Guest Reviews
- mariami (10/5): -
- Delor (9/5): -
- Dmitrii (8/5): - Отель в шаговой доступности от пл. Таксим и пр. Истикляль, причем очень удобно, что доходя от отеля до Истикляля, ты оказываешься в его центре. Хотя шведского стола нет, но подается очень вкусный и разнообразный завтрак. Персонал очень доброжелательный. Того, кто не знает, что такое Тарлабаши, на контрасте с Бейоглу может "удивить" этот район.
- Safri (8/5): Amazing - Breakfast was pretty good. Breakfast buffet could be better, and rooms size slightly bigger.
- Kirill (9/5): -
- Nyamsuren (10/5): -
- Jan-Niklas (10/5): Sehr schönes gutgelegenes Hotel - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und das Zimmer war sehr gut für den Preis Es war alles gut
- Ozer (8/5): Was aangenaam 😄 - Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en heel lekker. Stappen naar Taksim was heel zwaar omdat de straat bergop was.
- Susana (1/5): No lo recomiendo - El personal fue relativamente amable Decidí reservar este hotel por las buenas reseñas de limpieza, al llegar me percaté de que las sábanas tenían manchas, mucha basura bajo la cama, en el baño también habían manchas de moho y lo peor es que había cucarachas en la habitación, fuí a solicitar un cambio de habitación inmediatamente y por suerte tomé una foto, el recepcionista me dijo que no, a pesar de que vio la foto dijo que era el mueble así y le pregunté que entonces por qué se movía?, al final dijo que sí era una cucaracha y que lo único que podía hacer era darme un spray y al día siguiente intentaría cambiarme de habitación, el relleno de las almohadas estaba hecho bolas, súper incómodo, casi no descansé ( habitación 104), al día siguiente me cambió de habitación me dijo que era una habitación comfort, ( 300 y algo ) parecía un poco más limpia, pero el colchón tenía una mancha de quemado y muchas más manchas, y lo mismo en la noche descubrí un insecto en la cama, súper desagradable, tampoco pude descansar, el Peor alojamiento en el que he estado jamás.
- Aylin (10/5): - It was all good and clean and good service
- Łukazz (10/5): - Jedzenie pomocna obsługa
- Mukaddes (7/5): - Vize için orada konaklamıştım daha öncede, bu açıdan konum olarak iyi bir yerde. Personel gayet ilgili. Sabah erken taksi kullandığım için resepsiyonda çalışan ,daha sonra güvenli gidebildigimden emin olmak için beni aradi. Çok teşekkür ediyorum kendisine Buzdolabı gürültülü çalışıyordu, beni rahatsız etti
- Aslan (10/5): -
- EL MEHDI EL GHANDOUR (10/5): - Everything was perfect thank so much for your service. Nothing
- Tofa (10/5): - Очень хорошие люди работают, порядочные и добрые. Помогали со всем. Локация удобная, 5 минут от автобусной стоянки, и 15 от метро. Чисто и уютно.
- Ludmila (4/5): Фото отеля отличаются от реального состояния отеля! - Номер был в очень плохом состоянии (фото прилагаю) и после того как я написала об этом отзыв, отель стал писать мне личные сообщения с претензиями на этот счет! Не понравились пятна на обоях, постельном белье, ржавчина на дверных петлях, поломанный шкаф, не работающий сейф, плохая уборка
- Filomena (7/5): A small Pearl...special thanks to the team - Very warm welcome. Baris, Rezan, Usama, Borivan and Sait have been always kind and available. Any question, these guys have been ready with answer and good advice about restaurants and places to visit. Missing you all and wishing you all the best. Missing the elevator... But the guys helped us with out heavy luggages.
- Aisulu (7/5): -
- Aksuirik (9/5): - Мы решили прийти туда через гугл карты и попали в неблагополучный район . Пока шли кидали камни и кроссовки сверху. Было страшно идти. Нам рассказали что в этот район даже полицейские не приезжают
- Bilal (9/5): Good Comfortable Stay at a reasonable price. - Nice and clean hotel near the centre. Cleanliness was very good. Comfortable beds and fully equiped with TV and entertainment. Local shops are nearby and open till late. Toiletries were provided and good hot and cold water with instant flow. Breakfast was limited but good selection, Tea and coffee facilities were provided. The only down side I came across, you have to walk a bit to get the local transport. There is a steep hill to clim or if you go the opposite way then you get the bus. Otherwise taxis are available all the time.

Great location, close to public transport, restaurants, and shops.

Fast Wi-Fi, good facilities, and a quiet atmosphere. Nothing

- Vitali (6/5): В целом за свои деньги -нормально , если б не ребята работающие там , впечатления были б гораздо хуже . - Самый дружелюбный и приветливый персонал , всегда были готовы помочь , очень вежливы и добры ! Вернулись бы только из-за них . Очень шумно , ремонт устаревший , все подрано и скрипит , душ течет во все стороны . весь пол из-за этого залит водой .

Nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter

- Daria (5/5): На момент брони было указано, что завтрак входит в стоимость, по приезду и на букинге и в отеле сообщили что завтрак не - Не советую. На фото отель выставил рендеры, в действительности вся мебель, ковролин, сантехника, вообще все старое, ржавое, в пятнах. Те, кто ставят этому отелю оценку 8 из 10, видимо в нем не жили Шкаф расходится, полки просто сложены внизу, сейф не работает, петли на дверях, фен, сантехника ржавые, на ковре дырки, на стенах и постельном белье пятна, не было воды в номере. Вай фай был очень медленный или его вообще не было.

- Nadir (8/5): Budget friendly hotel - The guys from the staff were quite helpful and friendly. Also the breakfast was basic but still good! The fridge there was very loud and you could hear very well the neighbors and the hall. Also wifi could have been better

- محمد (10/5): الطاقم جميل - نعم
- Adil Nawaz Batth Adv (2/5): - Breakfast Building was so old and No Lift was available in hotel Bed Matris is also so old
- Paolo (7/5): Vivi Istanbul in un quartiere caratteristico e vero - Il Black Art Otel è adatto per chi cerca un'esperienza autentica di soggiorno ad Istanbul in un quartiere lontano dai flussi turistici tradizionli. La zona è tranquilla e ben collegata con mezzi e taxi al centro. Nelle vicinanze ci sono bar, ristoranti e locali. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile e accoglie gli ospiti in un clima familiare. Colazione abbondante e varia. Il materasso nella camera da letto er un po' datato e la struttura avrebbe bisogno di una ristrutturazione e adeguamento. Il bagno ha dimensioni corrette. La pulizia in generale è buona ma non ottima.
- Audrey (6/5): The price was fine but the property isn’t worth the price - The staff were friendly and let us into the room early, took our bag upstairs and gave us a free hot drink on arrival The location was awful, on a dirty and busy street. To get into town it was a massive hill.
The bedroom was stinking of stale cigarettes and burn marks on the bedside table from cigarettes.
The bedroom was on the 5th floor and there was no lift, so lots of stairs to climb

- Ahmed (7/5): -
- Manoelle (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - La gentillesse du personnel +++
Le petit déjeuner délicieux La salle de bain…
- Georgina (6/5): Overall a comfortable stay - The staff we very friendly and helpful. The 24hour reception was good for getting back late. The staff were also very accommodating of an early check-in as we had arrived in the late morning following an overnight bus journey. The cafe and breakfast was great!! One of the best hotel breakfasts we had during our stay in Turkey! The room felt outdated and needs refreshing, the bathroom flooded when using the shower and the radiator had paint peeling off of it.
- Epameinondas (8/5): -
- Aida (8/5): - Clean room, friendly staff, decent breakfast Our room was on the fifth floor and there is no elevator, the bed could be more comfortable, noise from the street all night, uphill to Taksim and the bus station
- YOMNA (9/5): Everything was great and the staff was wonderful - Everything was great Nothing
- Aslan (7/5): War ein netter Aufenthalt mit tollen Menschen. - Das Frühstück war ausreichend aber nichts besonderes was man hervorheben könnte.
Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr zuvorkommen, höflich und hilfsbereit, sie sind das beste und tollste an diesem Hotel.
Die Fenster waren auch gut abgedichtet, so das man nicht vom Lärm anderer oder von außen belästigt wird. Die Lage des Hotels war nicht gut, besonders wenn man Richtung Taksim geht, muss man die ganze Zeit steil bergauf gehen was für ältere Menschen problematisch werden könnte, aber dafür kann das Hotel ja nichts.
Das Zimmer war bei uns mit 20 qm2 angegeben aber die Zimmer sind sehr klein, höchstens 7-9 qm² was mit 2 Personen nicht so zum empfehlen ist. Wenn man alleine reist, wäre es aber ok.
Es gibt keinen Aufzug.
- Abdalhakim (9/5): - We had a wonderful stay thanks to Oussama. He was very kind, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. His attention and positive attitude made our experience even better. We truly appreciate his great service!
- Dsouza (9/5): Great stay for the money, definitely worth it. Wonderful and homely staff. Definitely recommend! - Central location, great staff by great I mean I lovely and welcoming. Decent breakfast and good cafe area at the bottom to chill.
Rooms are well equipped with AC, smart TV, table and cupboards. Just that our room was on the 4th floor and no elevator. But it’s good physio after all that food ahah
The bed on one side was slightly lower/dented but didn’t cause any issues. Slept well.
The shower was clogged and water collected while showering and would take 10mins to drain.
All this can be fixed, not to take away from the great room otherwise.

- MARINA (10/5): - Прекрасный отель с замечательными сотрудниками и сервисом! Если вы приезжаете в Стамбул, чтобы гулять и наслаждаться городом, и вам отель нужен для того, чтобы позавтракать и провести ночь, это прекрасный вариант. Да, расположение в местном районе, здесь нет изысков. Но в 10 минутах пешком Таксим, до паромчика 15 минут пешком. Номера чистые, уборка каждый день, матрасы очень удобные, постельное свежее и ароматное. На телевизорах есть смарт тв, мы смотрели любимые сериалы по ночам. Отдельно хочется написать про завтраки — они прекрасны! Горячие вареные яйца или омлет, сыры, колбаска, овощи, фрукты. Нам даже арбуз выносили пару раз. Сливочное масло, джемы, кофе и чай в доступе 24/7. Попросите вечером у ребят турецкий кофе и посидите на веранде, это было замечательно. Отдельное спасибо персоналу, парни очень вежливые и со всем помогают. Барыш нам очень сильно помогал во время отдыха, решил наш вопрос по брони места для годовщины. Да и в целом, нам было очень приятно пообщаться с ребятами на ресепшн. Вернемся в этот отель однозначно, соотношение цена качество 10/10!
- Majid (7/5): - The staff were very kind and friendly, and everything was great. The only problem is the location — it’s really difficult to get there with luggage. You definitely need to take a taxi, and on the way back there’s a steep uphill that makes it quite hard.
- Yaroslava (9/5): - The room is clean and cozy, cleaned daily, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It's located in a good area, with bakeries and shops nearby. There is a noisy construction site near the hotel, which may wake up people with sensitive sleep in the morning, but otherwise everything is fine.
- Alisa (7/5): - The staff was welcoming and helpful. The hotel is located in good place, close to public transport, easy to come and go when ever you want. Soundproof in the rooms is not the best but with some good earplugs you will be fine. Bathroom is little outdated but still clean
- Christopher (9/5): -
- Dalal (7/5): - موقعه كان جدا ممتاز، كل الاماكن السياحيه المهمه في اسطنبول جنبه ممكن تروحلها مشي، شارع الاستقلال، تقسيم ،…
الناس للي شغاله فيه جدا خدومين وبشوشين جدا
- Vitaliy (10/5): Рекомендуем данный отель! - Отличный отель в центре Стамбула - в 5 минутах ходьбы от Istiklal и Таксим. Хорошие завтраки, приветливый персонал - всегда готовы помочь, чистые номера.

- Qusay (9/5): If I were the owner, I would add a small chocolate bar in the room and provide complimentary tea and coffee throughout t - The staff, especially Usama and Rezen, were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was nice, though it could be improved. The room was clean, and the outdoor seating area provided a pleasant place to sit and relax. The bathroom could benefit from some renovation. There was occasional noise from outside, particularly from motorcycles, and the room itself was rather small.
- Guissouss (10/5): Séjour agréable je recommande - Personnel au petit soin, cadre agréable et emplacement stratégique
- HKAR (8/5): Overall the hotel is good and equal to the value of the money. I recommend for any person to stay. - Staff behavior and breakfast; the staff are very good people. Very supportive and gentle Stairs was horrible I don’t recommend for the family stay who have children under 7 years and air conditioners were not strong enough to cool down the rooms quickly
- salim (7/5): Correct -
- Indira (5/5): - Вежливый и отзывчивый персонал, вкусные и плотные завтраки, аккуратно и чисто, услуга вызов такси происходило быстро. Для семейных с двумя детьми было тесно, хотя выбрали номер с двумя комнатами. Квадратура очень маленькая к сожалению!
Разместили нас на 5 этаж без лифта, мягко говоря не приятно было.
Уборка производилась , но постельное белье нам не поменяли в течении 5 дней. Сан узел маленький. Район не очень в благоприятном месте. Интернет слабый!
- Vasilios (8/5): -
- Taraneh (2/5): Not worth the money you pay. You could find better options - The only good thing about this place was the staff who were respectful and helped with our luggage. The photos look much nicer than what you get. The rooms have bare minimum facilities. Our shower was broken and the bed had a dip hurting our backs.
The location is in a trashed area, if you want to go to taksim sq walking you need to climb a hill, the area is dirty and disappointing.
The breakfast is not a buffet, you get a plate and based on my previous experience, the quality is not worth paying for.
- Katerina (9/5): - The Black Art Hotel is a very friendly place. The staff responded quickly and politely to our messages prior to our arrival, which was very reassuring. We arrived by car, and parking was easy in the area (there is a space in front of the hotel, some free spaces nearby, and even a private parking lot at the end of the road, which we didn’t need to use). The room was exactly as we expected, but since there was a problem with the fridge, they moved us to another room on the same floor (which was even bigger!). The air conditioning worked perfectly and the rooms were nice and quiet.
The highlight of our stay was definitely the AMAZING breakfast and the staff’s professionalism, as they were always warm and ready to help.
If we visit Istanbul again, we’d definitely stay at this hotel (probably on a lower floor next time to skip a few stairs). It wasn’t just great value for money, but also super convenient for getting around — whether by car, Uber (which we often used for trips to the old town), public transportation, or on foot (though be prepared for plenty of uphill walks in Istanbul!).

- Natia (7/5): Good -
- Andrej (7/5): Good -
- Khan (9/5): Lovely, warm, and cozy! - Loved our room, the proximity to Taksim Square, the free breakfast, and the staff. Bariş and his staff were extremely polite and helpful. No elevators and our room was on the 4th floor which was a bit uncomfortable every day, and the hotel itself is located at the bottom of a hill that you have to walk to get to Taksim Square and Istiklal street, which is also something we did not know about.
- Mitra (9/5): Superb -
- Claudia (4/5): If you’ve to do meetings or school stuff the WiFi connection is unstable and not reliable - Nothing The room was mostly cold. The WiFi was bad
- Orlando (10/5): Excellent service , very welcoming. - Management were awesome, Construction noise
- Malgorzata (8/5): Very good - Breakfest, staff, location The level of noise from the street until 4am
- Ani (9/5): Superb - everything was clean and comfortable ✨ staff was so nice and helpful 😍
- Mostafa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julia (9/5): The lovely staff make this simple hotel quite special - The staff are super - friendly, helpful and nice to be around.
The breakfasts were totally Turkish, very generous, and slightly different every day eg different fruits, ways cooking eggs, sweet treats etc
I love that they look out for a couple of the local street cats.
Their Turkish coffee is fabulous.
The Princes' Islands trip they suggested and arranged for me.
Not at all stingy with the heating.
As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe there. At least some steps up and down are unavoidable, so not ideal if you have mobility issues (they will of course help you with any bags, and base you on one of the lower floors if they can - I asked several weeks in advance).
No facility to take card payments, so you need cash, but then there aren't any room safes (they had to hold my spare cash/valuables for me at Reception).
Location wise, it's not very handy for the metro or trams for the main sights if you're not a strong walker (not their fault, Istanbul is massively hilly), so you can end up relying on taxis.
The bar isn't fully stocked, so don't expect much, if anything, in the way of spirits.
