«+»|New, spacious, modern, and nicely designed apartment. Great location on a relatively quiet street, very close to Taksim Square and the major shopping promenade in Istanbul. Easy check-in if you follow all the instructions; the apartment's management communicated very well with me on the day of check-in and responded quickly. My apartment (#104) was on the 4th floor, which helped reduce street noise and provided plenty of natural daylight. The apartment had all the essential amenities. The washing machine in the kitchen area was a big plus, and the company even provided washing detergent. Very comfortable bed. Lots of shelves and storage space in the closets in both the bedroom and the living room. Super fast Wi-Fi. The opportunity for a free check-out at 13:00. Awesome and super reasonable rate - I paid only €38 per night.||«-»|No dryer, and the washing machine did not have any drying options. No clothes drying rack to dry washed items. No iron. Very small bathroom with a tiny shower stall. Cheap quality bathroom amenities; the shower gel tube was completely empty and seemed broken. Poorly functioning shower; water was leaking from some holes, and the water pressure wasn't very strong. Very small garbage cans in the bathroom and the kitchen. Hard, uncomfortable, and dusty sofa, with visible stains as if someone spilled drinks on it. Slow and super tiny elevator in the building that couldn't fit both me and my large luggage, so I had to send my luggage up and down by itself. Very narrow stairwell with tall winding stairs, so you have to be careful going down. Generally, communication with the apartment's management through WhatsApp was just average - one of my questions was completely ignored, and another time, the response was delayed for half a day. Additionally, when I requested NOT to have housekeeping service, it was also ignored, and the housekeeper still came the next day. What's even stranger is that the housekeeper only made the bed and didn't clean anything else, including the messy bathroom and kitchen. They definitely need to improve their communication and customer...

Read moreWe stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. The rooms are renovated and feel brand new, but they need better cleaning. On the positive side, the location is excellent, just a 3-minute walk from Taksim Square. The prices are affordable, and the managers were very helpful, promptly responding to all our requests.
On the negative side, noise was a major issue. You could hear everything from other rooms, and when someone walked on the floor above, it felt like the ceiling was about to collapse. Additionally, although the towels seemed freshly washed, they had visible stains from old marks, and even after asking for replacements, the issue remained. The bathrooms were very small, dark, and lacked ventilation, which caused unpleasant odors to linger in the room.
Overall, our stay had some positive aspects, but significant improvements are needed, especially in terms of cleanliness...
