The only good thing about the property is that it is in the middle of Istiklal street. Other than that, the staff don’t speak English (I had to use sign language). The receptionist would just barge into the dorm at 3:00 am and turn on the lights and rattle around then leave. It is too expensive to be considered a hostel given that they have no communal kitchen, no decent bathroom, no amenities to use. I would recommend this place only because of the location.

The pictures shown are completely different from the state of the place. The bathroom was dirty a nobody cleaned the areas during my stay, even my the shelf where I can put the stuff had a peace of bubble gum. The location is super near of the noise, so if you want take a rest is imposble.

El hotel deja mucho que desear en cuanto a limpieza y comodidad. Las instalaciones son pequeñas.

Lo que más me molesto fue que tuvimos que hacer el test de COVID en el hotel y vinieron dos personas que supongo ni siquiera eran enfermeros. Lamentable. Ni siquiera nos dieron una copia del recibo. Supongo que el encargado de la recepción se quedó con parte del dinero. Cerca de 500 TL cuando en el hospital cuesta apenas 180 TL.

No lo recomiendo a menos que quieran estar cerca de la peatonal. Mucho ruido en las habitaciones.

Bad experience with Lavanta hotel

Well, first of all we were supposed to stay for 3 nights in the hotel, we arrived early so we were asked to wait until the time for check in and so we left our luggage in the reception and returned when the time was right. When we returned we were told that our room was under maintenance and that we will be transferred to a near-by hotel in the same street that was only a few blocks away, of course we were mad because we were lied to when we arrived in the morning because they claimed that the room was being cleaned, they didn't see there was a problem was this and didn't apologize too. We told them that they should have told us before coming by e-mail or phone and that they didn't respect their clients. Moreover, they stated that the breakfast will be in the old hotel so everyday in the morning we had to leave the hotel they made us stay in to go have breakfast in Lavanta hotel. No need to say that the other hotel had no elevator and we were staying in the fourth floor and no one offered to help with the luggage until my husband asked them to do so. When we arrived, we found out that the rinser in the toilet was not working and they kept saying everyday that they will get it fixed but they did nothing. They also didn't clean our room until we asked them to do so even though our reservation included room service everyday!

AMAZING STAY!!!

I stayed 1 night in my room, and after I saw the room I wished I'd stayed longer. For starters the staff was amazing, we talked about things I should see in my 1 day adventure, the different modes of transportation around the city, walking distances between the hotel and between attractions, by the time I headed to my room I felt like we were best friends; about 25 mins later. The room was a 4 star tiny home setup, meaning the room was really nicely decorated, with quality furnitures and style, making the space seem large and comfortable. The space was lofted \"IKEA style\", plenty of storage, a small safe for personal belongings, toiletries with hotel name, sitting area with TV and bedroom space above the sitting space accessed by a ladder as you walked into the room. Some details that sold me, crown molding, LED pot lighting, uniqueness of the planning of the space, ceiling heights very nice maybe 15' to 16' feet tall. The room was very clean both designerly and physically, the toilet seat even had a \"seal of sanitation\". The hotel amenities were great, the wifi worked very well, in room, common spaces and a bit down the street if you forgot to look up something before you left, like I did. Breakfast was good and light, ready for a full day of walking to sites. The hotel location was great, very close to shopping strip, restaurants, clubs, Galata tower, and I forget what square, maybe Taksim. It had chi, live music, shops, and unique people. I WILL BE COMING BACK HERE!

Pros: close to Istiklal walking st. (tourist district), nice and polite staff, Wifi access

Cons: limited facilities ( no fridge and kettle), staff barely understand english, should ask for your needs( e.g. I asked for shampoo, soap and air con remote)

Very goof location, and very good staff

the choice of that hotel was a very good choice; the best thing about it is its in the middle of the city where you can find transportation to go everywhere in Istanbul, and near Istiklal street where you can do shopping in a fantastic atmosphere. the people who run the place are very friendly, helpful, and have a great hospitality.
I do really recommend the hotel for couples or a family with one child (No more) as the rooms are best fit for 2 adults and one more child.

L’emplacement de l’hôtel est exceptionnel lorsqu’on veut vivre l’expérience TAKSIM le quartier ne dort JAMAIS l’hôtel est à même pas 1min à pied de l’avenue où l’on peut faire les boutiques et manger encore à 1h du matin
Il est aussi très bien placé sur cette grande avenue car à 10min de marché de part et d’autre il y a GALATA TOWER et TAKSIM SQUARE
Enfin juste en bas de l’hôtel vous trouverez restaurants/ épiceries et station de taxi
L’hotel a un excellent rapport qualité prix il est certes petit et simple mais en allant à Istanbul pour ma part c’est surtout l’emplacement qui était primordiale et le service !! Un grand merci à MURAT et son équipe qui on été toujours TRÈS À L’ECOUTE
Je recommande pour les voyageurs qui souhaites être bien placés et qui souhaite un Bon lit pour se reposer et partir de plus belle et non pas pour ceux qui souhaitent passé des journées détentes à l’hôtel :)

Buon albergo

Pulizia molto buona. il bagno un pò piccolo ma comunque con appoggi e ganci per sistemare le proprie cose. Il letto molto molto colomdo. Si trova in una strada laterale con molta vita notturna (per me non era un problema perchè dormo sempre con i tappi per le orecchie). La colazione ha solo marmellata e miele come dolci; per il resto grandi scoprpacciate di olive e formaggi (6/7 tipologie per ognuno)

Tveksam service hos personalen

Min bokning gälde ett tvåbäddsrum, men fanns inte längre tillgängligt vid ankomsten. Mannen bad om en voucher, men förklarade att detta inte finns hotels.com. Efter div sökande av bokningen fick jag fylla i ett särskilt formulär och även underteckna en liten lapp utan förklaring varför. Jag hade blivit uppgraderad tiil ett bättre rum på ett närbeläget systerhotell Babu Hotel. Kort promenad dit men nu utan twinbed. Förklsrade att jag reser med en kompis och föredrar tvåbäddsrum. Rummet var stort, studio med kylskåp, rymligt badrum - men oftast obemannad reception med låst ytterdörr och nyckelhål längst ned vid dörren, svåröppnad. Bra rum men dåligt bemötande och endast städning 1 gång trots upprepad begäran. Denna recension gäller Babu Hotel

Würde ich nicht weiterempfehlen!
Das Hotel an sich würde ich mit einem „OK“ bewerte, dazu kommen aber noch die Umgebung..
Die Reichweite zur Innenstadt (Istiklal Caddesi) waren keine 200m, was super war!
Allerdings liegt das Hotel in Tarlabasi, wo es sobald es abends wird sehr gefährlich sein kann. Überall Clubs, Bars usw.
Eine ruhige Nacht gab es nicht, hätte ich das gewusst .. Hätte ich dort mit Sicherheit nicht gebucht, stattdessen 100€ mehr bezahlen und in einem ruhigen und vernünftigen Hotel übernachten!

Dissapoint/area is very loud

I was very disappointed with the hotel. Never not as it was shown. While I had showered, water was not warm but hot and very cold alternately, is over the shower water running on the floor. Within a short time, the front desk of the receptionist knocked the door and said that downstairs from the ceiling water is running down.I said what can i do? They would like to check but never did...and one times they are doesnt let me to take a shower for 24 hours. I was there for 5 days and nothing was done. It was so loud on the street (brawl / demo / parties). It was very clean but worst hotel i have seen. They could not help me much to get back rooms. I do not recommend this hotel. But Istanbul is definitely worth seeing. Beautiful the city.

Super top hotel met zeer vriendelijke personeel!

İk gazeker niet overdrijven maar vond het echt super top hotel zoals de ligging als de personeel die daar werkt... ikhad zelf al van begin zoveel angst dat het mij ging tegenvallen maar beter kon niet vooral voor die prijs met ontbijt!!! İk ben iemand die veelreist naar İstanbul en iedere keer bij een ander hotel logeer maar volgende keer gaat het altijd deze zijn zeker en vast!! Personeel vooral, iedereen doet zijn best om je tot rust te brengen en te genieten van je verblijf... Personeelsdirectrice Mevrouw Asli komt iedere 's morgens aan je tafel bij ontbijt, om individueel een babbeltje te doen en vraagt vriendelijk eerst of ze mag bijzitten ja of nee en dit om te vragen hoe content ik ben met de verblijf in de hotel... Zij is ook meertalig en al wat u niet meevalt kunt je daar vertellen en direct opgelost.❗️
De ligging van de hotel ligt just 2 straten parallel achter de beroemde İstiklal caddesi ( ongeveer in het midden van dit beroemde straat heb ik berekend) de hart van Taksim. Ontbijt was ideaal en ook een zeer lieve dame die dit allemaal klaarmaakt en hygiënisch ook.. Ik vond het echt een topreis!!! Niet te grote maar zeer gezellige kamers met wit bedekte meubilaire... heb het sfeer nu al gemist:(
Ik dank iedereen nogmaals strikt en persoonlijk voor dit zeer positief meegevallen reis...
