Close to most attraction sites at the middle of Taksim square , Galata tower and heart of istikal Street. Close to ST Anthony Church which is only a few steps away, that's the main reason I chose this property, it was really accommodating to me going to my daily mass and prayer. Close to public transportation Metro station Sishane station is only 2-3 minutes away by walking distance, surrounded by lots of shops lots and restaurants. Our room was on the second level for 1 night and 3 nights on the fourth floor, the reception guy Mesh helped us move up our pieces of luggage to our room on both respective days, and he was kind enough to follow up on our day of check-in and guide us to the property which made us felt welcome. He even offered us an airport transfer option. Check-in was smooth! On our last day, the reception guy named Riza made the arrangements for our airport transportation. He was kind enough to help us and guide us to the van, even he finished off the shift, he helped us carry our luggage to the main street and waited for us until the transportation arrived. The housekeeper lady cleaned up our room every day and stocked up fresh new clean towels and drinking water for our stay every day. The only cons of the property were busy and noisy from neighboring clubs and pubs; however, the property was occupied with soundproof curtains and blinds to minimize the noise. Thank you for accommodating us, our stay was really a pleasant one!

Location is amazing. Right on the busy street. Riza was on reception most of the time during our stay and was very helpful. We had the room with the view of the street (no balcony) and the room above with a balcony. Both were lovely. There is noise from the street, clubs at night but not horrendous. I always travel with my ear plugs which shut it out. There is no lift to rooms so no good if you have walking difficulties but we didn't have an issue with that. Would happily stay here again.

Nothing to dislike. All good.

usually i used to avoid to comment but the exceptional response of Mr. Mohammed the property manager forced me to respond. his hospitality, flat’s aesthetics, extra care of us, even picking up our bags on his own shoulder, location ….. i shall stay here again either i’m with family or on a solo trip.

i tried but couldn’t

I initially booked only 4 days on a 9-day visit to Istanbul, with the intention to maybe explore Turkey a little - during my first 4 days at Magnova, I wanted to stay longer in Istanbul. Omesh was extremely accommodating and helpful in finding me another hotel for 2 nights so that I could return to Magnova Studios for the rest of my stay. My stay in Istanbul was an amazing experience with the contribution of the staff at Magnova Studios. The service and care I received are attributes you will not find in larger group hotels. The staff are patient, kind, and professional and apply such a personal touch that my stay felt like home away from home. I was well catered for. Omesh and Sonia were extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable while staying at their hotel. Staff are always available and attentive. I travel a lot and in all my years of travel, I have not met amazing staff at any hotel before like I have at Magnova Studios. Muhammed went out of his way to manage my entertainment (dinner cruise, shuttle,etc.) and massage bookings. He assisted me with directions and advice and carried my bags so that I was never for a minute left to feel inconvenienced or uncomfortable with my luggage. Mohammed Riza is so friendly and so caring as well. Always concerned about my safety and checking on me if I required anything. Riza's restaurant suggestion was one of the highlights of my trip. The room was extremely comfortable and spacious with all that you would need for a visit to Istanbul. Loved having an aircon to manage the extremely high temperatures of Istanbul. The hotel is situated perfectly for someone who would enjoy one of the most lively streets of Istanbul, convenient shopping (stores open till late), alot of eating establishments within very close walking distance and public transport is easily accessible.

The location was really good.

It would have been great if they had a elevator as it was quite a walk up to the room. Not suitable for old people or people with knee injuries.

The hotel was very good, helpful staff, the place very central and you had everything around you I would choose it if I were in the city again 

The street is quite noisy, but you justify because of the point.The only thing that needs improvement is the breakfast it is not commensurate with the price

Right on Istiklal. Close to Tram Close to Metro Walking Distance to Galata Tower Reza the receptionist was exceptionally helpful with everything, including our bags (no lift on property)

Just note the following: You’ll need help from reception or shuttle/taxi driver with your bags to the hotel (taxis aren’t allowed on Istiklal street) There’s no lift for elderly or disabled The nightclub a few doors down can be heard all through the night in summer through soundproofing (soundproofing works for the street noise though) The nightclub music played till 4am very loudly.

My sister and I stayed for 5 nights in the Studio with Turkish Bath, and we absolutely loved it! The apartment beautifully blends the charm of a historical building with modern design. The beds were large and incredibly comfortable, and we appreciated having separate sleeping spaces. The living room and kitchen were spacious, and the bathroom was stunning. We also enjoyed the balcony, which overlooks charming Turkish restaurants. The thoughtful touches, like plenty of bottled water, towels, shampoo, tea bags, and daily cleaning service, made our stay even better. Riza, the manager, was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The location couldn't have been more perfect!

Nothing

This hotel was centrally located to all Istanbul has to offer. Its an easy walk to most areas. The rooms were great, quite spacious and having the balcony was lovely. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff were very helpful and always willing to help with bags and reservations for activities. Thank you to Reza for assisting with our departure by bringing our bags down and checking that our driver was coming on time.

The nightclub two doors down is very noisy until all hours of the night (5am) everynight but this was solved with earplugs so if you are a light sleeper consider having some handy. I did have to wash the glasses before they could be used as the hadn't been cleaned. Not a big deal but not great. The stairs are a lot but to be expected in a beautiful old building. If you have issues with stairs maybe opt for a lower floor.

The room has a beautiful energy and an amazing view. For the first night, I had to book another place across the street, as Magnova Studios was fully booked. I must say, moving to Magnova from a similarly priced room was a pleasant surprise—I was very happy and impressed. The view of Istiklal Street is stunning; while it’s not entirely quiet, I didn’t find it noisy at all. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and they provided bathrobes, fresh towels, and everything else I needed. It was an amazing stay.

The only challenge was that the building has no elevator, but getting a workout for your glutes even on vacation isn’t a bad thing, haha!
