• Carina (10/5): -
• Lazarević (8/5): - Gopodin Yakub uvek izlazi u susret,pohvale za osoblje. Nije toliko daleko od Taksim trga. Čistoća u apartmanu nije bila bas sjajna i o nekim detaljima unutar apartmana treba povesti računa.Bučna spoljna jedinica klime(naslonjena na metalnu ogradu pa je vibracija mnogo jaka),prve noći bas mi je smetala.
• Tawfeek (8/5): -
• Brisilda (4/5): - It was very dirty
• ABDULLAH (8/5): - الأخ يعقوب كان متعاون جدًا معنا ليس المره الأولى هذي الزيارة الثانية للفندق

• Dmitrii (9/5): - Все хорошо,чистый и уютный номер.Неплохой завтрак.
• Aleksandar (8/5): Everything the property could do to make the accommodation pleasant was done. They were great. - At arrival the room was clean and everything was in order. We had fresh towels, there was always hot water, the AC worked perfectly, the Wi-Fi was excellent (fast and stable), the fridge was ice cold, the interior of the building and the lobby were very comfortable, nice and clean. The staff were very helpful and approachable, they made sure everything was always in order and even helped us book a cruise. On check in they were pleasant and the check in process was very easy and well done. We payed the agreed upon price at the property and got our key straight away. In the local area there is a Carrefour SA and a very nice bakery and Taksim square is relatively close. Everything that I will say in the “What I didn’t like”about the property could not be helped by the staff. So I am very happy with my stay and grateful to them for everything. The property is located on a bit of a steep hill when going to Taksim Square, but it is nothing too serious, only a couple of meters. The neighborhood is a bit dirty and dreary, but the property can not do anything about it. Because of the dirty neighborhood there is a very small scent, a bad smell, but you will notice that most of Istanbul smells like this, so again this is not something the property can help.
• Elena (10/5): - Расположение не далеко от площади Таксим. Отличный кондиционер не дал нам замерзнуть, было тепло. Горячая вода без перебоев. Номер чистый. Есть чайник. Фото полностью соответствуют действительности. Дружелюбный персонал. Есть крутой спуск к отелю, но это Стамбул. Если вы любите гулять пешком, то таких спусков-подъемов по городу очень много. Для нас это не проблема.
• Emanuele (7/5): Nel complesso ok! - Ho apprezzato la gentilezza di tutto lo staff. Ambienti pulitissimi. Apprezzabile anche la vicinanza di un piccolo supermarket/tabacchi (praticamente sotto l'hotel) e di diversi ristorantini raggiungibili attraversando la strada. Nonostante l'ubicazione dell'Hotel si vicino a piazza Taksim, per raggiungere quest'ultima (in cui ci stanno metropolitana, negozi e hotel lussuosissimi) si deve percorrere una ripida salita a piedi in cui i guidatori turchi non tengono molto conto dei pedoni. L'hotel (due piani) non ha ascensore. Questi primi due aspetti devono essere tenuti in considerazione da chi ha difficolta a deambulare. La zona durante la sera diventa poco raccomandabile. Gente che schiamazza e urla..... La vicinanza alla moschea di piazza Taksim include gli avvisi del muezzin per la preghiera: tenendo conto che il primo è all'alba, bisogna considerare che sa affettuosamente di sveglia.
• Maya (10/5): I had a great stay at Sword Suit Hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. Special than -
• Abdullaev Doniyor (7/5): - Staff was helpful and friendly, the location is fine , next to Havabus bus stop. The clogged drain and better cleaning won't hurt
• Ayman (10/5): استمتعت بالإقامة في الفندق وتعامل الموظفين راقي جدا خاصة الأخ يعقوب للامانة جدا متعاون ويجاوب على كل الاستفسارات - الموقع النظافة الترتيب الاهتمام الخدمة كل شي كان على مايرام
• Filip (9/5): -
• Mohammed (4/5): - The pictures on the site differ from the reality. The area and the street are very steep, making it difficult to walk on this street. The staff are very cooperative. Regarding the cleaning, the room was cleaned only once.
• Hadavi (7/5): Overall this is a good place especially with this price. However, definitely not a 9/10. - This place is not as perfect as it is described in here, but considering the price range, it is a good choice. Some facilities in the hotel were a bit old.
• Lütfü (10/5): - Çok temiz ve Taksim meydanına 10 dakika yürüme mesafesi. Yokuş olması dezavantaj. Odalar küçük ama WC Banyo tertemiz. Yakup ve Hasan bey çok ilgili insanlar. Hasan bey karşı tarafta Urfa kebapı tavsiye etti mutlaka uğrayın derim. Habertürk yayın yönetmeni Mehmet Akif Ersoy beyide orda çorba içerken gördük. Tek çeşit Ezogelin çorbası var ama harika!!!
• Joey Viengdara (6/5): - Ok
• Y.SERAFI (8/5): - غرفة نظيفة . سعر مناسب . صعوبة الوصول على سيرا على الاقدام .
• Mehmet (8/5): - Otel temizliği çok iyi fiyat performans olarak iyi. Sadece konumu çevresi kötü.
• Burçak (6/5): - Temizlik konusunda bana güven vermeyen bi yer oldu kendi yastık kılıfımı takıp uyudum tuvalet banyo da aynı şekilde idare eder durumdaydı akşam su sıkıntısı yaşadık bi anda duşta su azaldı. Müşteriler gelmeden önce odayı havalandırmaları gerek diye düşünüyorum. Mahalle olarak tekinsiz bir konumda otopark dedikleri de dik yokuş çakıllı. Fiyata göre ortalama fakat fiyat performans diyemem.
• Lütfü (10/5): - Sehr gutes Hotel . Klein aber sauber. Preis Leistungsverhältnis unschlagbar. Klima funktioniert, Bad WC sauber keine unangenehmen Gerüche. Kann ich weiterempfehlen.
• Deniz (10/5): - Wir waren für 4 Nächte in dem Sword Suit residiert. Einzigartig, an Sauberkeit kaum zu übertreffen, äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Vom Hotel zum Taksim Square ist man in 5 min Fußweg. Immer wieder gerne!
• Taleb (8/5): - We liked that carrefour was near the hotel and there are 2 great restaurants nearby You have to go up or down to go to taksim or anywhere which is exausting
• Inna (10/5): -
• Dimash (10/5): -
• Anna (9/5): Люблю Стамбул, люблю Таксим и обожаю теперь этот отель! - Отличный хозяин и очень ответственные и внимательные сотрудники. Номер оказался больше и интереснее, чем на картинке. Понравилось всё! Чайник подтекает, его надо немного починить.
• elvan (6/5): - Konum olarak güzel.. Tesisat bakımına ve biraz temizliğe önem vermeleri gerekiyor. Yakup Bey'e ilgisinden ötürü teşekkür ederim.
• Valentin (8/5): Bueno, bonito y barato - La ubicación es muy buena y la atención de Jacob es excelente. La ducha podría mejorar, pero la habitación es muy amplia, cómoda y limpia. Muy buena experiencia en una ciudad que ha sido muy amable. Todo bien
• SOUHEB TALAL (8/5): -
• David (10/5): -
• Alaeddine (9/5): Superb -
• Mara (10/5): We loved Sward - The best accomodation we could find in Istanbul: reasonable price, very clean and confortable, close to Taksim Square, free parking place, good Wi-fi. Our host, Iacob, was an amaizing guide: he informed us about places to visit or to have a good meal at best prices, he took us with electric car up to the hill. Thank you!
• Shchepina (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice staff. Thd room was clean. Small but clean. The location is perfect for those who are there sightseeing. Highly recommend Nothing
• Elahe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hannan (8/5): Very good - It was wonderful staying there I fell at taksim square and had a foot spasm I wasn't able to walk even so I stayed in my room and the guy hassan at the reception helped me so much and took really good care of me I'm really thankful to him
• Verified traveler (10/5): Hot shower sweet front desk staff - This place had a great price point for what it offered. It was a simple room with everything that was necessary, very hot water for shower, and a comfortable bed. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
• Muhammad (9/5): Superb - Had a great stay! The staff were very helpful—special thanks to Hassan and Yaqoob for their support and letting me check out late. Markets and shops were easily accessible. The room was clean, air conditioning worked well, and overall, I really enjoyed my stay. Thanks—see you again! Having a slope hill from the Hotel till the Takism Square. Would highly recommend some kinda electric car for people with luggage to go up the hill or down the Hill.
• Sergei (9/5): A great place for a short vacation - I liked the politeness and attitude of the staff, the cleanliness and the amenities in the room. The huge pluses for me were the presence of air conditioning, a refrigerator and drinks Small problems - the bathroom door wouldn't close, the kettle is inconveniently located due to the socket and does not turn off by itself
• Ivaniashvili (10/5): Exceptional -
• Slobodan (9/5): Superb - Location, 5 min walk to Taxim Not attractive neighbourhood
• Togjan (9/5): Superb -
• Manolache (9/5): More than I expected. - Clean and comfortable room (deluxe room). Bed linen and towels are clean, not recently renovated. Very good mattress. I will come back because of the cleanliness and quietness. The staff is ok (I requested late check-out until 3:00 PM, they accepted, but I couldn't get back to the hotel). The Hotel have 9 rooms on 3 levels. It is located near Acibadem Taksim. Taksim Square can be reached directly from the street where the hotel is located (it is 600 m away, but the hill is very steep/hard to climb).
• Haluk (10/5): - Konumu dışında, gayet fiyat performans temiz bir oteldi.
• ibrahim said (10/5): - Hiçbir sorun yaşamadık gayet memnun kaldık. Saç kurutma makinesi biraz güçsüz günlük kullanım için onun haricinde güzel.
• Murtaza (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alsahili (8/5): Very good - It was a great place to stay, with a good location and outstanding hospitality, so I highly recommend it.
• Nada (10/5): Exceptional - Everythink was amazing
• Louis (10/5): Exceptional - Honestly the friendliest staff i’ve ever met. Genuine people who are great hosts and lovely people to just chat too. this hotel it exceeded my expectations completely. Great value for money. This is where you should stay.
• M****ia (10/5): The location and facilities worsed for this money - In the reception was Jakob,very helpful and polite guy. The room was cleaned every day,the towels were changed every day,the coffee and tea was free for us even though breakfast wasn't included.
• Tim (10/5): Clean hotel - great location. - Nice hotel, good value, and a great location for Taksim Sq. Spotlessly clean, very friendly staff (who spoke good English) and strong WiFi connection. Lots of hot water, a comfortable bed, efficient air-conditioning, and very quiet. No elevator, but the staff were happy to carry suitcases up to the room. This place should definitely be considered if you want a clean and well located hotel near Taksim. Steep (but short) hill to get to Taksim Sq, but nothing bad enough to put anyone off going there.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Awfull - The staff was super friendly and always tried to help, but the facility was awful. Location was a bit scary considering the suburb behind it but the main problem was the rooms. Dirty, small, and the shower was broken. 10 star for the staff but the rest... 1 point is even too much.
• Mindia (5/5): Passable - the only thing I liked is the stuff member called Jacob (IAKOB), he's super polite, helpful, responsible, was our local guide as well! Very tiny rooms, untidy conditions, smell...
• Ambra (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was absolutely amazing, every need was met and we had no problem. Super attentive, gave us advice when needed. This is not a downside to the hotel, they have no fault. The road to get to Taksim is a bit difficult to handle as it's a very steep one. But this is how Istanbul is laid out.
• Hamza (10/5): Excellent Hôtel - “I had a fantastic experience during my five-day stay at the‘Hotel.’ This hotel offers excellent value for money, with a cozy and clean environment, just like the photos on their official page. The hotel’s cleanliness matched exactly what we saw on booking, and we were very pleased with the rooms. It’s perfectly located just a 10-minute walk from the vibrant Taksim Square, making it an ideal spot to explore Istanbul. The staff at the reception are outstanding—they are extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist. They make you feel like you’re at home and are genuinely dedicated to ensuring your comfort. I highly recommend it’ to anyone visiting Istanbul for both its prime location and exceptional service.”
• Verified traveler (10/5): Harika - Çalışan arkadaş çok ilgili biz bir gece konakladık oda temiz yatak rahattı istiklale yürüme mesafesinde hafif yokuş ama çok problem değil her şey çok iyiydi teşekkürler
• K (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff and clean hotel. Also budget friendly Nothing
• Gülsah (10/5): - Sehr sauber, niedliches freundliches hotel. würde es jedem weiterempfehlen!!! wir waren mit 2 kindern dort!! vielen dank.
• Hiba (9/5): Superb -
• Chadi (10/5): - Perfect clean room and kind staff
• Jorge (9/5): Superb -
• Fidan (10/5): Mükemmel hizmet - Merhaba 2 kadın kaldık çok saygılı personelleri olan merkezi lokasyonda odaları tertemiz eşinizle ailenizle tek başınıza rahatça kalabilirsiniz her şey için çok teşekkür ederim
• Hanefi (10/5): harika - temiz ve güler yüzlü hizmet
• Noel (10/5): Great location, great price -
• Noel (10/5): Great place - Very clean room and location was very close to Taksim square, the staff was very friendly
• Barekzai (7/5): Good - staff are friendly and welcoming
• Rashmi (9/5): Spacious room with friendly hosts - The staff was very helpful and the rooms were cleaned everyday. They were very accomodating in terms of check in and check out timings The location was a little off. Though being close to taksim square, the road was very steep.
• Shabib (10/5): Exceptional - They helped with early check-in and they have very good staff, thank you for everything. Nothing
• Ivaylo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anton (8/5): Very good - Cosy room, nice and clean. Since I booked the room on the 2nd floor it was quite inconvenient to climb up to the floor using the narrow steeps but it can't spoil the overall impression in case you have no huge stuff to carry on up to your room. Sweet smells inside the facility, rather talkative personnel, it's readiness to reach out and to try to resolve any issue that might arise, all of that speaks certainly in favour of giving the facility a high grade. But, having said that, I should just warn the visitors of the necessity of purchasing a mobile internet in advance (though the guys inside are ready to provide you with that for a reasonably good price) since the quality of the hotel's wifi may turn shitty (or nonexistent) out of a sudden. Still, I believe it's not their responsibility, and the internet is quite okay in normal days ☺️. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place for a short (or not so short) stay in the beautiful city of Istanbul for the hotel has a very good location close to some of the main attractions. I would like to suggest the owners to fix the problem of leakage below the lavabo in lavatory though it's not any serious if one doesn't open the tap on its fullest. So, it's just a suggestion that can not, under no circumstances, downgrade the value of this very nice and comfortable housing facility!
• Farid (5/5): Passable - Staffs are friendly and helpful The room was not as described in the listing. I booked a 25-square-meter room, but they gave me a tiny room of approximately 8 square meters. When I raised this issue, they said it was the only room available. The bathroom was extremely small, with no space to keep toothbrushes, and there was no holder for tissue paper. While Taksim Square is 750 meters away, the uphill route makes it inconvenient, especially if you’re traveling with family.
• Rihab (10/5): Exceptional - I really enjoyed my stay the stuff were super friendly and the hotel was calm and in a safe area near taksim and a lot of interesting places
• Shiva (8/5): In general I suggest the hotel - Very clean with friendly staff. Close to Taksim Square, but the slope was very steep.
• Tam (7/5): over is okay - over is not bad cheaper price
• Sina (7/5): Good -
• Adrian (9/5): Superb -
• Martin (9/5): Superb - Room is small but comfortable, furniture looks new. Kind staff. Walking distance (1km) to the Taksim bus stop for airport buses but beware that the road is quite steep, which makes it hard if you have big luggage. Water pressure was very weak when I checked in so it was hard to take a shower. The next day pressure was normal.
• Marcelo (7/5): Good -
• Alexander (4/5): - Kleine Zimmer. Zimmer war schmutzig. Wenn mann nur schlafen muss dann geht es. Rezeption war freundlich und immer da.
• Yassine (10/5): amazing hotel - the place is amazing clean and you can find everything you want and the guys in the reception is so kind and respectful and also the hotel is close to super marketplace and restaurants for good food
• Stefanija (10/5): Exceptional - the receptionists are very nice and hospitable, available at any time. they cleaned the room every day, the hygiene was excellent. I am satisfied!!! it is on the main street and there is noise
• Daniel (8/5): - Heater and Wifi were not working properly! When i left there was no electricity.
• Eduardo (10/5): A new and well located hotel. - It is a new hotel. Located close to Istiklal Street and Taksim metro. The staff is always willing to help. Very good experience.
• Najat (6/5): - Net hotel, niet groot. Goede locatie. Personeel zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
• Hassan (2/5): Very poor -
• Dan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marie (3/5): Poor - Cheap hotel for Istanbul This hotel is a rebranding of the Sam Suite Hotel (you can check on Google to understand why they renamed it, as it only got bad reviews). Most facilities in the room are damaged or broken. As said in other reviews, the hotel is hard to reach as it is on a very steep street.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Best hotel receptionist ever - Good place to stay for that money The owner so delightful and helpful Listen to his tips
• Hafiz (7/5): Good - Staff was helpful and gracious Overall it was a nice stay Room was not spacious and I could clearly hear people next door (Sound proofing was really bad) Hotel lacks all kitchen and dining facilities even I couldn't find facility to microwave my food
• Mohamed (10/5): Lovely stay and warm welcome from the staff - First of all I would like to thank a lot Mustafa the Receptionist who is very friendly, kind, and really professional, He made my stay as smooth as enjoyable by advising me how to access the whole city without any problem, more than that he gave me a lot of tricks to enjoy my vacation. Secondly the hotel is very quiet and clean the room is big and comfortable, it has amenities that exceed my expectations. The neighbourhood is a good place and safe to walk around. I really recommend this hotel.
• Sabir (8/5): good - staff are very frıendly Location
• Ozkan (10/5): - Cok iyi uyudum. Recepsiyondaki arkadaslar cok iyiydiler, guleryuzlu genc arkadaslar. Yeniden kalmayi dusunuyorum ilerde.
• Zübeyde (10/5): - 303 nolu odada konaklama yaptık güler yüzlü personel ve temizlik için çok teşekkürler ayrışa Taksim meydanına çok yakın
• Raed (10/5): Things to improve - Good But rooms are a bit cold You can turn heat on it will help not much
• Houssam (9/5): Superb -
• Besar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dariya (8/5): A nice hotel close to Taksim square - The hotel made an impression of a new or a renovated hotel situated close to Taksim square. Just 10 minutes walk from there. Staff was super kind and hospitable. We've informed on late arrival and a hotel manager has been waiting for us till late. The room was warm, with all the facilities needed. A bed was pretty comfortable. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay. Be ready to a slope which you will have either go down (on the way to) or climb (on the way from) . It could be also a problem —to descend that hill in rainy/snowy weather and definitely not acceptable for aged people or those who have problems with feet (I have a problem with Achilles tendon and I wasn't aware of the slope angle, otherwise i would put a 9 or 10 for this hotel). Or if you have too much luggage. For backpacks it's okay, for trolleys could be a challenge. Otherwise take a taxi. And don't expect a terrific view from the window. This district is quite calm (no bars) but too shabby (many old buildings are demolished to make appear the new ones).
