Isle Otel

It was very close to the main street, perfect location. Very nice breakfast, price for value 10/10. We met the manager of the hotel at the breakfast restaurant (it is the restaurant on the other side of the street), who was very friendly and helpful. Check out is until 12 so the last day could be also used well at the hotel. The bathroom facilities didnt have the u-trap (odor trap) and it smelled not so good in the bathroom. Although we aired the room the whole day, during the night the windows were closed and the bathroom started to smell bad again. It was clean clearly, but a U-trap would be needed. Unless everything was nice.:)

The location was superb! The staff was awesome, especially Mert who embodies Turkish hospitality. He is very welcoming, accommodating and helpful in every sense. He is like a one stop shop of kindness. We loved our stay at Isle Hotel except for the bathroom reeks.

The place was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. Location was convenient. Mert was a great host-friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. Check-in was smooth. I'll definitely come back. Highly recommended!

The staff at the hotel were incredibly kind and attentive, making me feel truly cared for throughout my stay. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of everything. Breakfast was excellent, and the overall experience was simply fantastic. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s rest. I would highly recommend Isle Hotel to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Turkish hospitality and the vibrant atmosphere of Istiklal. The bathroom could use a bit of maintenance and minor renovations, but nothing that affected the comfort or enjoyment of our stay

Mostly everything The toilet lid keeps falling off

The staff across the road at Ada were also wonderful, especially our waiter Sajit (sorry if the name spelling is incorrect). He was an absolute delight Could be a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights however if you make sure the windows are shut properly that helps

A great budget hotel. The owner went out of his way to be helpful and make it a great stay. The breakfast is very good, and they even allowed us to mix it up a little since we were staying 4 nights. The location is very convenient, just off Istiklal Street and a few minutes walk to Tunel funicular and Sishane metro stations. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. Since it just off Istiklal Street, it was a little noisy at night but it didn’t bother us. There is one flight of stairs to the small elevator and you have to go a half flight up or down from the elevator to reach your room, so it isn’t a good option for someone with mobility issues.

The room was nice and big for the price. There was a restaurant/club just below the room that turned the volume up at midnight until 3am. It was impossible to sleep as with closed windows it was still too loud. This happens every day of the week.

The location and the breakfast that was served in the restaurant across the street. In a 5-nights stay, we didn‘t have electricity for a day and a half, no water for a night and no wifi many times during the stay. The hotel confirmed to me a partial refund through Booking, but more than a month later they are still playing around and haven’t released the payment.

comfort was not good and bathroom

I had an excellent stay at Isle Hotel Istanbul. The hotel itself is stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located. What truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional service provided by the manager, Mert—professional, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile. The breakfast was also outstanding, offering a delicious and varied selection that exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul! Stairs (if you are afraid of elevator).

Exceptional

The location is about as good as it gets for walking around the most desirable parts of Istanbul old city center. Rooms are modern, freshly renovated, with good mattresses. Bathroom has nice modern fixtures, wifi is fast and reliable, and the mini fridge is a nice touch too, especially for the price. Ada restaurant next door is owned by the same people and is excellent in every way. Yes, there is some audible latenight club music, but nothing that can't be masked by turning the air conditioner fan on high. Also, the water pressure in the shower can fluctuate, but I found this to be less of a problem by showering at "off peak" times of day. There is a mild lingering sewage odor in the bathroom, but this too is to be expected in the oldest part of a literally ancient city like Constantinople (aka Istanbul).

Superb

I stayed at this hotel in April and had a wonderful experience. The location was fantastic - just steps away from a historic street, making it easy to explore the city’s rich culture and attractions. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations or any requests. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated, providing a relaxing atmosphere after a day of sightseeing. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. Great location, friendly service, and a pleasant stay

Great basic hotel in an excellent location. Room was clean. Greta value for money. The breakfast was amazing! There was some noise / music from the street at night.
