Guest Reviews
- Matthew (8/5): A great place for a short trip to Istanbul. Reasonable price, comfortable room and great location. - Great location. Very close to lots of bars and restaurants. Room was comfortable and clean.

Thank you

- Nesrin (8/5): Good value for the cost you pay - I liked the location the most, really close to Beşiktaş square, so in turn also close to the dock/port and a 6 minute bus ride away from Taksim.
The place was good value. You get what you pay for.
And I also liked the staff, they were friendly and helpful. Twice I put the 'please clean my room' card on the door handle, and no one cleaned my room. Later I realized that they clean the rooms upon requests, so you have to tell one of the staff that you want your room cleaned.
This wasn't sometuing I didn't like, but just something that surprised me.
But one tne thing I actually didn't like was the bathroom. My first day here there was this rotten egg smell every time I turned on the light and the ventilation started working. Thankfully, after the first day I didn't notice any smells. The shower takes some time to warm up and the water pressure is bad.
- Christina (7/5): Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Ordnung - Die Lage ist top, Check In um 08.00 Uhr wurde möglich gemacht. Kein Aufzug, Koffer müssen in den dritten Stock geschleppt werden. Toilettenpapier nur nach Nachfrage.
- Tbayshat (10/5): This my second time in this property. The location is perfect. The place is clean. The staff are so friendly and welcomi - The location, the staff, everything was good Nothing
- LAURA (5/5): - Le professionnel présent lors de notre départ. Malgré l’heure (4h du matin), il s’est montré agréable et souriant.
Son collègue, la veille avait été également sympathique lors de notre demande de réservation de taxi.
La localisation de la chambre était parfaite. Nous avons apprécié. Le professionnel présent à notre arrivée n’était pas bavard. Il a à peine dit bonjour et ne nous regardait pas lorsque nous nous adressions à lui.
Le logement était sale et nous avons eu une fuite d’eau importante en plein dans le passage pour aller dans la salle de bain. L’utilisation de la douche n’était pas simple, l’eau chaude arrivée difficilement.
- Marcel (8/5): - Staff and location are a plus Could be more clean
- Ali (4/5): -
- Atlihan Onat (10/5): -
- Vadim (10/5): Would definitely come again! - Puffin is my all-time go-to hotel when I'm visiting Istanbul to go to a concert or other event.
- Nehal Mohamed Mahmoud (7/5): -
- Felix (6/5): Wer Wert auf Sauberkeit legt und auch mal seine Ruhe möchte ist hier falsch. - War sehr zentral gelegen, nettes Personal Auf den ersten Blick war alles super. Auf den zweiten schon gar nicht mehr und da weiß ich gar nicht wo ich anfangen soll. Kaputte Toiletten, der Balkon war voller Vogelkot, aus dem Fön kamen Flammen, die Matratzen sind total durchgelegen, kaputter Laminat Boden, schwarzer Schimmel in den duschen
- Kim (8/5): -
- Demir (1/5): - Konumu iyi olmazsa kapısının önünden geçilmez. Çok şey var..
Banyo berbat haldeydi su akıyordu, yatakları kirli, çok aşırı sigara kokuyordu, sivrisinek doluydu.
- Evdo (8/5): -
- Narmin (7/5): -
- Eray (10/5): Amazing - It was amazing. It was very clean from inside Everything was perfect
- Ecem (9/5): -
- Narine (10/5): - Great staff Noisy
- Laska (10/5): -
- Aizhan (7/5): Только расположение - Расположение хорошее! Номер ужасно старый, грязный! Матрас бал вообще волной, невозможно спать. Попросили заменить, заменили-ситуация стала лучше. Очень брезгливо было заходить в душ босыми ногами, под ноги клала пакет. Отель очень сильно нуждается в ремонте.
- Балабаева (9/5): Thank you! - comfortable stay, small but have everything you need nothing
- Murat (8/5): Ideaal als je liefhebber bent van Besiktas. - Hotel is midden in het levendige hart van Besiktas. Ik kom hier altijd terug, als ik een wedstrijd van Besiktas kom bezoeken. Niets.
- Charlotte (7/5): - The staff was all very kind and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. The location is good considered that is it located in the 'breakfast street', so plenty of options for breakfast in the morning, and it's quite in the evening. The walls were not very soundproof, so at times you can hear other people in the building.
- Cansın.u (7/5): - Fiyat/fayda dengesi iyi, konumu cok merkezi, kisa sureli konaklamalar icin ideal. Yan odalardan gelen sesler cok duyuluyor, rahat bir uyku icin kulaklik tavsiye olunur.
- Abu (8/5): Very good -
- Ali (10/5): Loved the Vibe of Puffin and Besiktas! - Excellent stay, excellent location close to everything and open till late! Hidayat Salam, Thank you for such a great stay and All the help in finding my Airpods that were left in the taxi. I was not expecting them back but thanks to the effort I did!
- Pavlos (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptional place to stay with a low budget. Very very clean, with all the necessary in the room. The location is fantastic with everything close by. The staff were amazing! Always willing to help, they gave us extra towels when we asked and were very positive with everything. Because of some protests in the city buses and metros were closed but they helped us book a taxi which was very hard that day. In general the stay was clean, comfortable and efficient. Absolutely WORTH!
- Afruz (1/5): Rude staff, very old hotel, nothing was well - Only location Except of the location
- Bernard (10/5): Exceptional - Good location with friendly and helpful staff
- Nadia (10/5): Great location, easy to go everywhere - The location is great, the breakfast places next door, close to Besiktas iskelesi, a lot of transportation options. The receptions is open 24\7, no issues with the hotel. The room was clean. It was perfect for a short trip. The walls are thin, so you can hear other people, but honestly, that's the case with most 3 hotels, so I don't even consider that a drawback.
- Ma (8/5): Very good -
- Farida (9/5): Highly recommended! The place is in close proximity with main spots of the city, having bus stop nea - Rooms were clean, and the hotel was in close proximity to the main attractions of the city, with a bus stop nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
- Nader (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
- Oku (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dheeman (10/5): Exceptional - Starting from the ambience to the hospitality to the friendships I had to the sharing of music and cultures; this place felt like home away from home. Hidayets daughters adorable art and his smile greeted me when I first stepped in; and the balcony views , fresh tea and cake , exchange of conversations and art made it like a place I knew from years before ! Also the location is the best you can get in entire Istanbul 😍
- Uka (10/5): Exceptional -
- Najmeh.es (10/5): Exceptional - Good treatment of the host and cleanliness of the place No refrigerator in the room. Of course, there was a common refrigerator in the kitchen
- Alessia (7/5): Good -
- Nour (10/5): Great value, I recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul. - Perfect location to explore all of Istanbul. I took a private room with a bathroom. It even had a little balcony overlooking the restaurants and cafes below. Everything was clean, functional, and very tasteful. For the price, I feel that it was a great deal. The bed was very comfortable and room also had AC and noise-proof windows. I wish there had been a mini fridge.
- Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Egemen (8/5): Very good -
- Iulia (5/5): So so - Area.Staff Could be cleaner
Strange smell in the room
Noise
Bugs on the floor ( bathroom)
- Andrey (6/5): Cheap, good location, but not very cozy. - Very good location. The shower is broken, the drain doesn't work, there is no toilet paper, the flooring is worn out. Although, all this is more than normal for a Turkish three-star hotel for 40-50 euros per night. For a short stay - OK. But if you come for several days and not alone, then look for something better.
- Ilker (7/5): Good -
- Diana (8/5): Very good -
- Iman (7/5): Good -
- Sheneil (7/5): Provided almost everything I needed - The location, staff, heating, window, rooftop, size of the room and private bathroom, comfort, storage, security, quietness, and the check in/out process is great. It’s nice that there was shampoo, shower gel, towels and a hair dryer. The ants and lack of decor didn’t bother me as much as the luke warm shower. I had a 12-hr flight and it was all I needed. However, I still had a pleasant stay. For the value, I had a nicer stay in Ortaköy, but I suppose Besiktas is a pricier area. It would probably be better if I shared the room with someone. Also, the hair dryer mostly blew hot air but didn’t actually dry anything.
- Moein (8/5): Very good -
- Natasha (10/5): Exceptional - The street is very quiet for such a busy place. Nice room and staff, great location.
- Natasha (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, nice and comfortable room, shop, restaurants, caffe, juice round the place. There are car parkings at the main street and round.
- Kiryl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vasyl (7/5): Good -
- Martin (9/5): Great location nearby the ferry, bakeries, restaurants. Can be noisy. Friendly Staff. In great shape - Staff - friendly people.
Location - lots of bakeries and restaurants nearby
The ferry stop in Beşiktaş is nearby (10 min) and from there you can go to multiple destinations on the Asian side, including the Burgaz Ada (part of the Prince Islands)
The room - it's great. Clean and looks good. Enough space. Location - it can be a bit noisy for some people. You need to close the balcony door for sure
There is a kitchen and sometimes people might stay after midnight and some light is coming from there into the room (the room and the common kitchen share a a small window). This was not a problem for me, but might a problem for some

- Mehmet (7/5): Good -

- Egemen (3/5): Fair price for a short stay in a really central location. Clean but noisy room. - Perfect location, fair pricing. Paper thin walls, quite noisy for almost 24 hours.
- Sultan (5/5): Passable - location facilities and amenities
- Dilan (7/5): it was a good stay - it was super clean and was at the heart of Besiktas. very nice staff.. bathroom had a hole at the ceiling and water was dripping from there. bathroom ceiling seemed to be moldy

- Dorothea (8/5): Very good - İt was a very nice stay. The room was nice, clean and comfortable and had a good aır conditioner. The rooftop terrace is a nice place to eat and talk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Publıc transport, places to eat and supermarkets are very close by. We enjoyed our stay. The aır condıtıoners outside unfortunately were a bit loud, so sometimes we had trouble to calm down and sleep. But generally it is a quiet place - although it is very central, we could not hear the noises of the city.
- Mohamedsultan97 (9/5): Superb - The staff are super helpful and super friendly, it is so clean and the location is perfect The AC wasn't working for a couple of days but they bought a new one for us.
