Guest Reviews

• Nigora (10/5): - Близость к Таксим и Истикляль. Тихо после шумных улиц Стамбула. Хозяин отеля на связи. Всегда готов помочь. При заселении мы звонили хозяину, он мигом примчал. Вход в отель рядом с овощным магазином (фото прикрепила). Ресепшена в отеле нет. В номере все как на картинке. Лифта тоже. Первый этаж - это два пролета лестниц. Мы вернемся еще!!! Спасибо!!!
• Dita (10/5): -
• Amer (10/5): -
• ali (10/5): -
• Milo (6/5): -
• Heike (8/5): -
• Ingrid (4/5): Nice location but cleaning needs to improve and there are repairs that need to get done, especially in the bathroom! - The location was good and easy to get around! It was not clean, the third night we found a cockroach in the room. Also the owner tried to scam us on our second night about a supposedly guest who could not get inside the property because we locked a door to our room that we were never told not to look and so this guest had to stay at a hotel where the owner wanted us to pick up the bill. We also asked for toilet paper and never received it!
• Darko (6/5): Avarege, the best is that you are close to Taksim square - Good location The balcony was not clean. Hairdryer wasn't working, manager bring us another the other day, untill then we must go to the outside hair saloons, luckly they work till 2 am.
• Muhanad (8/5): Nice budget friendly but very noisy - Great central location. The apartment is a good size for a short stay — clean, renovated, and just like the photos. Check-in and checkout were smooth, and the staff were friendly and quick to respond. The apartment wasn’t thoroughly cleaned — I kept finding long hairs everywhere. The toiletries were very basic and there wasn’t enough toilet paper, though they did bring more when I asked. The biggest issue, though, was the noise. Every night around midnight, a group of guys would hang out right below the apartment, talking and laughing until 4 or 5 AM. Some of the businesses downstairs are open 24/7, which seems to encourage that. It was really frustrating and made it hard to sleep, even with earplugs — the walls and windows are paper thin. It would’ve been nice to have a microwave too. I understand there’s no daily housekeeping, but at least leaving some extra coffee and tea in the hallway would help. Also, there’s no smoke detector in the room, which is a safety concern.
• Lee (9/5): Superb -
• Noor (10/5): Im happy! - Amazing property, good location and receive 100% assistance from the team. All went well. If you can add a work-desk with chair, that would be helpful for business traveler :)

• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional - The location is in an area convenient for reaching shops and restaurants. The host Is very generous, kind, always attentive to suggest us itineraries and places and to help us ( for exemple to call a taxi).
• Alex (9/5): Good value for money! - The guests are very nice and willing to help with everything. Is situated in a safe area, very artsy. The room had a strong smell of cigarettes.

• Vitor (7/5): Good -
• Andreas (5/5): Passable - Ok Safe box wasn't fixed and battery was dead. Toilet seat not fixed and fell off. Table outside was very low. There was no cooking device when we arrived. We complained these things and over the days the owner of the hotel fixed it. But everything should have been ok on arrival, you shouldn't have to ask for it.

• Nouha (10/5): Exceptional - Calm, clean and great location Nothing
• Andreea (10/5): Pet friendly, homey place. - Lovely place in Taksim Square, if you're looking for a quiet place to rest and enjoy, at a reasonable price, this is the place for you. Loved the transparency (what they show in the pictures is exactly how the rooms are) and how helpful and forward they have been. We were able to check-in early and even stay a bit after check-out hours (there was no immediate booking that day), at no extra fee. Very helpful and forward, from luggage to transportation if you need; cleaning can be done on request. The host is always on touch and you can ask them for anything. The biggest plus is they are NO smoking and pet friendly. We could stay over with a budgie. Last but not least, lots of good connections to the city, touristic attractions around the area, lots of places to eat out and buy souvenirs within a few meters walk. Everything was good, we have no complaints. :)
• El (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was great to deal with. The room was clean with everything that we needed. And the location is ideal, a few minutes away from Taksim square.
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional - The place is very comfortable, and it has all what we need for our stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, Abdulselam was always there to help at anytime he made our stay very pleasant.
• Sara (9/5): Great location, the place was clean with nice balcony. Also, the staff were very friendly and helpful. - It was clean and quiet, also the air conditioner was good.
• Rida (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Istanbul - We had a great stay at this hotel. The location is central and perfect, close to everything and a few steps from Taksim and Istiklal street. The street is very quiet and there is a supermarket right next door and restaurants downstairs. The room was clean and relaxing, practical shower, very comfortable bedding and top WIFI. The host was responsive and attentive. I highly recommend this small hotel to anyone who wants to stay in a quiet place and close to everything. We will definitely come back. Everything was perfect.
• Ali (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is outstanding, with spacious, impeccably clean rooms. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful and provided us with all the necessary information about Istanbul. The hotel's location is ideal, being close to major attractions and public transportation. Additionally, there are popular restaurants, a bakery, and a supermarket nearby for quick shopping and fresh fruit.
• Muhanad (10/5): Fantastic stay, affordable, centrally located - I recently stayed at this wonderful studio apartment near Taksim Square and had an incredible experience. The owner was super nice, friendly, and accommodating throughout my entire stay. He was always available to answer any questions I had, which made me feel very welcome and at ease. The studio apartment itself was modern, clean, and well-maintained. It had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect – just a short walk to Taksim Square, making it easy to explore the city. Overall, I found this place to be a great deal. It was affordable, centrally located, and offered excellent value for money. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area! Nothing
• Tania (10/5): - Nice property, just minutes walking to Istiklal st and near Taksim Metro Station, many restaurants and stores in the area, there is a little market downstairs of the hotel, very convenient. There is a small refrigerator in the room . I recommend this place for your visit to Turkey
• Kimberley (10/5): clean, comfy, cozy - close to taksim - everything was very good! clean, comfy, cozy, close to taksim square! we had towels, soap, shampoo, kettle, Nescafé, fridge, safe, fast wifi, good cold ac, table, couch, hot water, supermarket just next door with tasty peaches and cherrys. hotel owner allways helpful and nice! we would come again :) ac for us bit too cold
• Mahmoud (10/5): Exceptional -
• Muhammad (10/5): Awesome. Will repeat. - The room is very clean. Location is very strategic and just a few minutes walk to Taksim Square with a lot of transportation options to get to Karakoy, Sultanahmet. The host is very helpful throughout the whole visit. N/A
• Yixin (10/5): Nice stay - The room is same as the picture. Clean and tidy. The host is very friendly. Not easy to find the location
• Lewis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Terry (9/5): Superb - The room was nicely spacious, including a fridge and an outside patio area. Located close to Taksim Square and all the transport options it has to offer. The only downside is that if you go left when leaving the hotel you end in further in Tarlabasi, which is quite run down.
• Thomas (9/5): Friendly hotel near Taksim square - Actually we were transferred to a nearby hotel and we got the top room of the building. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff is super friendly and was always available to help with any small issues that we needed assistance with. The neighborhood has some small markets and local restaurants around. The main square and road of Taksim are around 5 minutes walking away. The wifi was disconnecting sometimes, but nothing serious.
• Bilal (9/5): Good hotel, however I wouldn't stay in Istanbul again - The hotel owner was fantastic, very responsive and nice to talk to. He offered several suggestions of where to go and it was great knowledge. The hotel room was very clean. Cleaning is offered daily by just letting the owner know (we didn't use this). The double Bed was huge and fits me, my wife and my 2yr old. Very home type of vibes. The hotel has a shop next door which is open 24 hours a day so is very very convenient to buy anything you need. A great plus for this hotel is that Taksim metro is 5 minutes away (walking) and is a great way to travel. We initially used the trains from taksim metro, but later realised the tram is more convenient. You want to use the t1 tram route to get to all the popular places and this route begins at kabatas, not taksim. So to get from taksim to kabatas, take the F1 funicular tram (it's only a 3-4 minutes ride) and then you can take the t1 tram from kabatas and stop off at pretty much every popular location there is. It's really really easy. There is even a lift in taksim square that takes you direct to the funicular area to get to kabatas so this makes it so much easier than going through the whole of taksim metro. Make sure you buy an istanbulkart (yellow machines at the metro station) because then it'll cost about 50p to travel per person per tram, regardless of which stop you're planning to stop at. You can top up at any yellow machine as and when you need it. Hotel was great, no issues. If you are definitely visiting Istanbul and want to stay in taksim, stay at this hotel. Following is regarding istanbul for anyone who hasn't been before. Personally I didn't like Istanbul. Its very busy and Everything (especially in the taksim area) is super expensive and you see tourist prices everywhere. It feels the entire city is specifically built to take as much money as possible from tourists. For example the very cheapest meals I found were around £10 per person (counting soft drinks) and very often we found ourselves paying £20-£25 per person. Another example is a water bottle in taksim is sold at 25lira everywhere whereas when we went to Cappadocia and visited a local shop , the exact same bottle was 5lira (which is the real price of water). I personally would not visit Istanbul again at all, if I want an expensive busy city I'll just stay in the UK. I didn't find taksim to be very appealing, I would maybe recommend a half day stay here (though I didn't visit for the clubs so I don't know what the club scene is like). I would recommend visiting other parts of turkey instead , the areas are very beautiful and you can stay like kings as everyday things are cheaper.
• Anthony (6/5): I wanted to like this place but… I would not stay again. - Great location. 24 hour shop underneath. Quiet room. - I arrived in evening and I saw the reception man using my room’s toilet, despite him denying this. Unacceptable. - Poor maintenance. Toilet seat was coming off, towel hanger falling off, mirror very badly cracked, sink and mug dirty. - Sheets rather warn, and a long hair on them. - Biggest issue was, despite repeated promises, and even a response here on Booking.Com, I was unable to leave my bags at reception when departing. He said it was because he had to go to hospital. It meant I could not do a planned activity in the last couple of hours of my stay and just stayed in the room to do some work instead.
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - I am completely satisfied with my stay in La Vitrine apartments for one week. A few minutes' walk from Taksim Square, many shops and markets are nearby. I had a comfortable and clean room with large windows. The owner is very friendly and open to help if necessary, you can agree on early check-in or late check-out if the room is available. Cleaning in the rooms on demand, if something is not right, quietly let the owner know about it, the cleaning team will quickly solve the problems. Discounts are available for Ukrainians affected by the war, so contact the owner for details. Thank you again for making my trip even more comfortable
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shane (10/5): Exceptional - Nice modern hotel! Great value for the money!!!! Owner was great! Their is a market shop under hotel which was very convenient for quick snacks and whatever you need. One block away are the very high end shopping areas and Taksim Square and the public transport is 5 minutes walking distance.
• Valentino (10/5): Exceptional - It was fantastic, good location and everyone is very kind. also very clean.
• Vadim (9/5): Pleasant stay - The host has made every effort possible to make our stay perfect. He promptly addressed a few issues we had and even gave us a ride to the bus station on our last day. Thanks a lot! Comfortable beds, sufficient space. Great value for the money we paid. The location is very convenient; the airport buses and the main city attractions are within reach. Convenient supermarket downstairs. Would definitely consider it for my next visits to the city. A cold bathroom is not really pleasant in winter.
• Mohammed (10/5): Believe me, it's worth a try - The hotel is wonderful, its location is excellent, the receptionist and the hotel owner are very respectful and kind. I advise everyone to go or even stay there Nothing
• Jasmin (10/5): Fenomenalno - Lokacija je odlicna, par minuta pjeske od glavne ulice u Istanbulu. Odusevljeni smo kupatilom i uredjenoscu i cistocom sobe. U sobi je tiho i ugodno, a madraci i jastuci sto nam je posebno bilo drago su kao sa smo spavali na oblaku. Jedan od najboljih smjestaja u kojem smo bili u Istanbulu uzimajuci u obzir cijenu / kvalitet. Svaka preporuka.
• Omar (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was good. Abdusalem was very nice with us Nothing
• Tamara (2/5): Never coming back. - The location was very good, really close to Taksim square and metro and bus stations. The location was the only good thing about this hotel. The staff was friendly. The good thing was that we had the possibility of taking towels, toilet paper and cleaning equipment ourselves. When we walked into the room, the room was pretty small but that was not the biggest issue. When we got into the room, the power was out and that continued almost the whole stay which caused problems for us because we could not use the Wi-Fi nor charge our phones. It was not caused by the property but by the government but still it affected our stay. Looking further into the room, we discovered many problems. We reserved a room for 3 persons but the extra bed for the third person was just a mattress on the carpet in a small nook next to the double bed. All 3 of us ended up sleeping on the same bed since we were disgusted to sleep on the floor knowing how dirty the room was. The room was really dirty and we mentioned that to the owner but he neglected our issue. We did not want to make any problems so we just asked for the cleaning equipment and we cleaned it ourselves. We took photos of the room so you can see it for yourselves. We are very sad to make such a negative review but we just want to let others know.
• M (10/5): A wonderful and quiet place - Great hotel. The place is quiet and comfortable There is everything you need on the same street, including restaurants and a market It is located in the city center and only 100 meters from the famous Taksim Square. Many thanks to Mr.abdulselam For hosting . Nothing
• Welbeck (8/5): Very good -
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Victoria (10/5): Well situated. - The hotel is well-situated, close to public transport and taxis. There are many restaurants, cafés, exchange money agencies etc. Abdulselam was very attentive and even escorted us to the Tansik metro train station and gave us helpful information. None.
• Mancini (10/5): Exceptional - Considering the lowest price you can find in istanbul... The room and position was very cool and central .
• Leggett (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and quiet I don't think there was anything Only thing I could say there is no lift but no problems for me AAA
• Hassan (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place One of the most important thing the hospitality of Abdelsalam and Murad They were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable The room was clean and bright Thank you so much I recommend this lovely hotel la vitrine
• Samundra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chakib (10/5): Excellent experience. - The location, the cleaniness very quiet. Comfortable beds and the most important thing is the hospitality of Abdulsalam and Murat. They were very helpful and attentive. We felt like being in our own home. Every thing was perfect for us from the first day to the last one.
• Gregor (4/5): Very disappointing experience all around due to a room so dirty that I only felt comfortable staying one night of my fou - The balcony was nice and bed was comfortable. General lack of cleanliness, bedsheets that wreaked of body odor, dirty towels, broken mirrors, toilet seats that fell off, incredibly weak air conditioning, refrigerator with ice dripping all over the inside so it was soaked, and terrible wifi.
• Dr.maha (9/5): Superb - Very friendly & helpful staff,, even gave us advises about istanbul & our tour in turkey,, we felt very comfortable dealing with them. The A/C was working well, odourless😊 Also the whole room was tidy, smelling nice... Bath room and towels were clean, with shampoos, soap, conditioner. Location was very near to Taksim square and istiklal street....even it was away from the noise there...we slept well😊 Our room was at 3rd floor....no elevator
• Mouaz (10/5): Amazing stay, will be back again - Hotel is more than wonderful..everything is special..they speak Arabic and English fluently. Their treatment was very kind .. The place is unique and there are all shops and restaurants close to the hotel .. It is only 150 meters from Taksim Square nothing
