Good budget hotel

The location is good, however far from the main historical places such as the Bazaar, Blue Mosque and others and taxis are a bit difficult and they want to charge too much.
The hotel is comfortable, breakfast is plentiful and fresh, the staff specially Firat and Alli are true gentlemen, I felt safe and very comfortable.
I did find Cuneyt the receptionist too pushy to try to sell us tours and book our taxi, it was a bit too much and made us uncomfortable.
It is a budget hotel, close to the plaza, shops and easy to get around, I would stay there again.

Need a lesson in Hospitality

We checkin in very late at night. The night receptionist was very nice but there was a mix up with our room and at first they put us in a basement. We took a walk, got back and he apologetically asked us to move rooms. ugh .. ok. The next morning the very senior manager demanded that we change rooms, when I informed him that we were inconvenienced the night before he literally got in my face ( ? ) angry and said ... \" So what ? \" .. we ended up leaving.... The owners shouldn't be running a touristic hotel. Its more like a car repair shop.

The best thing in this hotel is the receptionist Mr Abdullah he is so kind and helpful person.
The area is not to good for families.
The hotel is near Taksim square and bars, nightclub so couldn’t slept during my 6 days stay in this hotel because of drunks people shouting,fighting at 3 am 4 am.
And to many scammers in this area so take care.
Room and and bathroom was too small.
The bedsheets was old and was not so clean. They should buy new bedsheets really needed.

Ruined days

I booked a hotel for 10 days, but I couldn't stand there even 2 days. I had a Comfort+ room for 2 people, but you won`t feel any comfort. The rooms are very small, read by tobacco smoke in everything in the room. There are no chairs or hangers in the room. The refrigerator is not working. Wardrobe with 3 broken hangers in a size for a child. Breakfast was brought to my room in the evening, and by morning you already had a plate of spoiled food. I couldn't get any tea or coffee even for an extra money. 24/7 you will hear every sound even behind a closed window. Also in the windows you will see all the neighbors opposite. The elevator is so noisy that it is difficult to sleep at night. I do not advise anyone to stay at this hotel.

taxi was 100 TL from IST ( March 2019 )
taxi to Grand Bazaar 20 TL, taxi back at peak hour is bit more as long as heading right direction otherwise triple cost

very close to Istikial street and Taksim Square....slightly seedy late at night but that could be my imagination....close to lots of local food fare and beer bar places. keep your wallets safe when you are out in crowded tourist zones IMHO

lovely lovely hotel staff ...both at reception desk and breakfast lady etc, clean room but very weak hot water pressure
convenience store end of the street...60meters approx

I was on the 5th floor with lovely balcony....compact lift only goes to 4th..you have to cart luggage up a flight of stairs....

brekky served 830-10ish....cereals/oats etc plus cold cuts plus 3 cooked items incl hard boiled eggs...basic coffee/tea..no complaints considering the bucks

party sounds can be heard till late

HOJO basic comfort but tiny, clean, comfy for bucks and friendly

The location of this property is great. Very close to Taksim square and the subway. Nevizade str. is whitin the walking range and is a great place to have an authentic Turkish fine dining. Also there are many shopping centers, cafes and restaurants in this area. The hotel staff are very friendly and would like to offer their help any time.

Nice hotel in the vicinity of pubs and shops

The hotel is relatively new. It’s small but size is quite okay for short stay. It’s a plus that the owner was kind enough to offer us free breakfast on the day we arrived early at the hotel. We also had an early check-in, which was a great help for us to refresh before going out for tour.
At night the vicinity is very loud and noisy as expected because of the clubs/pubs. Good thing there was enough sound proofing in the room so we still got to sleep fairly well at night.
It’s also walking distance to Istiklal street where you will find lots of shops around.

En general es un hotel económico y bien ubicado pero no sé si es política del hotel, de las personas que trabajan o del propio país, pero no me dejaron subir a la habitación con una persona adulta como yo y conocida. Me dió la impresión que se me discriminaba porque la persona era de mi mismo sexo. Esto nunca me había pasado en ningún hospedaje de los que he visitado, por lo que nunca mas volveré ni recomendaré este local

Nattemareridt - torturhøjt støj hele natten!

Bondefangeri af værste skuffe: ved ankomst fik jeg besked om, at der desværre ikke var et ledigt værelse alligevel!!! Men de havde 3-4 andre hoteller lige rundt om hjørnet med “dejlige” værelser. Det viste sig, at være lokaler som prostituerede anvender!!! Jeg tænkte at det er jo bare én overnatning så det overlever jeg nok - men kl. 22 startede diskotek med en overdøvende karm som varede til kl. 4 om morgen. Det er det værste hotelophold jeg nogensinde har oplevet - det var ren tortur!!! Undgå for guds skyld dette hotel!

Uzak durmanız gereken bir otel

Maxwell otel diye aldığım tek gecelik hizmeti muhtemelen otelde yer olmadığı için başka bir otele aktardılar ve diğer gittiğim otelde de temizlik ve gürültü problemi yaşadım. Bir de akşam dışarı çıkacakken otelin kapısı kitliydi ve 40 dk görevlinin gelmesini bekledim dışarı çıkmak için. Kesinlikle önermiyorum.

Stay away!

We stayed 12 nights.

The hotel is centrally located near to the main street with shopping and stores closeby. But be aware that this place is also in the middle of the street where people unfortunately sell themselves. Also located next to clubs that play loud music until 5 am every night. Fights and shouting was to be seen and heard in the streets almost every day.

Also they want you to pay extra for everything. They told us that the room category that was booked unfortunately was not available, but that they would upgrade us for free. For 4 nights. But after that we had to pay 100 lira more per night if we wanted to stay in the same room. After a lot of stress the \"check out date\" we were told that we could stay in the room, but only if we gave good reviews on this site and others. We agreed. We had friends coming from a different city and booked their own room. They had to pay 100 extra to get a balcony, but they claimed that they had booked with a balcony. Also if you wanted to have outside guests to the room you had to pay 100 lira. After a long discussion with the staff were we confronted them by the fact that we already had paid for 2 people in the room and we sadly assumed that they put all the extra liras in their own pockets. They also woke my friend up 8 a clock in the morning and demanded him to change his room due to the discussion the evening before.

Cleaning was terrible. Never changed the bed.

Awesome service, but the place is to be renovated

Happy about the location and splendid service in terms of literally feeling the hospitality if the hotel's team. The drawback would be that the rooms are literally tine, even the delux option, we opted for this time. Besides a little renovation is overdue.
