I was very happy with my stay at Taksim Lounge in March, 2013. It was a short stay (4 days) and I wish I made it longer, because I had all the reasons to stay and no reason to go: the staff was kind and helpful, the room and the bathroom were nice and very clean. I felt welcomed and... More

Very close to Taksim Square, where it is easy to get the bus back and forth to Airport. Close to a lot of night life and budget restaurants within short walking distance. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The wifi is awesome! Clean rooms and bathrooms! I enjoyed my time here and Engin and Onur are lovely!

Location was perfect, 5 mins by walk from Taksim Square. Room and bathroom was nice, staffs were very friendly. Breakfast was basic but at least you can have it as much as you want. Considering the price and location there is no better hotel in Turkey.

Probably the best-located hostel in Istanbul - less than five minutes walk to Taksim Square. (By the way - do yourself a favor and don't stay in Sultanahmet unless you have less than three days in Istanbul. You're better off in Beyoglu where things aren't as caustically touristic.) Basic details: the wifi works, and the bathrooms were fairly clean too.... More

WOW. I am so disappointed. The situation was quite bad, that it's almost comedic. We had booked for FOUR/4 nights. The first night, it was obvious they did not have our booking on file (but we have email and official confirmations from booking.com), but the manager seemed nice at that point and we were shown to our room. The next... More
