“Very nice property close to Taksim & Istiqlal street”
Liked: Very good location, just a 1-minute walk to Istiklal Street. The room was very clean, spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The wifi was very fast. The price was very affordable, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The AC was very disturbing at night because it kept making noise. It’s connected to a small box underneath, which I believe is used to drain the water.

“Unsafe and Dirty - MISLEADING”
Liked: Central location close to Taksim, but completely overshadowed by the unacceptable hygiene and safety hazards.
Disliked: Do not be misled by the listing photos or high ratings. During our 5-night stay, we were moved through multiple rooms (302, 101, 403, and 201) due to severe health, hygiene, and safety violations. Severe Cockroach Infestation: On day two in room 302, we discovered several cockroaches emerging from inside the bathroom walls. Management initially denied it until shown photographic proof. They did not even have pesticide spray available, forcing me to buy my own. After a single spray, several more appeared. The next day, we were moved to room 403, where we found a live cockroach inside the electric kettle. The plumbing infrastructure, particularly rooms facing Sadri Alışık Sk, appears heavily infested. Fire & Electrical Hazards: We observed exposed wiring throughout the rooms, unsafe multi-plug extenders running heavy appliances, and tampered/bypassed smoke detector wiring (in room 201). Facility Maintenance: Furniture is broken and heavily worn, and the walls are damaged, chipped, and poorly patched. Management & Service: When we requested a cancellation and refund due to the unlivable conditions, management flatly refused, falsely claiming no one had ever complained before. Instead of resolving the issue, they shuffled us between rooms, including a staff room (101), disrupting our entire trip. We were visiting Istanbul for a wedding and could not afford the logistical hassle of rebooking elsewhere on short notice, but staying here completely ruined our first impression of the city.
