Bad, Very Very Bad Stay

Rate is Fake. Bad, Very Bad stay. Give 10$ more and stay in much better conditions. At least get a normal breakfast, normal size room without smelling. I don't know how it is rated 4,4. Don't believe the rate, actual rate should be no more than 1,5. Make yourself something good and believe what I write here. Again, give 10$ more and stay under conditions.

Hidden Gem - Centrally Located

This place was fantastic! Small narrow five-story hotel in the “new city” section of Istanbul on the European side. Old world charm with modern updates. Roof top terrace with partial view of the city and the Golden Horn. On a quiet narrow street, but close to everything Istanbul has to offer: Galata Tower is less than a 10 minute walk, Istiklal Street, with all its shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants is a 5+ minute walk, while Taksim Square is maybe a 20 minute walk. Located right off Refik Saydam Blvd, which is a main thoroughfare for a quick cab ride to another part of the city (old city less than 15 minutes away). I had the economy room, which was small and compact, but clean and tidy. Bathroom was new. Had I known, I would have spent a few extra bucks and got the larger room facing the street (next time). The staff was incredible! This is owner occupied and operated, which makes a difference. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. Breakfast included, fruits, juices, breads and pastries, cereals, cheese, and if you ask, the kitchen lady will make you an omelette! This is not a big fancy corporate American style hotel - It’s comfortable, economical, and centrally located. I really enjoyed my stay.

Practical but lacks personality at the moment

Stayed for one night. Conveniently close to Sishane metro, but on a rather empty street. If only the hotel would put a little more effort into personalizing the room with artwork, colorful bedding, etc. My standard room had a comfortable bed, light-blocking curtains, clean and relatively large bathroom, and relative quiet on a Saturday night, but was totally devoid of personality. I didn't mind, but the room was also very small and had an exit door. Overall, the room is probably fine for a business traveler, but a tourist would probably like something more. Breakfast was fine: cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, boiled egg, bread, and jam, with free tea and extra charge (2 lira) filter coffee. The woman in charge of the kitchen was friendly. The concierges were friendly but they were confused about the mode of payment, and also weren't there when I was checking out. The roofdeck was a nice touch. I would consider coming back if it becomes less anonymous looking

Hidden gem in Istanbul.

I feel as if we found a little gem with Big Urban Stay Istanbul. We got a suite room in the annex with a gorgeous view of the Golden Horn. Perfect for sunrises and sunsets. It's simply furnished but comfortable. I find the bed a bit too hard but I still get a good night's sleep. The staff here are all very helpful and delightful to talk to. They gave us lots of tips about what to visit. I would recommend this hotel.

Very close to the shopping strip

Very pleasant stay for 7 night at this place , staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean.close proximity to all major attractions. Only a metro ride away from airport . Only thing I had problem with was breakfast, same thing ( cheese , bread , watermelon, ...) every day . Everything else was great and I highly recommend this place to stay.

Very clean central location.

Well, i have chosen this hotel based on people reviews.. my own experience would agree would most them... The room was very clean, and I am quite fussy when it comes to hygiene and cleanness. The location is perfect since it's only 5min walk to Shishan's metro station. Staff? staff are brilliant. Really nice and helpful people.. I would particularly thank the young lady that looks after the roof in the morning. The back street is a bit run down but it has nothing to do with the hotel. The hotel is modest overall but the cleanness and the condition is defiantly make it a very attractive place to stay. I would highly recommend this place.

Nice Hotel, very friendly Staff. near Metro Station Sheshane, located in a side street, no view from the windows, i recommend to close the curtains all the time, the terrace is lovely with a view to the Besphorus , but a little bit tiny. overall it was nice, affordable and near public transportation.

Wir mussten unfreiwillig wechseln

Als wir ankammen wurden wir nett empfangen und konnten unser Zimmer dank Lift einfach und schnell beziehen. Die Zimmer sind aber sehr sehr klein, für eine Städtereise bei der man sowieso nicht viel im Hotel ist aber sehr geeignet. Sehr sehenswert ist die Dachterasse mit wunderschönem Blick auf das goldene Horn. Dort zu frühstücken ist sehr empfehlenswert. Leider fiel ab dem ersten Tag unseres Aufenthalts aufgrund eines kaputten Kabels der Strom aus. Wir hielten zwei Juli-Nächte ohne Klimaanlage und Licht durch, beschlossen aber aufgrund der schleppenden Reperaturarbeiten der Stadt das Hotel zu wechseln. Das Personal tat uns sehr leid, da sie nichts für das Problem konnten. Auch gaben sie in der Situation ihr Bestes, verteilten jede Menge Kerzen am Abend, informierten immer über den Stand der Reperaturen und waren sehr entgegen kommend bei der Rückerstattung der schon bezahlten Buchung. Trotz der Vorkommnisse ein schönes und empfehlenswertes Hotel mit äusserst freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal.

Ruhiges Hotel in Galata

Ich wohnte in einem Istanbuler Stadthaus, das zum Hotel umgebaut worden war. Stilvoll und originell ausgebaut. Mein Zimmer war klein, aber extrem ruhig obwohl der Istiklal nur ein paar Blöcke entfernt ist. Die Rezeptionistin gab mir Tipps, wo ich traditionelle Kinos finden konnte. Im Keller war die Küche, wo man mit anderen Gästen an einem großen Tisch sitzen konnte. Oder aber man ließ sich das Frühstück auf einem Tablett geben und fuhr mit dem Fahrstuhl in den sechsten Stock um es auf dem Dach bei einem herrlich Blick über die Stadt auf das goldene Horn und die Moscheen zu genießen. Wunderbar. Absolut zu empfehlen.

Simpelt, smuk tagterrasse, god service og velfungerende indretning. Et af de dejligste billige hoteller i Istanbul. Selve gaden er lidt gemt og skummel, men det gør ikke det store. Pera og Sishane er 100 meter derfra.
