2-Star Hotels in Istanbul Province, Türkiye

"Hotel location is good all the famous places are on walking distance"

"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!"

"Room, bathroom and environmet clean Good service from Talha dan Mert they are so kind and nice 🤌✨️ My favorite is Bebek (white cat) she's so beautiful and cutesy 😻"

"The room is spacious and features modern decor. It's a small hotel and doesn't offer breakfast. However, the surrounding area is quite lively, with an MM Migros supermarket and the metro station nearby, making it very convenient."

"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."

"The location is fantastic, really close to Taksim Square, which made getting around super easy. I especially enjoyed the breakfast, and the overall condition of the accommodation was very satisfying. The only tricky bit is that the entrance is through a souvenir shop, which might make it a little hard to find at first."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay at Mesil Hotel! 😊 The hotel was very clean 🧹✨, and the room looked exactly like the photos 📸. The reception staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help 🤝💙. The location is excellent 📍, with easy access to public transportation 🚇, making it very convenient to get around. I truly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. I would definitely stay here again! 🏨❤️"

"A good hotel, conveniently located and well-connected to public transportation. It's very easy to get to any part of the city. Plenty of currency exchange offices and banks nearby. The food is delicious, with several types of cheese and sausage always available, and the homemade cookies and pastries are delicious. Special thanks for the pastries. The only downside is the elevator; it's slow at times, but that's no big deal! Rooms X03 (floor X) have a nice sea view; from floors 5-7, you get a sea view. A shuttle is available, but it's better and cheaper to book on trip.com."

"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."

"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."
