The servers at the restaurant exemplified hospitality at its best, ensuring every meal was a delightful experience. However, it was the 23sqm room that took my breath away, offering a mesmerizing view of the Bosphorus and the bridge. The cleanliness of the room was unparalleled; I have never felt more comfortable and at ease, thanks to the meticulous housekeeping. Special praise goes to Sinan, whose knowledge and passion truly enhanced my stay, adding a special value that I will always remember. The hotel's commitment to storytelling and creating a unique guest experience is commendable.

I had an amazing stay at Lokalist, Istanbul, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue, but also in the quiet part. The rooms are beautifully designed with comfortable beds, modern amenities and even complimentary soft drinks at minibars. I particularly enjoyed the stunning Bosphorus views from my room. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more pleasant. The on-site restaurant served delicious breakfast. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to return!

Everything - rooms were great, location excellent, staff were excellent, we stayed on two separate occasions and will be back

Would be great to have the ability to stream from our device for Netflix etc as we couldn’t get it to work, but this is nitpicking.

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The hotel’s prime location, just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue, made it ideal for exploring the city’s vibrant life. Our room was a blend of modern elegance and local charm, offering a stunning view of Gezi Park and Taksim Square. The bed was so comfortable.The staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay special. They provided excellent recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems around the city. The breakfast buffet was delicious with many local ingredients.

Exceptional Turkish-style breakfast, with a wide variety of meze and an abundace of fresh fruits. Staff did an excellent job catering to all our needs: we asked for extra matresses for our kid's crib, extra pillows, they even brought baby-care products without us even asking! I cannot stress enough how convenient hotel's location is: sitting at the edge of Taksim square, you can use metro, buses, cable car down to the Kabatas, or just walk on the crowded Istiklal street. I will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone who's travelling to Istanbul!

The staff were the best I have ever encountered in my visit to Istanbul. The management did very well in selecting every single staff at this hotel. Devriman and Serdem were the best recipients professionally they were off the charts, very friendly, spoke excellent English and very welcoming people. The hotel itself was super clean, breakfast was simple but of high quality. Every single staff was extremely friendly and professional. The room was simple but nicely decorated. Loved the place!

Nothing

The location is perfect. The room is large and comfortable. Smart home control panel for lights, curtains and air conditioning. The staff are very polite. Good breakfast and excellent coffee. The safe in the room is big enough to fit a laptop.

No brushes in the toilet. This can cause an uncomfortable situation, if there is more than one person staying.

Everything was amazing! The staff were incredibly kind, respectful, and helpful. The hotel was spotless, very modern, and perfectly located, making everything easily accessible. My son loved it so much that he didn’t want to leave the hotel. The breakfast was delicious and well-organized. In short, we loved our stay at the Lokalist and are eagerly looking forward to our next visit.

Excellent choice for anyone to stay in Istanbul . Very well located and superb hospitality !

Everything was perfect 🤩

Comfortable and value for money. Convenient location. Minutes away from Istiklal street and Taksim square.

Said 5 stars when I booked it but I don’t think it’s part of the luxury class hotels.
