All was good, we liked it so much!
Pros: The rooms are clean, comfortable, spatious. The stairs are manageable even for the old people – I was travelling with my mom in her 60s, and for her it was okay even though sometimes she has problems with climbing the Istanbul stairs. The staff is very kind and helpful. It is a small family hotel, that gives a very cozy vibe. The location is also perfect, just 30 sec away from the main street.
Cons: Maybe tiny bit of renovation is required – here and there were the old pieces, or the furniture that wore off. The door locks did not look particularly safe too.

Pros: Next to Istiklal Street, this boutique hotel is modern, clean and the staff was really friendly.
Cons: The showers are open concept (you have an outside curtain to cover it). While this should not be a problem itself, just keep this in mind. The breakfast is in a near restaurant and it is not the best one (we went somewhere else the last day).

Location Hallelujah
Pros: The Location is awesome, right in the centre of lively shops, bars and cultural event venues. It is also next to the best catholic church in town, run by franciscan monks, which has two services a day even on weekdays. (8am & 7pm) Yay! Staff was very friendly and the owner gave me his phone number. Any problem was solved within minutes. Breakfast was nice. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Cons: Narrow staircase, no lift. Staff will carry your luggage, but you still got to carry yourself 😅 I stayed for two seperate nights. First time (room 6) the room was spotless, but bed was too soft. Second time (room 4), the bed was comfortable, but it could've been cleaned better. The windows (at least on even-numbered rooms) are out into an alleyway. That's nice for privacy, but there's no view and no sun. it helps with keeping the temperature lower, though, and you probably don't want to spend much daytime in the room anyway, with a city busting with life at your fingertips.

Pros: We were greeted by a nice hostess who didn't speak English, but we still managed to communicate. The room is well equipped. The location is great, a minute's walk to Istiklal Street, a few minutes to the Metro station on Taksim Square. Breakfast is in a nearby restaurant and unfortunately there is not too much choice.
Cons: In the accommodation you need to fix some things
