The location is awesome, less than 2 minutes to Taksim Square and Istiklal street, the staff are amazing and attentive, the rooms are cleaned often, the room is beautiful and has all you need and is big enough, all my queries were attended too, lots of restaurants close by, it also has a separate entrance for guests, the housekeeper was nice and friendly, I was also given an Istanbul tourist guide handbook on my arrival which was a lovely surprise and very helpful during my stay, Suphi also got in touch with me the moment I confirmed my booking and confirmed my reservation personally which I appreciated a lot as a traveler. Suphi can also arrange a taxi pickup for you from the airport incase you need one.

There is no sound proofing between the floors, if you are on the lower floor you will hear everything from footsteps, people going up and down the stairs, conversations, someone turning on the shower, I had to sleep during the day when there was less activity and go out at night but overall it is a lovely hotel and I enjoyed my stay.

This small and cozy hotel lays in the best location of the city, right next to Taksim Sq. and Istiklal St. It has an eclectic lobby and simple, clean rooms close to all the main attractions of the area. The best thing, however, are the owners at the reception. They both gone above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable

Note that there is no elevator and the room are on the second and third floor. Also, as this hotel is in the center of the city, noise from the street and the nearby mosque can be heard during the night

Nice hotel! Good location and very good price/quality ratio! The room is convenient and well equipped

A lot of noise in the street (nightclubs and Mosque). But able to sleep very well with earplugs

The location and the hotel cleanness. the staff were very helpful and kind

The struggle to walk through the hotel stairs as they are small and very tight and the lack of elevator which made it worse to carry our luggage to the rooms

Seccond time stay , best location comfortable bed and room and best Host ever.

Cafe reception was fantastic. so good welcoming good for value but need some more stuff in the room Owner Suphi said he just took over the place I think best location cause just 1 minute away from Taksim square and famous istiklal street and hotel street is so quiet good for sleep at night and very central.

No lift

The location on Taksim Square was convenient to the metro, the funicular, Shopping, and restaurants, And an easy four block walk to the airport bus. The hotel did not serve breakfast. I splurged on a room with a balcony, which was very pleasant in the morning and gave me a view of Istanbul at sunset. Suphi, the man running the hotel, Was very pleasant and helpful. The air conditioning worked great thank goodness because it was very hot during my stay. And the Wi-Fi was great.

It was an old building with no place to put an elevator, so it was a long vertical climb to get to my room at the top of the building. Also, the plumbing was old and sometimes didn’t flush completely. The neighborhood was noisy with car horns All night long, but the hotel can’t help that

Excellent location 50 meters from Taksim Square and the main pedestrian street Istiklal. Bright and beautiful rooms that have everything you need. A good option to stay in the city center if you are planning walking tours and sightseeing. Nearby there is the Galata Tower, the bridge from which ferries depart to the Bosphorus and much more.

Great location-close to the metro station, nice comfortable walk (approx. 5 km through lively town to Hagia Sophia) and around the corner from the shopping and “party” street, yet calm enough. Nice caffe just in front of the hotel. Room was very clean and well maintained. Incredibly nice and helpful staff. Overall nothing to complain about. Simple but effective.

Its on the simpler side but nothing to complain about. Maybe just beware that there are steep stairs to the room without any way around it.

The location is excellent, not on the main street and just tucked away behind the Mosque. We had the top floor and with no lift it was a struggle to get to but we didn't mind and took it as part of the experience. This place was also close to a local shop and a minute's walk to the shopping mall where you had the big three, McD's, BKing and KFC. The host was excellent and really went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Please bear in mind they open when they expect guests to check in and check out. It is very safe and secure. On the top floor, we had a mini balcony that overlooked the property opposite. The lady across the balcony was quite keen on keeping her window open and baring it all. So be warned, it did get a little uncomfortable as we could really look at the window without looking at her. You have easy access to Taksim Square from either side of the hotel, again lovely to have. We didn't use the cafe downstairs as we were out all day.

It was really noisy at night as all the youth were out partying in this very area, the widows were thin hence the issue. This was not really an issue for us but maybe for others who want a peaceful night's sleep.
