Hotel Taksim Home

An excellent hotel, I highly recommend it. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The room is very clean and has all what you need for a comfortable stay. Here you will feel at home. You will NEVER regret making this choice.

First, I would like to thank Orhan. It was the wonderful week in Istambul! Short: + The host and the staff are very friendly, polite, attentive, and caring. + The room is a warm, clean, and comfortable bed, just excellent! + Breakfast simple with personal care. + Good internet. More details: + From the beginning Orhan offers to help to navigate to the Hotel, on your choice: bus, taxi, or transfer. + The hotel also offered to get Istanbulcart for free (for public transport). + They also provided a sim card for a mobile phone, also free of charge. + As it is a small hotel, so they made breakfast at the exact time your choose. So you always stay longer to take extra tea and chat). + Room is clean. And they clean every day. Also, the towels and bedsheets are changed every 3 days. + Rooms can have a kitchen or only kitchen tools. So, if you really want to have a kitchen, so just contact the host to clarify that. + I have to mention that. We rented a room in the basement, but when I arrived, Orhan has a surprise and offered me the room on the 3rd floor (the room is more expensive than in the basement). He said that there is less noise from the road, and it will be more comfortable. + For one night my friend visited Istambul and stayed in our hotel. And Orhan offers my friend the room next to our room, which allowed us to communicate by opening all the doors in the rooms. Thank him very much for this! + We used a transfer from the hotel. The car came on point and delivered us as princesses at the Airport. Highly recommended! Great and comfortable experience!

The hospitality is great, they offered us better room than the one we booked, Orhan actually was super nice, he explained to us everything about districts in Istanbul The hotel is like 5 mins walking to Taksim square Nothing is missing from the rooms and it's super clean and comfortable The hotel is cozy and felt like home :)

Our choice of the Away Suites was based on location and the many excellent reviews that we had read. The location could not be better, a quiet side street just 2 minutes from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street but without the noise and hustle & bustle of this 24 hour city. It’s also just a ten minute walk down to Kabatas ferry and tram stations. There is also a funicular running up and down from Taksim if you don’t fancy the steep climb back again. We had a deluxe room which was well equipped with a small kitchen area including a fridge and electric stove. There are a couple of small supermarkets just across the road which proved to be very handy as we didn’t always want to eat out. The bathroom was fine with fresh towels provided each day and bed linen was also changed every other day. Cleanliness is always very important and we certainly had no complaints in this respect. There is a TV, but with no English language channels, so we were glad that we had brought a Firestick which enabled us to watch Netflix etc. and catch up with the news. The Wi-Fi signal was very good and allowed us to watch movies uninterrupted. There is a small elevator just big enough for two people or one person and a suitcase. We were given a key to the outside door which is locked at night although the lobby is staffed 24 hours a day so we always felt safe. The staff were always friendly and very helpful, and we often stopped for a quick chat with Mr.Orhan, Genghis and Ali the night porter. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice and would highly recommend the Away Suites.
