Guest Reviews

• Massimo (8/5): Da ritornarci - Ascensore e ristorante della struttura: colazione a poco più di 10€ ma basta per due e puoi anche saltare il pranzo. Validissimo anche per pranzo/cena
• Aliya (10/5): - Cleanliness, location and the friendly staff. Nothing they were very kind to me.
• Juro (1/5): Necessary. - It was warm. The pictures of the apartment are not up to date. The front door of the apartment is thin and hard to lock. The furniture in the bedroom is damaged by fire, and in the bathroom by water. The fridge is full of rust, as is the shower.
• Полищук (10/5): - Perfect
• Seyed (4/5): - Location They charged us extra because we had one additional person, even though the booking webpage showed the same price for 1 to 4 guests. They forced us to pay extra because they knew we had no other choice. The bathroom was flooded after the first shower. We also had to wait 30 minutes to check in.
• Simon (10/5): -
• Zahid (9/5): “Exceeded every expectation. Gorgeous, spotless room. Staff that actually cares. Location you can’t beat. This is the k - Location was excellent. Very close to Nothing
• Aliya (10/5): Lovely - 1. The hotel very clean 2. Staff very friendly : My taxi stopped very far from hotel and one of the staff came walking to assist me which was amazing. 3. Location is amazing, 1 or 2 minutes to walk to istiklal street. They welcome me with coffee and water once i came and when i lift also they did the same. The most things i like that staff very friendly and its 1 or 2 minutes from istiklal street, the hotel behind macdonlds in istiklal street. That i stay one day only 😂
• Aydan (10/5): - hersey cok guzeldi herseyi cok sevdik
• jatoi (7/5): -
• Elnur (4/5): Bərbad - Yerləşdiyi yer çox yaxşıdır. Hamama isti su gəlir lakin əl-üz yuyana gəlmir. Hamam/ Tualet Çox darısqaldır. Otaqlar soyuqdur və kondisonerlə isinməsi absurddur. Televizor Pultun batareykaları yoxdur. Olsa belə kanallar işləmir Şəpitlər(terlik) yoxdur . Əməkdaşlardan istədim oxuyub cavab yazmadılar və vermədilər. Yerləşmə yerindən başqa hər şey bərbad. 3 gecə üçün 280 azn ödədim. Dəyməzmiş. Başqa otelləri sınayın
• Efthalia (7/5): Η διαμονη μας στο Tepe Palace - Η τοποθεσια και το προσωπικο. Δεν ειχε αρκετα σεντονια και σκεπασματα. Ηταν βρωμικα και σκονισμενα.
• lily lans (8/5): - Les chambres sont spacieuse bien éclairé l emplacement est parfait proche de istiklel street , les chambres n'etait pas propre le nettoyage a ete fait une fois qu'on a reclamer le personnel a fait le nécessaire. Il etait a l'écoute. Les meubles sont vieux mais passable pareil pour la salle de bain ,les lit son confortable . En gros bonne expérience Le nettoyage pas fait fallait reclamer ,salle de bain mal éclairé

• Marzhan (1/5): -
• Francisco Alexander (10/5): -
• ALFONSO (1/5): Una auténtica estafa. No se lo recomiendo a nadie. - Solo la ubicación Todo. Es un auténtico engaño. Lo venden como apartamentos y no tiene casi nada de lo que prometen tener. Lo peor es que no lo reconocen.
• Noor (4/5): -
• Daniz (10/5): - Ahmet abi çalışan baya yardımcı oldu. İyi güleryüzlu arkadaş. Bir kaç defa bizi davet edib çay ikram etdi.Konum olarak daha iyi bir yer bulamazdım. Tam bir fiyat performans . Tam taksim sokağının içinde. Şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Yine gelirsem seçimim kesinlikleburası olur.
• Velat (10/5): -
• monica (2/5): Entrar era como entrar en otro mundo. Antiguo, sucio, incomodo, un horror - Nada Todo
• Velat (10/5): - Great room, it was clear and the stuff is great. Specially Mesut and Ahmet was really friendly.
• Rexhepi (10/5): -
• Mostafa (1/5): -
• PANAGIOTIS (8/5): - Η περιοχή που βρίσκεται είναι η καλύτερη
• Ullah (10/5): - Great Place. AHMED is a great host.
• Danica Popović (10/5): -
• Nawal (10/5): - نظيف ومرتب واشكر الاستاذ احمد على تعامله الراقي وخدمته لنا
• Diana (2/5): -
• Tasnim (10/5): Excellent - Excellent experience in this property, quite, privacy, close to all services and transport, and nice teamwork, thanks for all especially for Ahmed and amir.
• Bálint (6/5): Definitely not a hotel!! - Great location and good value for my money. Dirty, ran down. I mean it was still great value for my money but calling this a "hotel" is absolutely despicable. This is a motel though and through: broken door frames, cracked furniture, someone's hair on my pillow.
• Nata (10/5): -
• Аида-77 (10/5): - Спасибо за тёплый приём
• Boban (8/5): It very good. - Location is wery good. Staff is very friendly an helpful. Mr, Ahmed is very kind and helpful, and all staff.
• ARAQELYAN (1/5): - Один плюс только в том что не было так шумно как мы представляли только это Very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was far from pleasant. The staff seem to have very little understanding of basic hospitality etiquette and how to communicate respectfully with guests. One of the biggest issues was the internet. The Wi-Fi barely worked during my stay, and surprisingly the problem was not fixed for 7 days. In today’s world, especially for travelers, this is simply unacceptable. Another uncomfortable aspect was the constant presence of people sitting outside near the entrance, like in a gazebo area. These people were not hotel guests, but apparently friends of the owners who gathered there every day. It created noise and an atmosphere that felt more like someone’s private yard than a hotel where guests are supposed to relax. I was also surprised by the food prices. Even very simple items were extremely expensive — at one point I paid more for a single cola than what you would normally pay at an airport, which felt unreasonable. There was also a confusing situation regarding visitors. One evening around 9:00 PM (not late at night), when I brought a guest, the staff suddenly said it was not allowed and claimed it was for “security reasons.” However, they did not ask for any passport, did not register anything, and seemed unsure themselves about how the rules actually work. The whole situation felt unprofessional and poorly managed. Overall, because of the lack of professionalism, poor management, and uncomfortable atmosphere, I would not recommend staying here.
• تركي (3/5): -
• Farhat (10/5): -
• Irina (8/5): Très bien - Proche de toutes mes objectifs L aspect vintage mais ok
• Baraa Alzamel (5/5): - Nicht ganz so Service
• Svetlana (10/5): Cosy family-style small hotel in a great location - Cosy family-style small hotel located just few steps away from a major shopping area and a major transportation center. Hotel personnel is outstanding and genuely caring about their guests 24/7, including transfers during might/early morning time.
• Md Uzzal (9/5): Good location and staff are very friendly - Good room and location Location was good
• Md Uzzal (9/5): -
• Sabri (10/5): -
• Josep (6/5): -
• Artür (9/5): Really great!! - Really nice people, recommend highly! Nothing to be disliked, but perhaps the rooms could be a little more cleaner.
• Stephen (8/5): Very good hotel in central Taksim Square location, walkable to metro and connection to airport train - Great central location in lively central part of Istanbul within a short 10min walk of Taksim Square metro and connection to airport train. November is not a busy time for tourist hotels so hey gave me a small 2-bedroom suite even though I only booked a single room. The hotel has covered outside dining which was v pleasant even in November when the weather was still quite warm. Electric kettle in bedroom for making tea, which is great, but the lead was too short to use safely.
• Baris (10/5): -
• KOSTAS (6/5): Not so good not so bud.... - LOCATION , FRIENDLY CREW , hot water always walking distance to metro , helpfull young guy at te resepsion . BREAKFAST WAS OUTSIDE ! and it cood be better ,the room need a renovation , the bath need the second glass the water was all over the bathroom and very sleepery , the cleaning work need more ... work specialy at the bathroom ,
• Oleksander (9/5): -
• Egor (8/5): Great location and good value. - Awesome location near the İstiklal Street. Nice rooms, but a bit outdated. You can sacrifice the room quality for an amazing location and be near Taksim and İstiklal. The bathroom was a bit outdated and required renovation.
• waleed (8/5): -
• Sitara (10/5): Iyi ve guzeldi, 2 odali verildi. Dinlenme odasinda tv vardi ve calisiyordu. - Otelin konumu cok iyi, istiklal caddesinin hemen yaninda. Odamiz guzel ve temizdi. Carsaflar tertemizdi utulenmisdi. Calisanlar cok iyi, kibar ve yardimseverdi. Her seyi ozenle yapmaya calisiyorlardi. Cikis yaptiktan sonra valizlerimizi resepsionda bekletmeye izin verdiler. Banyoda su gideri tikanmisdi. Arkadaslar yardimci olmak istediler sadece bina cok eski ve yeni devr almisdilar. Otelin yaninda restoranlar oldugu icin bazen gece 3e kadar ses oluyor.
• Olena (10/5): -
• Kireva (10/5): Препоръчвам - Превъзходно местоположение и отношение цена /качество и уникално близо до ул Истикляр на 20 метра. В апартамента имаше 3 стай , не бяха снимани всички. В спалнята - екстра спалня В другата стая - легло и голям разтегателен диван , третата стая - легло. Могат спокойно семейство с 2 деца да ползват един апартамент. Уникално е ! В сърцето на града , а цената е приемлива ! Благодаря Тепе Таксим ! Пак ще дойдем !
• Raheel (1/5): Cheaters, Beware!!!!!! - They are cheaters. I advise you guys to be careful. I had booked room with payment deduction in advance and they were unable to provide accomodation upon arrival. Since the funds were deducted they transferred us to a low grade, third class property nearby which didn’t have any lift. We carry our bags 2 floors up and down. We were also unable to sleep comfortably due to early unbearable construction noise, hence we checked out early. I have attached pictures of the room of alternative hotel they provided to us. I also made compaint at booking.com but no action taken against the property, nor any compensation.
• Ikhlas (8/5): يستحق التجربه - مكان قريب من شارع الاستقلال وكل شي قريب من الفندق الموظفون كانو ودودين ودائما حريصين على رضا الساكنين في الفندق لا يوجد
• WALID (1/5): - Nothing Underestimated
• nicolas (8/5): - Emplacement proche du centre Activité extérieure générant un petit fond sonore malgré l étage elevé
• Hristo (3/5): -
• Ausra Norkuviene (6/5): Good - On the positive side, the staff were very polite, helpful, and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent. The location is perfect — right in the city center. When we arrived, the room was not cleaned — there was trash left from previous guests, hair in the bathroom, and the kitchen area was dirty. However, we were tired after a long journey and it was late, so we didn’t say anything at the time. The bed was clean, which was a relief. The next day we asked for the room to be cleaned, but it was only done the following day. The hotel itself is quite old and in need of renovation. There is a noticeable smell of smoke coming through the ventilation system and from the radiator.
• WALID (1/5): - Nothing Below my expectations
• Zoran (5/5): -
• suzan (1/5): Worst hotel in instanbul - Worst hotel ever , very bad not clean not comfortable , not helpful I didn’t stay of course it’s and they refused to refund the money even they suppose to take only one night they took all the amount Never recommended It should not be on booking Everything Dirty place Bathrooms People
• OLEG (10/5): Аутентичный небольшой отельчик рядом с улицей Истикляль - Правильное название отеля "Tepe Place Hotel Taksim". Остались очень приятные впечатления от проживания в отеле. Отель расположен в историческом здании Стамбула. В 20 метрах от туристической улицы Истикляль (если идти по ней со стороны площади Таксим перед Макдональдсом слева поворот). Очень дружелюбное отношение персонала. Предоставили раннее заселение. Номер небольшой - двухкомнатный, аккуратный, чистый, хотя чувствуется старость здания. Есть лифт. Завтраки не обильные, но покушать яичницу с сырами, ветчиной, маслинами, выпить кофе с выпечкой для начала дня вполне достаточно. В номерах тихо, несмотря на то, что рядом очень шумная улица. Есть телевизор, холодильник, но мы ими не пользовались. Для своей ценовой категории прекрасный отель. При отеле есть небольшое уличное кафе с приятными по сравнению с теми кафе где мы были ценами.
• Montserrat (10/5): - La ubicación y que tenía ascensor El baño estaba un poco mal
• Elena (8/5): - Отличное место расположение отеля Комнаты и санузел очень маленькие Вид из окон упирается в стены соседнего здания. За 4 ночи проживания уборки не было ни разу. Завтрак континентальный, ждать ооочень долго.
• wei (9/5): -
• Abobakar (1/5): -
• Ali Can (1/5): Dreckig, Kein Service, Schimmel, unfreundliches Personal - Die Lage -Massiver Schimmelbefall an der Badezimmerdecke, aus der zusätzlich Wasser tropfte -Schwarzer Schimmel in der Dusche – eine klare Gesundheitsgefahr -WC-Deckel defekt, fällt vollständig ab -Schimmel in der Küchenzeile -Zimmer sehr kalt, Heizung nicht funktionsfähig - Drei Tage keine Handtücher trotz wiederholter Nachfrage. Wir konnten nicht duschen!!! -Extrem unfreundliches Personal, keine Abhilfe -Defekte und stark abgenutzte Möbel -Zweites Bett deutlich kleiner als - Bettdecken mit Blut-, Urin- und anderen Flecken - WLAN funktionierte nicht
• Minakova (10/5): - Очень приветливый, отзывчивый персонал. Комфортное местоположение. Чистые, просторные номера. На первом этаже отеля есть кафе, где всегда можно вкусно покушать и приятно провести время. Отель очень рекомендую!
• Minakova (10/5): - Очень приветливый, отзывчивый персонал. Удобное местоположение рядом с метро Taksim. Чистые, комфортные, просторные номера. На первом этаже отеля есть кафе, где всегда можно вкусно поесть и хорошо провести время. Проживанием остались очень довольны, рекомендую!
• Mina (1/5): Väldigt dåligt. - Inget Allt
• mari (1/5): Very uncomfortable, old and unkempt. Only the location is good. - Location only. sorry but Unfortunately, I can't write anything good. When we arrived at check-in, they told us that the bathroom in our booked room was damaged and offered us to spend the night in a neighboring hotel. The hotel where we were placed was a complete nightmare.... An extra bed in a very small room that blocked the bathroom door. To enter the toilet, you had to pull the bed up to close the door. The room had no window. The sheets were wrinkled and old. There was no kettle or basic amenities. We had a nightmare night. In return, they offered us breakfast, which was ridiculous. The next morning, they let us into our booked room, which was not like the photos. It was a different room, with a different bathroom. The sheets in the room were old and untidy. The floor was not cleaned, my feet were sticky. The furniture was shaky, old and dirty. The hand shower in the bathroom didn't work. There were no toiletries or towels, when we asked they only gave us towels. The hair dryer did not have a protective cap and did not dry our hair, I asked for a new one, they promised to bring it to me and did not bring it. There was a kettle but it did not work. I booked a room for three people, when booking it was written that the room should have one queen bed, one extra bed and a sofa. But instead of an extra bed, they gave us a sofa. In short, it is a very bad hotel and I do not recommend it.
• Konstantin (1/5): Закрыть гостиницу на ремонт!!! - Грязные номера,изношенная мебель, столы со следами от сигарет. Маленькая ванна комната, в раковине только холодная вода шланг для горячей оторван. Окна открыть нельзя, под окном постоянно работает система вентиляции. Кондиционер в двух комнатах, но пульт один. Завтрак с 9.00 до 10.00, но получить его можно только после 30 минутного ожидания и постоянного напоминания, что ты его уже давно ждёшь. Завтрак на улице и когда прохладно ожидания превращается в испытание !!! Грязно, всё изношено, завтрак получить очень сложно хотя он и оплачен, нужно постоянно напоминать что ты уже давно ждёшь. Завтракать можно только на улице! В номере ни кто не убирает. В ванной вообще нет места, в раковине только холодная вода, шланг от горячей оторван. Постоянный шум под окном от системы вентиляции, окно открыть нельзя, тогда даже телевизор смотреть будет невозможно!!
• Lube (7/5): - Treba renovirati Odlicna lokacija
• Ali (7/5): ماشي الحال حلو الماكن - الغرفه والمكان جميل وقريب من كل شي مريح الماكن اضاءة الغرفه شوي ضعيفه وفي خربان منه
• Pautov (10/5): - Приветливый персонал и отличное месторасположение
• Emilia (6/5): - Locatie Top! Hygiene
• Osama (10/5): Perfect,clean, friendly 24 hours available staff and a bargain ! - The staff were doing absolutely everything to ensure, our comfort and were very friendly. The location was perfect, directly goes to Istiklal st. The heart of Istanbul
• Sergii (9/5): -
• Murat (2/5): -
• Carlos (2/5): O preço não justifica o mau serviço prestado. - Localização bastante boa. Perto da praça Taksim e pertíssimo da rua pedonal. As imagens do alojamento são pura ilusão. Edifício degradado, quarto por limpar, cabelos nas roupas das camas, camas por fazer. Casa de banho, muito pequena com insuficientes toalhas para todos. Limpeza paupérrima do sanitário e do chuveiro.
• Polina (5/5): Соотношение цена-качество отличное.За такие деньги жить в центре-отлично! - Месторасположение Номер требует ремонта.В ванной плесень.
• Viktor (10/5): Наилучшие пожелания всем, кто принимал и провожал нас . - Всё было отлично. Администрация предложила экскурсии. Всё было отлично. Большое спасибо. Всё было отлично. Правда парковку пришлось оплатить дополнительно. Хотя мы заказали бесплатно паркинг.х
• Festim (4/5): Overall, it was disappoiting, except the location of the hotel. - The location was good. The old floor, u could hear people walking 3 stories up. They didnt change our sheets at all, and when we first checked in, all the towels were soaking wet.
• Berkant Kovaç (9/5): -
• Hsiaojung (7/5): Stay one night is ok. - Location is good. It would be better if the function of kitchen could be improved.
• Urszula (6/5): Comfortable, Good Value, but could use some improvements - The location couldn't be better. It was super central- almost right on İstiklal Avenue (İstiklal Caddesi), which is a famous and lively pedestrian street in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul. However, it was very quiet, because the entrance was from a back side street, so no issues with noise. The free breakfast at the hotel was quite nice and tasty. The apartment we booked was really spacious, (including the bathroom) however, it does need to be updated. The apartment was clean,(including the fridge) but you could see the age in everything- the furniture, the floors, dusty curtains. Overall, for the price, I'm not complaing, it was acceptable. It was a good value for a whole week for what we paid. The hotel did not have a clothing iron or a working vacuum cleaner. I'm not sure how floors get cleaned. We had booked the apartment- however, the kitchenette area did not really have any plates, silverware or regular glasses- just a few paper cups & wooden stirrers for the tea. I had to ask for glasses & silverware downstairs. There were communication issues with some of the staff- not everyone spoke English, so asking for something was quite difficult & there were miscommunication issues. The rooms need some updating- varnish was peeling from the furniture, stain marks on couch and floors.
• Mammadov (7/5): Good - Location was excellent. Close to any important place you would like to be. No one does not ask what you want or no one does not interest untill you do.
• Karim (9/5): Superb -
• King (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, just a few steps to the famous Istiklal Cadessi, very easy to access. Old building but have elevator. The hotel manager was very kind to let us check out later in the afternoon because our flight was late at night. The owner had just changed. The new owners started to renovate the hotel gradually to make it more comfortable. Suggest to add a light over the kitchen sink so that the sitting room will be brighter.
• Nelli (8/5): Old, decent, quiet hotel in a perfect location. - Perfect location, just above Istiklal, a few minutes walk from Taksim square, in a safe, quiet street. My room was spacious (2 big rooms and big bathroom). The hotel staff was very kind and helpful, they provided us with everything we asked (iron, extra paper, extra pillows). The wifi was very good. In general, the hotel was a good deal. The hotel is old. There are some improvements that should be made, like better lighting (not adequate light in the room or the bathroom for makeup, there were not small lights near bed), some hangers in the bathroom. There were not electricity sockets near beds.
• Nadia (9/5): Superb - The location was pretty good - close to Taksim metro station. However, because of the change of the hotel name of which we hadn't been informed, we were wandering for almost 2 hours around the neighborhood before we found it. Dragging our suitcases, it was very frustrating! Well... we would have enjoyed a balcony, but knowing how it is with small hotels in a busy area, it's understandable...Facilities were not in good shape - difficulties flushing. Once we shared this at the reception, we were instructed how to press the flush button firmly and hold for some time in order to work. The upper body of the shower wasn't working either. So we had to either roll on the floor under the lower part to take a shower or use a cup to rinse. In the mornings, we were not able to get coffee at the bar. We couldn't help ourselves because there was no coffee at all - neither drip nor espresso. Did try to figure out the espresso machine - without any luck though. The receptionist was sleeping, although it wasn't that early - 8:30 a.m. and we didn't want to wake him up. Hopefully, you'll keep in mind the constructive criticism. Thanks!
• Miltiadis (6/5): Pleasant -
• Αναστασία (10/5): Exceptional - Polite, friendly, and helpful staff. The rooms are spacious and quiet. Ideal location next to Istiklal Street, with the nearest metro station at Taksim Square just a 5-minute walk away. I would gladly stay here again on my next visit to the city.
• Azize (10/5): Exceptional - Very good hotel. Good personel and safe place a hotel with large rooms located in the city center. The rooms are clean and room service is available whenever you want. The most important thing for me was the elevator. I recommended it 👍🏼 Everything was great 👌
• Jomana (10/5): Exceptional - Gamal very good I am so happy 5 stars No thing all goof
• Robert (9/5): Everything was great - Great location, clean rooms, great staff untidy and small lobby without ventilation
• Mahsaa (5/5): Passable -
• Tanja (10/5): The BEST place in Taksim Square - if I can give more then 10 stars I will. The place is great, loved the high ceilings in the room. Everything was clean and the bed is very comfortable. The staff is awesome and very polite. Didn't catch their names but the gentleman in the suit is awesome he will even teach you some words on turkish :D The young man that works in the restaurant so polite and always smiling and many thanks to the main guy who arranged everything ( we loved the VAN that picked us up from the airport ) so grateful to all of you for making our first trip to Istanbul so pleasant. I am definitely recommending this place to everyone that wants to be in the heart of Taksim Square! /
