Joyce from Canada (9/10)
Where can I even start… I am already planning to go back to this hotel for my next visit. Clean, comfortable, convenient, neat EVERYTHING, safe and the list goes on and on. I felt like I was at home and was even sad to check out. İstiklal street is the place to be because it moves, there’s always people and everything around I went shopping at 2am !!! I barely had to contact the hotel, Wi-Fi, shower, AC, Netflix everything was PERFECT ! I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved my hotel. TAKE ME BACK
Allison from United States (8/10)
Great location and was quiet despite it being on a loud street. Being on the top floor helped. Appreciate the equipped kitchen.
Hani from Lebanon (9/10)
We are frequent visitors to Istanbul, and this is easily one of the best places we have stayed at.
The room was very comfortable and spacious, and fully equipped. Ms. Vera was so supportive throughout, and ensured that our stay was very smooth, from arrival through to departure.
The location is excellent, and various modes of public transport are so easy to access.Mayank from Australia (8/10)

Jenni from Australia (8/10)
Upside apartments were great – clean, comfortable and Bosporus view as advertised! Beds are comfy, bathroom spacious, great to have a kitchen and washer/dryer. Right on the main shopping street with so many restaurants nearby to choose from! Vera was super helpful and arranged an early check in for us so we could sleep after the long trip from Australia! We had no trouble finding the place or checking in. Security was great and I loved the convenience of the digital keys.
Adam from Australia (9/10)
It was very clean, modern, secure and very comfortable with modern amenities. Beautifully fresh with lots of light, but great blinds when you needed sleep.
Archana from India (8/10)
We stayed on the 4rth floor which was one floor below the top floor. The location of the apartment is superb. Right below you have access to shopping, cafes and restaurants. The apartment was very clean and well kept. Vera was super helpful and prompt in her replies. We even got a late checkout till 2pm. Smooth check in via a key through an app.
