Find 2-Star Hotels in Istanbul

"The location is perfect, you are less than 10 mins walk to the ferry and metro station. Plenty of restaurants and supermarkets within 5 mins of the hotel and plenty of kebab restaurants open until 3am. Just a warning that the hotel is on a steep hill with cobbled pavements. If you are arriving with heavy luggage, I’d suggest you take a taxi as it’ll be very difficult to navigate the narrow and busy street otherwise. Hotel is great, the rooms are spacious and kept clean. The provide bottle water and toiletries. The staff are very friendly and helpful."

"I have a few SEO clients in the hospitality industry, and I manage their Google My Business Profiles. So what I would usually do is send every guest who checked in a review link from GMB via email. Works great. And it’s easy and user-friendly for the user. Hope this helps."

"Всё отлично, отель чистый, всё новое, завтрак шведский стол вкусный. Заселили без проблем, хотя мы приехали поздно и номер бронирования в приложении почему то не соответствовал номеру у менеджера отеля, но бронирование у них было, видимо проблема в приложении была. Менеджеры вежливые, приветливые, говорят на английском и русском. Расположение отеля идеально - близко до центра, но не шумно, рядом все виды транспорта, удобно добираться до всех достопримечательностей."

"Let me break down my review: **Pros:** 1. The staff were excellent. They were proactive in their communication, and every time I returned, they'd actively stand up and greet me with a ”HOW ARE YOU.” 2. The front desk staff were also very helpful when I asked for directions. 3. The room was clean, the carpet showed no signs of dirt, and after cleaning, they would spray a fragrance, so there were no unpleasant odors. 4. We arrived an hour early, and they allowed us to check in after waiting just 20 minutes. **Cons:** 1. The toilet seat was broken. I was already very tired, and since we had checked in early, I didn't ask for a room change. However, it was really inconvenient because it moved around while I was using it. 2. The complimentary drinking water provided was just a small cup; other hotels usually offer bottled water. 3. The curtains were too narrow and couldn't close properly (you can see in the pictures). I even had to pull and stick them together myself, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well (as I'm sensitive to light). 4. There's a house renovation project going on downstairs, and there was a lot of noise even at 10:30 PM. Closing the window helped a lot, but it was still loud. So, if you don't like noisy city areas, be aware ⚠️. 5. The breakfast was the simplest I've had in Turkey. As you can see in the pictures, the egg pancake was an extra charge, so I didn't order it. But it might have been really cheap, which explains it. Overall, while the price was affordable, when you're traveling, you truly realize how important comfort is once you've stayed somewhere. So, next time, I will choose a place with a better environment."

"Pros: Recently renovated, conveniently located on a nice street with many restaurants nearby, and close to the famous Istiklal Street. Despite this, the street itself is quiet at night. Cons: The walls are very thin, and it gets incredibly noisy when people leave their rooms for breakfast or chat in the hallway (everything is very audible). The main issue is that the room doors have door closers, so when you exit, they slam shut with such force that it shakes the bed. My conclusion is this: if you're an early bird and wake up for breakfast, this won't bother you. However, as someone on vacation, I couldn't sleep past 9-10 AM; starting at 7:30 AM, everyone would head to breakfast, and the noise wouldn't subside until around noon. Also, the cleaning service was mediocre. During my week-long stay, the bed linens were never changed, only the towels. They didn't do any wet cleaning. Would I choose this hotel again? Probably not for myself. Would I recommend it? Possibly, but it's not a definite yes. While it's beautiful and has a great location, it's simply too noisy inside. Unfortunately, the external beauty couldn't outweigh the feeling of discomfort and the lack of peace and quiet. On a side note, the staff were wonderful!"

"Great location, just a 5-minute walk from the tram and the Aksaray and Yenikapı metro stations. The Marmaray (a type of metro) is also nearby. There are many shops, cafes, and eateries in the vicinity. The staff are very responsive. It's a 6-story building with an elevator, and breakfast is provided. The room was warm in April, and there was always hot water in the shower. Excellent value for money."

"It is very happy that you have chosen this hotel. It is the most center from where to any interesting location to hand to hand. At the same time the area of the hotel itself is somehow advantageous different from many of its relative calm. The hotel itself is very quiet, the hearing is almost zero, the rooms are clean, everything you need to eat. Breakfast is decent. Even after him did not want to eat) there were interruptions with wi-fi. I hope they will. Staff excellent. On all issues are ready to come to help, something to tell, recommend. We were very lucky with administrator Imir, who is from Turkmenistan, speaks Russian perfectly, all the days helped us on all interesting issues, gave us a lot of positive in communication. Very recommended this hotel. Well, the price is pleasantly surprised. We were afraid for such money we would see something 'tired', or not, everything clean and fresh. In general, we are very happy with the rest in this hotel and thank the hotel staff for the hospitality. Special, huge thanks to the hotel manager Imira. We wish him luck on the life path! I wanted to take a picture with him before leaving. It was not his change. We leave without saying goodbye. 🖐️🙌"

"Location is very good location! It's a good place to go on foot to sightseeing. The grandfather who seems to be the hotel did not speak English, but you can communicate by showing the sentences translated into Turkish. There is no amenities in particular, so I recommend bringing it by myself."

"This is a good hotel at an affordable price on Istiklal Street, not far from Taksim Metro. The hotel entrance is through a sweets and souvenir shop. There's an elevator and a regular staircase. The reception is on the second floor. Breakfast is served on the rooftop, which also has an open terrace with excellent city views. The Turkish breakfast is quite good. The rooms are reasonably clean, and trash is emptied daily. Drinking water, tea, and coffee are replenished every day. The shower has liquid soap, shampoo, body wash, and towels. The tableware in the room is disposable, and there's a kettle. The bedding is good quality and clean. There's a TV and wireless internet. The WiFi works well closer to the corridor, but the speed might be low in the far corners of the room. Overall, I liked the hotel; I didn't encounter any issues, and the owner is a pleasant person. It can be a bit noisy from the street in the room, especially on holidays and Fridays, but it doesn't really hinder relaxation. I recommend this hotel for your stay in the Taksim area!"

"We booked the hotel for one night, and it was perfect for a quick stay. We were really pleased and grateful that they let us check in at 8 AM without any extra charge. The location is great, just a three-minute walk from Istiklal, yet you can't hear any noise. The room had everything we needed, but it was very small, exactly as shown in the photos, which we understood. If you get a room on the first floor, you'll hear everything because it's right next to the reception, and the old doors have gaps everywhere, so the soundproofing is 100% ineffective. I slept with earplugs and was fine. We only stayed to sleep, so overall we were happy with it."
