We were happy with everything — a perfect option for an overnight stay during a long layover. We stayed for one night and it went smoothly, even though the hotel is close to the airport (we didn’t hear any noise at all).
The condition of the room was okay. There were some scuffs on the walls and damaged floorboards in a few places, but we didn’t see this as a big issue for a short stay.
We really appreciated the very early breakfast — even with our early flight, we had time to eat. The breakfast was simple but had a wide selection.
Thank you for the comfortable stay!

⭐ La Serena Hotel – Accommodation Experience
My stay at La Serena Hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were clean, tidy, and quite comfortable. The staff's friendly approach and attentiveness to guests made me feel right at home. Its central location is a great advantage. It's ideal for those seeking a quiet, peaceful, and safe environment. I can wholeheartedly recommend it for both price and quality.

Choosing Taksim Larissa Hotel Suites for my trip to Istanbul was an excellent decision! The hotel's location is absolutely unbeatable, right near Taksim Square. It's just a few minutes' walk to Istiklal Avenue, and the metro station is also incredibly convenient, making it super easy for shopping, dining, and exploring the city. My booked suite pleasantly surprised me. It was very spacious, with modern and clean decor. The kitchen, living room, and bedroom were all fully functional. The bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent. It's truly rare to find such a quiet and comfortable resting space in the bustling Taksim area.

The Midtown hotel is very conveniently located near Taksim square which gives you easy access to the metro and coach buses that go directly to the airport. At the same time it’s not directly on the square which means if there’s an event or a party there you can still sleep soundly! Also want to highlight the great cleaning staff, I thought their “refreshing” the room was immaculate. Will come again!

An unexpectedly great experience! I initially thought it would just be an average stay since it's a 4-star hotel, but the service and location were excellent. There was a national football match happening right next door that day. The rooftop restaurant has unbeatable views and is even a Michelin-starred establishment. The service was very attentive, and it's super close to the airport bus stop.
Beautiful view, good service, good breakfast
It’s in a great spot with lots of local cafes and restaurants, also great shopping centres close by
The only issue was a bit of mould like smell from the bathroom
Maybe due to the timber floors getting wet and not drying properly in there
One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in! The staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we arrived. They even upgraded one of our rooms to a larger one with both a double and single bed, which was a lovely surprise.
The team went above and beyond they took the time to explain the Istanbul map to us, recommended must-visit attractions and local food, and even helped us book an authentic Turkish dance show. The room was new, clean, and very comfortable.
The location was perfect safe, walkable, and close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque. Overall, it was an amazing stay, and I’ll definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. I’d love to come back again in the future. Keep up the great work! 🌟
The location is good as it is within 10 minutes of SAW airport, however our yellow taxis driver didn't look happy to be called out just for this short drive! The room was clean and complimentary water is a very nice touch. There is also a small fridge in the room which is very handy. The staff were friendly and the hotel was nice enough for an overnight stay before a flight.

I stayed at Amara Old City Hotel and had a great overall experience.
The location is unbeatable, just 5 to 10 minutes on foot from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and other major landmarks. Perfect for sightseeing, with a lively and safe atmosphere.
The hotel was clean, comfortable.
The main downside is that everything around is tourist-priced — food, drinks, and souvenirs can cost 3 to 5 times more than in other parts of the city.
Still, if you want to be in the heart of historic Istanbul, this is a great pick. Just consider walking a bit to find better deals on meals and shopping.
Great

AAbdoAbdulghaniThe hotel breakfast was great with very large selection of food, the location is not far from the city center by the train and the nearest train station is just behind hotel called Kazlicesme.
The nearest shopping mall and commercial area is around 5-10 minutes walking west of the hotel called Olivium, also before reaching the mall you will see a local park and local stores, like supermarkets, restaurants and bake shop. The hotel staff were very helpful and professional, room service does amazing work keeping the hotel rooms common areas very clean. I will definitely stay here again.
DdoudiWe enjoyed staying in G tower with all the facilities that made our holiday great! The staff were helpful and friendly especially Ms Neda. The location is also good for people who doesn't to be in a crowded and noisy area, the hotel was very clean and calm. We'll absolutely come back again!
NNatty76This hotel is defo a come back too. Hotel is in a perfect location, about 5/10 min walk to Taksim square plus hundreds of shops to walk down or a tram ride if you can’t be bothered to walk. Hotel was clean and the staff are so friendly, will do anything for you if you need anything, cleaned our room and we didn’t even ask which was a lovely thought. Always happy and smiling and you can have a laugh with them, they will help you with anything you need from travelling to different places, giving you local info, always polite. The room was fantastic, spacious, with a great little balcony that has a lovely little view of the Main road but still lovely to look out. Me and hubby will definitely come back to this hotel as we absolutely enjoyed our stay with no problems. Thank you to all the staff who were about during our stay as you made us feel very welcome. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
GGuest UserThe experienced staff were both Friendly and helpful! As I was Traveling late night early morning, I called the hotel for some assistance with a taxi service. They front desk was happy to talk to the driver and even helped me confirm pricing. As a single woman traveling I am wanting to take precautions for my safety. The room was authentic and had a comfortable warmth! The rooms were clean with comfortable beds. The location is close to the touristy spots with easy access to public transportation! Travelers be prepared, so many things to see and do-be prepared. I enjoyed the exciting hustle and bustle and with help I found my way on the public ferry to check out the other side for a local experience. I truly enjoyed my stay, Thank you Empire Palace
Jjeremyccampbellvery nice place, nice views, you will need a car, its not near water. restaurants down stairs is good. other than that its a 5-8 minute walk
GGuest UserThis hotel was a stopover on our way back to Istanbul from Kapa and Cesme. It was surprisingly nice, with standard hotel management. Turning right outside, you'll find a very affordable and delicious restaurant. Across the street is a supermarket, perfect for buying local groceries to take home. The service was also warm and attentive, accommodating every need. The most touching thing was that we left for the airport at 3:30 a.m. to catch our flight, and the front desk representative, Brion (I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly), helped me call a taxi. He was so worried we'd get ripped off, so he negotiated a price and had us pay as we got in. He even asked the driver to write down his phone number so we could contact him if we had any questions. I'm so grateful and will definitely stay here again when I visit Istanbul.
GGuest UserThe stay was very comfortable. The location is very good and you can get to any place very quickly, especially if you are a tourist and want to visit the most famous locations. The breakfast is delicious, but the same every day. I would recommend to stay in this hotel! Thank you for your hospitality ☺️
AAnonymous UserThe hotel is located very close to Istiklal street, and surprisingly close to Galata Tower. You can walk straight up the road and be at Galata Tower with 15 minutes. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff are very nice and really helpful. The first day I was there, the shower in my room didn't work, and the tap was actually broken. They changed my room and helped me so quickly. Other than a window that didn't want to close, and an aircon that was on but not working, everything else went quite smoothly.
CC PorterMy flight from Istanbul to Dublin was rescheduled to a day later so decided to check to find a hotel to stay overnight. Saw this hotel had an offer of ensuite room with TV/AC/tea & coffee & it looked quite modern. As I would be leaving at 5am didn't need breakfast so for €42 I decided to go for it & it's only @15 mins from Istanbul airport. I found the reception staff very welcoming & attentive. It's very modern & beautiful & clean the room was well appointed & bathroom fab. You can order dinner from a menu of a local lokanta & it's very reasonable & delivered to your door. It was very fresh & tasty. Got a wake up call for 4.15am but my taxi was late so i asked the hotel reception to call
me another which they did & it arrived within 5 mins. It's better to get a taxi from the airport as it was only €13 each way. Can very highly recommend this hotel & would stay there again. Thank you to the staff for making me welcome & nothing was to much trouble. 🤗
AAnonymous UserThe location is great, Istiklal Street is literally 5-7 steps away.
Metro and public transport are 5 minutes away
We lived in the main building, where the reception is
Our room was spacious, but the renovation was, of course, tired
Breakfasts were in the neighboring building (half a minute walk)
Opposite us was the Church of the Holy Trinity, so from evening until 9 am there was always a police patrol (during the day they were on the church grounds)
Breakfasts were monotonous, there weren't enough desserts.
But for breakfast it was quite filling!
I really missed an iron in the room, and there often wasn't one at the reception
Cleaning was done every day, the bed was always made and towels were changed
It was as if the floors were not washed.
