We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a cozy living room that made us feel at home. Everything was clean and well-organized. We also appreciated the emergency door at the end of the apartment, which added an extra sense of safety. Overall, a great place to stay and highly recommended! Once you leave your apartment and go down, you will find yourself in Istiklal Cd.

Great place for a short stay.
The apartment is a little dated and not really suited for 4 people. The second bed is a day bed. The view is to die for, an incredible place to watch the sunset. Also the apartment is a very good size.

We also love the view. As seniors we would love to have more lights in the apartment. Taxi station closed by gave us very reasonable rate every time. Cafe downstairs is a big plus. Definitely stay here next time

Great apartment on the top floor with beautiful views. Walking distance to everything and a laundry service downstairs as well as an Espresso Lab. Very convenient. Just a very small bed.
Terrible! The property is nice but dirty. The management don't have any care about the guest. Somebody tried to open my back door in the middle of midnight. I had a very bad welcome with a girl booking the door instead of attending the coffee shop was yelling at me! I have never meet any person to attend my needs, just bots!

everything was nice and clean and Mehmet was very friendly.
This property is inaccurately advertised. The rooms aren’t rooms, they are glass boxes. I didn’t feel safe getting in and out of bed since the bed is so close to a glass divider instead of a wall. Beds are small, bedding is thin and poor quality, furniture is worn out in general, lighting is poor. The space isn’t even isolated/insulated from the exterior. You can smell anyone smoking outside and hear all the noise, both of which are constant. The property is listed to have laundry which means there is a dry cleaner next door. There are no hotel staff on site. During our two week stay only one cleaning was offered. We had asked for the hand soap dispenser to be filled as there wasn’t any. We barely had enough toilet paper to get through our stay.

The hotel was in the perfect place. Near the shopping centre with a mind blowing view. I stayed with my husband and daughter for 14 days and i loved every minute of my stay. The coffee shop downstairs was perfect for breakfast and snacks. The only downfall was that there was 2 bedrooms but no dressing table. Apart from that i have no other complaints. I was welcomed very warmly by Veeri. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay near Taksim Square. Thank you

The apartment was beautiful with easy check in and out but, the only downside was the cleaning crew. The Cleaning lady didn’t clean as good as what you expect in a hotel the first day and when she came while we were there but wanted her to clean, she didn’t understand and rushed in just to put some new towels and left immediately. She didn’t show up after that despite us turning the green light (request to clean).
