Perfect location near main transportation (Funicular, Metro station), as well as the main tourist attraction: Istiklal street, Galata tower and others.
Very friendly Staff.
The hotel is just 2 minutes from Taksim Road, with plenty of nice restaurants and cafés nearby. It has a beautiful antique style, and the reception employees were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. While it can be a bit noisy due to the street, overall I had a great experience!
The staff at the Hostal are the kindest. For any request that we had they were super attentive. Great central location to see the city in a few days. Totally recommend!
Whenever I’m in Turkey I stay here. Walkable to most things. Convenient for dining and shopping. Near galata tower. Clean, friendly, they really take care of you. Not one complaint. Highly recommend.

More or less, but in a nice location.
Just plain old normal. The hotel is between good quality and dilapidated. The location is great, the staff is nice, the hotel has seen better days. It is a bit expensive but I get the feeling that, in Istanbul at the moment, if you do not pay a decent amount, you will get very low quality.
The men at the front desk are so helpful! They helped me get my bags up the stairs when I arrived and back down when I left. I didn't like my room and they gave me a better one. Lovely all around. Thanks
Extremely friendly & helpful staff. Great location. Small rooms and very old hotel in general. They should remove the carpet on the corridors/stairs, it’s so old and dirty. They should invest in new mattresses, sheets, towels. These towels must be so old they’re disintegrating. Very loud street so difficult to sleep but I had an overall ok experience.
The WORST hotel experience, the room was terrible!
We booked a room for four nights in July 2022, but my wife and I could stay there only for one night! We trusted the pictures and reviews, but the room was really small, with no space for two luggage! The room was not well serviced; it had very, very dirty carpets, small pieces of toilet paper on the carpets, the bathroom trash can was broken, the shower water faucet hook was broken, and the shower drain was clogged! No breakfast and dining service!
We found another hotel in the same neighborhood with much better value and service!
Advertised roof terrace was closed for construction. In spite of choosing to stay on first floor to limit hearing rooftop construction this was still quite loud during the day.
Requested non-smoking room but there was a smell of stale cigarettes that made me feel sick.
Services shaft was the view out of the rear 'window' to the room. which is not fire safe! Grille had falled off bathroom ventilation riser...which is hardly suprising given it was stuck on with double sided sticky tape!
Wire for lighting sticking out of wall with no light on. Missing / non-functioning bulbs in several of the lights in the room. Felt so uncomfortable we ended up going elsewhere and were glad we did, in spite of the expense, as I ended up dreading returning to the hotel.
