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

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!

great location, friendly staff, ample space in room, really good A/C

The location is so convenient in the middle of Istiklal street, sound proof room so in the same time we didn’t hear the noise of the street and never woke up on any exterior sounds. The room and lobby were so clean, the mat is extremely comfortable you cannot get out of the bed in the morning! Hot water 24h, towels and shampoo/soap available. The fridge/bar was full for a little extras if you need it. Safe place day and night. The Host, Mr. Farouk, is so nice and welcoming, offers help any time. Would definitely stay there another time I visit Istanbul.

I recently stayed at this hotel and I would give it a perfect 10/10! The reception was absolutely fantastic. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which made my stay very enjoyable. Additionally, the hotel's location was excellent, with easy access to the main attractions of the city. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable stay with caring and accommodating staff. I would also like to add a special comment for the receptionist who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. he was incredibly accommodating, helpful, kind, and friendly. he even upgraded our room for the special occasion of my parents' wedding anniversary. It made the experience truly memorable. The hotel's location was also perfect, adding to the overall convenience and enjoyment of our stay. We are extremely grateful for the exceptional service provided by the receptionist and highly recommend this hotel to others.
