The apartment is nice and clean, and have all of the basic necesseties. Cleaning service is very good, it is on everyday basis. The hosts are nice and friendly and were available 24/7. The area was quite safe during our stay. There are bus stop and metro in 10-minute-walk distance. There are also good shops and cafes nearby that are open all day long.

However, there are some disadvantages related to the location, though it may be true for many parts of Istanbul. It is a quite steepy area, so if you need to reach popular touristic attractions/public transport, you have to climb approximately 50 m incline (in equivalent). The streets are also quite littered in that area. It is also may be very noisy at night because of the motocyclists and the mosque right next to the place.

The room was big. The place is near Taxim square but have in mind you have to climb if you want to reach the touristic places. The quarter is interesting, you can feel the local way of living. It looks safe. The streets are lighted and there are people till late in the evening. There are small shops and places for eating around open till late in the evening. There is a mosque next to the place and have in mind there is singing each morning at 5 o'clock with loud speakers.

The budget studio is on -2. There is something like a small yard in front of the room and a big window. But there was an unpleasant smell of canal and moisture in the corridor and the bathroom. If you keep the door of the bathroom closed it can be ok. I complained for the smell but they did not care at all. The room is good but getting shabby. The drain of the the shower gets clogged , the tiles are cracked. There was holes in the towels. The good thing there are changed each day.

The hotel was great, and we got what we paid for: a good studio with one large bed and one single bed, a fridge, kitchen essentials (spoons, dishes, and many other things), a TV, a wardrobe, an air conditioner, and many other amenities. The bathroom was great. The reception staff were extremely polite, especially the young guy who works the night shift—he was always smiling and super polite. He is one of the best people we met in Istanbul. The hotel was very quiet, comfortable, and peaceful. Overall, I loved it. Everything was super clean. The hotel is very near Taksim Square, about a 5-minute walk, and also near the metro station, also about a 5-minute walk. There are restaurants and a grocery shop right next to the hotel. I recommend it for families and couples; you will love it. I just want to let people know that the street where the hotel is located is a traditional Turkish street. It is totally safe, and the people there are very polite. The majority of people in the area are Turkish, so it's not like those business streets full of buildings and 5-star hotels. It’s a modest, traditional street, but everyone is polite, helpful, and most importantly, it's super safe.

Excellent

That is an excellent aesthetic design. It looks fresh, new and top quality in every detail - expensive doors and windows with perfect sound insolation, a comfortable bed, a place to work with a laptop, perfect wi-fi, kitchen facility, and silent air conditioning in the very right place. Windows with maskit mesh. Good strong and warm shower. Fantastic service - free late take-in, shampoo, towels. No any uncomfortable smells, sounds other distractions. Perfect location - Direct bus line from the airport; Million markets, cafes, and shops around. I take off my hat to the one who organized all this and managed to foresee it.

Room was clean and big

Was close to taksim square but a little further than I thought, would struggle if you are disabled as the road is very steep and not really any pathway

The cleanliness was excellent.

The call to prayer from the next door mosque was very loud and annoying, it woke me up very early every morning.

What I liked the most was its hospitable,helping and responsible host (Mr. Siamak) who made our stay very comfortable. He is always available and provide you with any information about the city and even some stuffs that you may need as much as he can. Besides, our suit was really clean and they have daily cleansing services.

Although it’s location is convenient and near to the city center, it is located at the end of a high slope alley making it annoying for carrying suitcases unless you take a taxi to get there.

During our stay in Terra Suites staff did a great job with keeping room clean and well equipped by doing daily housekeeping. Our place had all of the necessary stuff, very spacious and quiet. At reception we were always greeted with smile and politeness at any time of the day, whether it was 4am or 4pm. Location is very straight forward to reach from Taksim Square which turned out to be an excellent place to stay at for our 5 nights visit in Istanbul. Plenty of attractions nearby and very accessible public transit to reach any part of the city. Definitely would stay here again. On top of that Siam, the receptionist who checked us in during a quite late-night arrival, was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making our stay all the more enjoyable. There were not communication problems whatsoever.

The staff are amazing and helpful and genuinely great people. The one in charge of the night shift in particular is a gem of a person and was truly helpful every step of the way. The location is really good. Many places to visit in taksim and around it. Close proximity to public transportation. And more food than you could ever get tired of

The slope was probably the most arduous part of the area both to go to the hotel and other places. But on the long term it shouldn't impact your experience.

Excellent value for money. Location not too far from Taksim Square. Nearby supermarkets Bim and Carrefour. Nearby Turkish restaurants. Access to basic kitchen facilities.

Bathrooms need to be upgraded, there were basic and had no extractor fans. Kitchen utensils could be better quality.
