasure to interact with. The room itself was well-equipped, with air conditioning to help beat the heat and a mini-fridge to keep drinks cool. While basic, it had everything we needed for our short stay in Istanbul. The bathroom was quite small, which could be an issue for some. Additionally, the fridge in the room was a bit dirty, which was a minor annoyance.
• Saqib (6/5): Pleasant - The property is nearby to taksim square, hardly 250ms but got steep slopes. Steep slopes. Not recommended for families
• Alin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Guilherme (6/5): It is okay. - The location is great, near Taksim. The staff seems to be helpful. The AC was good. Cleaning, we've checked on top of the wardrobe and was completely dusty and lacked cleaning in the bathroom, especially in the drainer that was broken and dirty. We advised the property hours before to get in Istanbul that we would make late check-in, which has been accepted. No one was at the property back that time and had notified Booking.com that we missed out to show up at the apart hotel. Furthermore, the bed was broken and seemed to be a hole in the hotel. I just couldn't do anything else, as I was so ill that stayed all day long sleeping in the bedroom.
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Sofo (7/5): It is not bad for those who want to be in the center at a budget price. - I liked staff, they was helpful and friendly, in kitchen always can drink free coffee or tea, and property was in a good location Small hand washing, The water in the toilet does not flow well ,no view from the window, only the neighbor's wall 😅
• Maha (7/5): Good -
• Muhammed (7/5): Good -
• Tamara (1/5): Bad -
• Mimi (7/5): A wonderful experience in a natural real Istanbul - Clean and comfortable hotel. Top location - in a few minutes' walk to Taksim Square and the main street, with convenient transport links. At the same time, it is located in an authentic area with a local flavor. If you are looking for a really luxurious hotel - this is not the place for you. But if you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of real Istanbul - do not hesitate. Our host was an incredibly kind and helpful young man who catered to our every whim. He guided us precisely and correctly, took us personally to certain places. Speechless! In the morning, he offered us local warm burek, although the breakfast was not part of the offer. And at other times he offered us wonderful black tea, water and other drinks. As I already said if you are looking for a really luxurious hotel - this place is not for you. The hotel is not new and needs some light renovations in certain places which may become a problem during a longer stay.
• Ali (6/5): Pleasant - Umut was a nice guy and very helpful.
• Aiva (7/5): Nice stay - Hotel was in good location, helpful staff, welcome Coffee... All was fine, just water in WC could work better...
• Maria (9/5): Would absolutely recommend! -
• Maria (9/5): Very friendly, helpful and welcoming hotel manager! Top price performance ratio. Close to Taksim metro station, taxis an -
• Sami (10/5): Exceptional - It was nice stayed
• Alan (1/5): Dreadful, avoid this property - The staff were polite and friendly, however, they said they were going to resolve issues and then did nothing. Good Wi-Fi The location was in a very rundown area. Three taxi drivers told us that they felt it was unsafe. We didn’t have any issues but some people may be intimidated. The first room had electrical wires hanging from holes in the wall, the toilet did not flush. We were told we were going to move rooms but a replacement was not made available until the following night after chasing up the staff. Had to hassle them for basics like toilet paper several times before it arrived. There is NO 24 hour front desk. You are lucky if you see any staff.
• Irina (8/5): Excellent value for money, good enough to have an authentic experience in Istanbul. - Very friendly staff, close to public transportation and walking distance to Taksim Square, clean room, comfortable bed. Nothing to complain about.
• Fidan (1/5): Bad - Very bad condition. Im was upset when I saw the apartment and the room very dirty. There was nobody to ask something or try to learn. Mornings I dont know where was the guide or receptionist. Nobody did check inn or check out. The street was too loud and dirty. and the road was very unexpected. Road goes up the hill after one day going up to the main street the muscles will start to hurt. The room was not the same room that you see on picture!
• David (8/5): Well located small 2 bed apartment, one flight of steps, near to Taksim square, shops & restaurants. - Excellent location close Taksim Square. Close to cafes, sights & transport. n/a
• Nader (6/5): Pleasant - The bed was comfortable and clean. the bathroom was clean. The facilities were not the same as the photos on booking.com. As my picture shows electric kettle and dining area don't exist. There is a steep downhill on the way to Taksim Square. There were no bathroom slippers. There was no liquid soap. There was a long hair in a towel. There was a smell of cigarettes.
• Alvaro (1/5): Disappointing Stay: Beware of Hidden Single Bed and Unprofessional Reception - Not much, the location and cleanliness weren't bad at all. Avoid staying here if you need two separate rooms. The single bed is located within the broom closet, next to a noisy water heater. Since it's essentially a room within another room, you have to pass through it to access the bathroom. When I brought up the lack of toilet paper to the receptionist, he rudely suggested I could leave for another hotel. To make matters worse, he cancelled my reservation in the middle of the night to prevent me from leaving a review (thanks to Booking.com's customer service for reinstating it).
• Shikha (5/5): Passable - Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. feels like no restriction on anything kids went up and down without hesitation safe. sometimes staff is not available when needed AC not working cleaning was not appropriate
• Ivaylo (9/5): Its okay. - Its okay. The shower tube is too short and a bit damaged. And I took a shower by sitting.
• Sadiq (10/5): I stay here for 9 days very clean Apartments and all the facilities available and great location - Good location
• Mohsum (7/5): Good -
• Diko (5/5): Passable -
• Aleksandr (10/5): Amazing hotel at the city centre. - Very convenient location close to Taksim square with the all the transportation by hand. Very nice and cosy hotel with an amazing host who made you feel like at home and let me check in at 11:00 instead of the standard time which really made my day since I got to the property straight after 8 hour flight. At the day of the check out the host treated me to a couple cups of nice tea and we had a really nice chat.
• Katerina (5/5): Passable - The hotel was average, it had a comfortable room with a clean bathroom. It is near taxim square in the city center. The staff was very friendly and willing to help us with everything we asked. All in all, a value for money place for a short visit in the city center. The neighborhood seemed really poor and downgraded and you have to climb a steep road to the central road which is a little exhausting. There was a crack on the wall due to humidity and the hotel could benefit from a renovation.
• Mesut (1/5): I arrived at the hotel, and when I opened the door the hotel was dirty just like there No one had stayed in over a year - it is centrally located. it is very difficult to get to the hotel, as the roads are very narrow and steep. also the surrounding area of ​​the hotel is very dirty
• Ayman (5/5): Passable -
• Belhassane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pelayo1486 (6/5): Bare minimum - It was just a decent stay. Close to a lot of restaurants and main shopping street. The location was great but it's very hilly. I mean super steep hills. There is no lift, no one ever in reception. My toilet was loose, had no hot water on the last day...the main light wasn't working they said they would fix it the next day...I was there 4 nights and nothing. The heating was barely and it wasn't very warm in Istanbul while I was there. Chair was broken. No toilet paper, which is a basic for a hotel... I also think the pictures are misleading. I think the place just needs more TLC.
• Zoran (3/5): Poor - The host, who waited for us in front of the building, left a very good impression. He made coffee and tea. It's good that Taksim is very close. Just a few minutes. But.. The neighborhood is desperate, dirty and messy. The neighborhood stinks. The streets are very steep. Everything is dirty and messy among the buildings. In the apartments, the bed and the toilet bowl creak and rock. The curtains are half torn. The refrigerator is dirty and cannot be used. There are dust deposits under the bed. In front of the apartment in the basement there was always water coming out of the washing machine. It is there as a pantry. Absolutely this facility does not deserve a high rating. Only the hospitality of the host left a positive impression and the good air conditioning of the rooms.
• Kosar (10/5): we had a great time. - we got a free room upgrade so it was fantastic. rooms were very spaciuos and clean. staff was very helpful. there is no elevator. location is good and close to taksim however the neighberhood is really hard to walk specially with luggages.
• Tihomir (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location! Very friendly and helpful host.
• Syed (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, Umut and Gulshan are the best guests ever! Clean rooms, clean toilets, toiletries available. Free tea and coffee!
• Rika (9/5): Superb -
• Omarlsherif (6/5): Pleasant - The host was very helpful Clean room The neighborhood, very quiet at night but still safe Alot of ramps to reach the hotel Gas Heater was on my room, so every time any one washes his/her hand i wake up! No Safe
• Ammad (10/5): Exceptional - Location, it is really close to Taksim. The manager is the best. He will guide you and help you with everything you need.
• Susan (3/5): Poor - Great location The room smelled like cigarette smoke. There were always people in the office smoking and it came directly up into our room.
• Tereskina (9/5): My trip was very short for few days. Owner of the apartments was very kind . Helpful. Had a small issue which was solved - Very nice and clean.Quiet.good location. All good.
• Artemios (10/5): Very nice experience, highly recommended - All the stuf was super helpful, very kind. The room was exactly what I needed. Strongly recommended
• Sergey (5/5): Passable -
• Mohammed (3/5): Poor -
• Offca4 (8/5): Good value for money and great location - Very friendly and helpful staff The location - central and near Taksim square The shower was slightly blocked and at the beginning there was no hot water but it was immediately taken care of
• Randa (1/5): DON‘T BOOK THIS HOTEL!!! IT‘S ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT!!! - NOTHING! The rooms are very dirty and moldy, we were smelling mold the whole time. Everything in the room is broken. I needed to shower in another room, because the water was very cold and the shower was very dirty with pee. The receptionist Umut was very disorganized and didn‘t take care of us at the checkout, where we needed his help and called him on the phone, he didn‘t answer and didn‘t care at all. Everything was broken and disorganized, we had so many issues with this hotel. I don‘t recommend you to stay here, it‘s absolutely not worth the stress you will endure by staying there. All I can say is - NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE GUESTS IN THIS HOTEL!
• Elene (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - The menager of the hotel was very nice man. He help us for everything. hotel is clean.
• Christos (6/5): Fair hotel which under very cheap repair could be reviewed with much higher ranking - Very spacious and quiet room. Hotel staff (possibly was also the owner) very helpful and nice behavioured Shower hose with a big hole, missing all the water from the side (a 3 euros-to repair stuff), bathroom sink with heavy leakage underside, in the morning I was listening from above the brand-new room's roof light and many steps, for sure by mice (!)
• Bilal (6/5): Pleasant - all is ok location is bad for me but the price is very good. Ortherwise, it would have been much more expensive
• Mohammad (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is very clean and tide there is everything in the apartment, very close to the taksim and the service was good
• Karim (9/5): Superb - Staff were nice. Family treatment, easy going. Spacious room, good bed, nice kitchen It could have done with more cleanliness
• Adam (10/5): Exceptional - An ideal place if you are looking for accommodation near Taksim Square. Clean and comfortable. Extremely hospitable hosts - you can always count on a cup of tea or coffee. Nothing
• Ketan (10/5): Exceptional - It was a very nice experience staying at Istanblue Taksim Apart Hotel. Umut, the person at reception was very helpful and friendly. He made sure for our comfort during our stay. He informed us to feel like it's your home. There was nothing of a bad experience we had during our stay.
• Bizri (10/5): Exceptional - Treatment and the service is very excellent
• Txema (10/5): Memorable - As an experienced traveler, I do know how to distinguish between a 400€/night hotel and a really local and friendly environment which is gonna allow me to better understand the culture and the people in Turkey. This place is cheap and gives you a whole new experience. The Boss is awesome. Really. A good friend always aware of our needs and with a lot of details that made my stay memorable. Very good location and good food around the hotel. You can easily call a taxi if you don’t feel like walking uphill when leaving the place. Thanks!! We’ll come back! The tea was too hot ;) just kidding. Nothing to complain about

When I checked in he invited me to have tea together and reminded me to relax after a long day of travel which was very nice and set the tone for my trip. Umut helped organise airport transfers (to both European and Asian airports) at a very reasonable price and was always there to assist or provide any help which was much appreciated as a solo female traveller. The hotel is located a quick and easy walk from Taksim square and the room was clean and spacious. You will feel well looked after and in the company of a very friendly and hospitable local.
