Sometimes Hotel Taksim

Amazing Experience at Sometimes Hotel Taksim – Highly Recommend! Our stay at Sometimes Hotel Taksim was absolutely fantastic, and I can confidently say this is one of the best little hotels I have stayed in! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Taksim, close to Istiklal Street and within walking distance to many key attractions. Despite being so central, the hotel is tucked away on a quiet street, ensuring a peaceful retreat after exploring the vibrant city. Opposite the hotel, you will find a mini market, and just around the corner, there is a pharmacy. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with charming interiors and clean rooms. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the comfortable beds to the bathrooms. The breakfast was a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and offering a great variety to start the day. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional service. Farouk, the manager, was an absolute gem! He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable, helping us plan our days with insider tips. Just listen to him. He gives you little notes that he prints on the spot with places to go and how to get there. His knowledge and warmth made us feel at home. He recommended some hidden gems for dinner and places to shop, and his advice was spot on. If you stay here, don’t miss trying the local food spots he suggests—you’ll discover authentic flavors away from the tourist traps. He also organized transportation for us and gave us detailed guidance on how to navigate Istanbul’s public transport. Sometimes Hotel Taksim truly feels like a home away from home. Thank you, Farouk, and the team for making our visit unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back! Mihalis and Vasia

My experience at the Sometimes Hotel was exceptional. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the area.

Everything was superb, the owner was very friendly and helpful, he even upgraded us to deluxe room for free, we will definitely be coming back!

The hotel is located in a very convenient, central area, very close to Istiklal Street but it's very quiet without the hassle and bustle of the road. The metro station is within 5-7 min walking distance and visitors can find whatever they need just around the corner. The room is spacious enough for two people and very clean. Mattresses are comfortable and the breakfast is very tasty. Faruk (the owner), is very kind and hospitable and helped us a lot during our stay. I strongly recommend this hotel.

My mom and I had an incredible time at Sometimes Hotel in Istanbul. The location was super ideal, making it easy for us to explore the city’s attractions during our short stay. The location is also close to the tunnel and ferries. A lot of nice places to eat in a very close distance. For example, breakfast cafe Yigit Sofram or restaurant for tasty dinner (Mahkeme Lokantasi). The owner was exceptionally friendly, ensuring we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The facilities were superb, and our room was cleaned daily, leaving it smelling fresh and tidy. It was also super warm with heating on. We enjoyed our time at Sometimes Hotel and plan to return in the future. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Istanbul. Central and not noisy at all.
