Everything, a very clean room which is hard to find in istanbul The location is amazing, it is in isteklal street and 10 min to taksim square by walk. Staff were amazing, Mansour helped us to keep our baggage with them for 4 days which is awesome, and Surtan helped us to smoothly check in and check out and answer our questions Room service is amazing as they clean everyday

These are just for info as it didn't bother me much The room is small for couples, they didn't provide water, kettle or iron. If you wanna use the iron u need to use their services There is noise in the evening because of near by bars, it didn't bother me at all, but it bothered my friend a lot, so it depends

For the past year, I have visited Istanbul four times and stayed at many hotels. However, this experience was the best in terms of quality, price, and location. I highly recommend staying at Stay Lab Taksim. The bathroom is spacious, which is rare for hotels in Taksim at this price range. The top floor has a terrace with a beautiful view of the city rooftops, where you can enjoy a coffee and work or study with your books and laptop. During the day, it was very hot and sunny, so I preferred to sit there in the evening hours. They also allowed me early check-in and gave me 1-2 hours of late check-out. Isn't it great? I would also like to mention that the guy at the reception (with glasses and a memorable smile) was very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for this warm experience!

Be aware that there is a bar near the hotel where the music is very loud. Since I can easily fall asleep and loud music is not a problem for me, I was fine. However, for the average person, it might be a bit noisy and difficult to sleep even with the windows closed. Another thing to note is that the room was a bit small, so there was limited space to put my things, and there were only three hangers in the double room for two people. They also do not have a kettle. These are not disadvantages, considering the price and the high quality you receive. Just some remarks to consider when booking this hotel.

Hotel - Good size for a few days stay with a cafe and rooftop seating area Location - Right at Istikal Street so its busy and noisy Cleanliness - Clean beds and bathroom with daily cleaning Service - Good and friendly Value - Great pricing. Drinks at the cafe is okay an dyou can take it to the rooftop Amenities - Wifi connectivity is good Stayed for 5 days 4 nights in this hotel during my trip in Istanbul. Everything is okay except for the noise level. It cant be help since its at Istikal street with noises from clubs, bars and also cars passing by. Not for light sleeper. They forget to provide me breakfats (paid) but the staff are freindly and helpful. Youc na leave you lugguage if you check out early. Lots of restaurants and convenient (walking) to Taksim Square. Definitely will be back again.

Clean and cozy hotel, situated in a very good location, you are in the middle of everything you need! We had a very good time and the staff was great and very friendly! Nice coffee shop at the reception and also the rooftop terrace, where you have a beautiful view of the city. We liked the breakfast also, was fresh and traditional. It was good value for money and it’s located in a very lively area!

Just a bit too noisy at night, especially in the weekends. But I think this is a normal thing, considering the location

The hotel is amazing. I loved the design, and everything in there was new, modern and stylish. I'm rather fastidious to sleep outside of my home, but I had zero problems with living at the Stay Lab Hotel for a fortnight. That is how clean and fresh everything in the room was (special thanks to the cleaning personnel). Needless to say, the location is remarkable as it is on Istiklal Street. The staff were exceedingly polite, understanding and benevolent. Staying at this hotel made my lovely 2 weeks' holiday in Istanbul even better. I'd definitely like to stay there again next time I go to Türkiye.

Located right on the Istiklal street, this is a modern place with boutique interiors. The staff is very friendly, the bed is comfortable, the room was perfectly clean and well equipped. The terrace at the rooftop was an added bonus.

Something you should be ready for if you're looking for a place on the Istiklal is the street noise. The rooms are soundproofed, but you can still hear music until 12:30—1am. Another minor inconvenience is, there's nowhere to put your things. You won't find any shelves or wardrobes, I was struggling to place my belongings in the room.

The room is not big for Turkey standards, but enormous for London or Paris. Very clean. The terrace is amazing and very good for the morning coffee. Staff is friendly and casual. They have good coffee in general, except for one time, but it was probably my taste. The shower is great, bed is good.

You must know that this hotel is situated right at Istiklal street - this is one of the busiest places in Istanbul, so it's noisy. If you are noise sensitive - that's not your place for a relaxing vacation. I personally don't care and I prefer the location more than quietness. Noise is the only thing I didn't like.

It was good value for money. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. As it’s located on one of the main streets in Istanbul, it was easy to have access to the room when required. Staff is very helpful and they have amazing coffee!

Since it’s on the main street it’s a bit loud at night so you can hear disco music until late night however the windows are pretty good and provide atleast 70% noise cancellation. Also, we could smell a lot of smoke in the room at night time. It would be better to get a room at higher floor.

the location was amazing for a first trip in istanbul. also the staff was very nice and helpful and the rooms were very clean and bright. the rooms are not the biggest, but for a short trip it was perfect. also everything seems to be super new. the best thing about the hotel was the roof terrace which is open 24/7 and makes the morning coffee a very calming experience in such a busy city!

the only downside was the noise from the bars and clubs nearby. but again, after walking around the whole day you’ll fall asleep even inside a club. so we didn’t mind.
