The hotel room was good and comfortable. Only bad thing is that they dont clean the room and we had to put all the trash together in a corner. They had AC and a refrigerator which was really good. The breakfast is not buffet like they show in the photos, they give you a plate with breakfast they put. They dont restock paper nor towels nor bed sheets which was a problem for us. The bathroom ejected a horrible smell but if you close the bathroom door it eventually stops. The shower is very comfortable and the bathroom is decent. Only problem of the shower is that the liquid soup had hairs in the bottom of its source, which was a bit disturbing. The room itself its perfect, comfortable, I slept very good. The only problem were those details and the service. But our stay was very pleasant.

Requires a lot of improvements. Not recommended.

Hotel exception st was rather nice, but reluctant to solve issues. Lobby smells bad - feels like something is wrong with sewerage or ventilation. Room was not clean - dusty and sheets had holes.
And judging by water paths on the walls - it probably has fungus. When I asked receptionist about shoe cleaning machine - if it works - they were unable to make it work by connecting into socket.
I am disappointed with this place. We moved to another hotel right after our reservation finished. I would suggest to hotel owners to pay more attention to the cleanliness of their property as well as motivation of their employees to pay attention to costumer's concerns.

Very bad experience

The room is very dirty and the cleaner doesn’t want to clean even when I asked her to do so,and the window without a curtain and I asked them to install one they say they will do but every time I asked them why you didn’t do it they tell me they will do until I checked out they didn’t fixed it the receipt pretended he can’t speak English to ignore the customer

The location was so convenient to the tube station and the breakfast is also enough to start a day.
I was disappointed to see the room because the door to bathroom was broken and could not be closed (they fixed soon) and water from toilet was leaking (they did not fix).

Old building, old furniture, very small rooms, small and not clean bathroom,
Staff barely smile, and don't speak other languages,
The only good thing is the location of the hotel, you just need 2 minutes walk to the bus station.

Right on Taksim

Rooms are clean and cheap, given the area. The staff is fantastic. Everyone is very friendly and most know some English. That being said, they're really very willing to help you practice speaking Turkish. I had some great nights sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette and practising with them.

The staff make this place. Rooms are a bit small, by American standards, but they're clean and comfortable and the internet connection is (barring one day I was there) totally reliable and secured by an off-site provider. In any case, the location is great and I would highly reccomend it to a solo traveler or a couple on a budget.

Very warm and clean room. However, xxx mells of cst litter and tobacco are present.Sippery snow is not cleaned around the hotel, making it dangerous to get to the entrance of the building. Frond desk people vary from super friendly to very rude. Upon check out they refused to give me a copy of my receipt.

Extremely Small

Where to start? First the room! Very small! 3.2x3.2 meters with a double bed and a tiny bathroom. If you are travelling with more than one bag, not a good ideaa. Second the noise! Very noisy, you can here the guests from two rooms talking even when they are not yelling. Also you can hear everything that happens on the street, even when you are at the third floor. Third, the staff! Not even the intention of delivering s good service. Is asked for a direction, they dont know and wont care finding it out for you. If you want a shuttle service to the airport they would say there is only one (Vip shuttle) that costs USD 170, when I got one 3 block away for USD 7. When i asked for a taxi at 5 am, they said there was no one willing to take us for only a few blocks to the shuttle station... I had to carry my bags outside and walk 20 meters to get a taxi on the street. No intention on helping at all. Im sorry I took Expedias suggestion for this hotel.

Value for money

Although not very far from Taksim Square, it was hard to find as not many people knew where it was (not even the taxi drivers or police). Many other local hotels were charging extortionate prices due to being the high season plus a champions league match being played (the purpose of my visit) but I was charged what I considered to be a very fair price, which included (continental) breakfast.

goodlocation,didn't hve to take a taxi frm airport

I was terrified from the hotel reading the reviews, but what it's true;

1. excellent location, 2 min from Taksim sq. I just took the Havatas bus from Ataturk airport (10 TL) and didn't need to take a taxi.

2. Typical 3 stars hotel as in Egypt (not european standard), but so small, only 4 rooms in a floor, very small rooms (i didn't care i just wanted a clean n comfortable place to stay for the nights) would be fine for those who don't seek a great luxury.

3. only the receptionist who knows english, a bit poor english. I overcame this problem with other staff, downloading google translate offline languages( turkish & english) on my tablet, i wrote what i needed in english , it was translated n the turkish staff could read it, and did what i wanted.

4. yes, the street where the hotel is located is narrow and steep, but that's the way most of streets of Istanbul, the city is already eslablished on a hill.

5. to reach the hotel
- make the marmara hotel on your right
- turn right just after marmara
- at the end of this street you'll find Taksim star express hotel

6. the air condition worked properly
the hot water was there all day n night
the room was clean
the wifi worked
the sheets didn't have holes as what it was said in other reviews.

Finally, a good value for the rate paid, and yes i would come again.

hi everyone,the hotel is nice,close to Taksim, the heart of Istanbul, In a narrow half lighted street, but very close to a bus station. the hotel is convenient for a low budget travelers, who are looking for a place to spent night. the breakfast is horrible, the elevator is very small, the beds are 90 cm wide. one the other hand, the rooms are nice and the sheets, toilets and carpets are clean, the bathroom is very small. overall i will use it again if i visited Istanbul for a couple of days stay.

NIGHTMARE !!!!!

Its incredible how the pictures in the internet can easily fool you. First the hotel gave me adirty room with a lot of mold in theceiling of the room, stans in our cover / pillow and swab in the floor .... TERRIBLE !!!! The windows can not close totally and you can hear a lot of noise coming from the streets and sometimes a horrible sewage smell. The mattress is so small and horrible that can not sleep weel and you almost don;t have space to walk in the room because is so small ... you feel that is in a dollhouse. I really do not reccommend to stay in this hotel ... unless if you don't mind about cleaning , noisy and space. The god things is the location near to Taksim Square ... few meters only ... high speed internet and the breakfast is not s bad.... Tks

Rooms are quite small but who wants to stay in room except for sleeping when you are so near from Taksim. The best thing is location, 3 minutes walk from Taksim square and Taksim metro station. Rooms are smaller but clean. Lift is the smallest one I have ever seen and my wife feel suffocation each time we use lift (room was on 7th floor). Breakfast menu is limited but healthy. house keeping is not that good though. I will definitely stay again if Istanbul ever calls us back ;)

If you want to spend your time happily while on tour, this is not the place to stay. First thing I observed is that the rooms are very very small than what I expected seeing their photos. Next is the staff, who are as cheap as porple there and greedy for money and tips. On the top of those, you will have to pay unexpected extra charges and parking fees, everyday. Breakfast had nothing but a piece of bread. I would strongly discourage staying there.

becareful when asking the hotel for help.

I recently stayed here and asked the front desk to help get me a fixed rate taxi to get to the airport (a service they advertise for). I was very clear with which airport I wanted to go to, including showing them my ticket with the name of the airport. However, the taxi ended up taking me to the wrong airport and then charged me $150 to quickly drive me to the correct airport. I called the hotel to ask what had occurred and they were incredibly rude and told me it was my fault and that they didn’t care.
Otherwise the hotel was nothing special and needed several repairs. The sheets had holes, the phone line was dangling off the wall and the toilet had difficulty flushing. Also if I was to go back I would not stay in this area. I would stay closer to the main attractions in old city.

Convenient location two blocks from Taksim Square. The rooms are extremely clean. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Usually at least one person on duty speaks English. The only issues I had were (1) the street it's located on spells like urine; (2) when you ask for tour suggestions, the choices of companies are limited; (3) the rooms have free wi-fi but they have to set up a separate account for each guest, which I had issues with every time I had to log in. Luckily there was someone on staff who could fix the problem each time.

Very noisy at night, as is very close to a fast traffic moving road. Also the walls are non soundproof, they are like paper. Difficult to sleep, if your neighbors are erotic active.

On plus side is location within walking distance of Taksim Square. 300m away from Hotel on Taksim Square you find the Funicular which connects to the tram to the main Tourist hotspots. More conveniently on Taksim Square next to McDonalds are economical + fast Havas bus services to both major airports.
Hotel has all the basic facilities and is safe.
Downside is rooms are cramped and some not so clean. Apart from one member of staff I found a smile hard to come by.

Taksim Star Express Hotel - Near Taksim Square

Bathroom tiles extremely moldy. So moldy that it made showers uncomfortable. Beds are okay, towels are okay, but the shower and bathroom is gross. There is no business center even if the website says they have one. Communication is difficult with front desk and they do not take messages. Our tour company would call and leave pick up times for us but front desk never gave us that information. Family called one day to see how we liked the area and front desk said they could not take a message and that they would have to talk to the manager.

The website also claims a pool and laundry. Taksim Star express does not have a laundry and charge SOOO MUCH for dry cleaning.

Do not stay here.

Close to Taksim, rude staff

The hotel has a convenient location ,but the staff speak very poor English, they are very pushy about selling transfers to the airport at higher prices that need to be. You can negotiate the price with taxis standing one block away at the corner of the Marmara Hotel (35 Liras), or just cross the street and walk to the McDonalds where the shuttle service tot the airport (Havas) is available for 10 Liras. Be very careful about laundry service, I was offer the most economical price of $ 50 US dollars for a small bag of clothing, and they try to raise in Liras by arguing that the exchange changed. I had to be strong by quoting the exchange rate at the time of the agreement.

Good location,

Overall good experience, nice location, I booked single room but i got a twin room so very spacious for my requirement.

If you have got a good deal, this is a good place for your budget (50-60 Euro per night). Metro is close by and so other tourist requirments, coach to airport, nightlife nearby etc....

Only that all historic places are at least 25-30 mins journey via tram and metro.

staff was good but more geared to sell you some tourist attraction tickets. They wanted to sell a map of Istanbul for 10 Lira, which was available free of charge at other places.

Geceleri geri geldiğimde asansör bozuktu, bir özrür bile dilenmedi. 8 kat yukarı yürüdüm, sabahlarıda indim. Kahvaltı ortanın bi tık altı.
