It was a very nice stay!
Pros: Room was very small, but clean Owner is super friendly, helped with suitcases up the stairs Amazing location - lively district, everything you might need is very close, fantastic restaurants nearby, close to popular attractions and transportation. That said, you are going to be staying right across the ambulance reception. If you like medical tv shows or just are a curious person It might be entertaining! They see you too, so you might want to use curtains to avoid uncomfortable interactions.
Cons: If you’re a light sleeper, prepare accordingly. Surprisingly, most of the noise wasn’t produced by ambulance sirens, but by the people partying nearby. (We slept fine though, the windows are great!). Make sure to contact owner through whatsapp if you need anything - we were told that they don’t usually check messages on booking. Also, don’t expect to leave your luggage there after your checkout - it’s basically a cafe, so it doesn’t have the room for it.

Perfect place to stay in Istanbul
Pros: Lovely small hotel, with clean rooms and very comfortable beds. Wonderful staff, friendly and helpful. Great location, close to many cafes and restaurants. Close to Istiklal, Taksim Square and metro. I will return here, the Elegance is now my Istanbul home. Good value.

Pros: The hotel has a very convenient location. The staff are incredibly pleasant — friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They made me feel as if I was meeting old friends I hadn’t seen for a long time. They even helped me with my luggage both on arrival and departure. Always greeted me with a smile and asked if everything was fine. The room was bright, clean, and modern. It had a fresh scent, spotless white bed linen and towels, and all the amenities worked perfectly — shower, hair dryer, air conditioner, and fridge. I truly recommend this hotel. Many thanks to the staff for their warm hospitality!

Great stay in heart of city
Pros: The staff are very welcoming and making you feel relaxed and at home and safe as a solo traveler. Very good location, close to everything. And heaps of cool little cafes and bars around, but nestle away from the crazy busy. Highly recommend.
