Perfekt für ein Kurztrip
Ein Mittelgroße, kompakter Hotel mitten auf der Hauptstraße einer 20 Million Metropole.
Wenn sie Ruhe oder sich zurückziehen wollen dann sind sie hier falsch.
Das Hotel befindet sich mitten in Istanbul und dieser Stadt ist dafür bekannt das sie niemals schläft und die İstiklal Straße ist das Mittelpunkt davon.
Das ereichen vom Hotel ist etwas kompliziert da es sich einer hintergasse befindet.
Das Personal hingegen sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Dreadfully disappointing
Nice, friendly staff, and Serene was convenient but cramped and noisy. I mistakenly chose an economy room on the third floor. But the room was so narrow that I had to climb onto the bed from the bottom to get into it. The noise from the street below (close to Istiklal Cad) was loud and went in into the small hours. I was also bitten by mosquitos. I'm used to economical hotels but can't recommend this one. It could only suit students who don't go to bed early. I have stayed in cheaper accommodation in Istanbul which has been far better.

Ekonomik odalar çok ufak
Ekonomik oda olarak verilen oda o kadar ufak ki, çift kişilik yatak odaya zor sığmış. Yatağın iki tarafında duvar var. Çok klostrofobik bi odaydı. Bunun dışında çalışanlar ilgili ve yardımsever. Konum olarak otel istiklal caddesinin üstünde çok güzel bir konumda. Ekonomik oda haricinde diğer odaları tercih etmek kaydıyla tavsiye ediyorum.

Difficult to find but worth value for money
Overall it was good hotel and the most amazing thing was location because it's right in between the Istiklal street. But a major problem we had is to find it by own. It took 1:30 hours to find it because it's inside streets.

In the heart of taksim, a real treasure
I went to serene with a friend and booked a double room. To our luck we got the room with the balcony (which I highly recommend) that looks down on all the busy streets of the shopping streets in taksim. The hotel was lovely, I had no issues whilst I stayed. The only hitch might be that because it's right in the middle of all the commotion from shoppers around taksim and street entertainment right outside the hotel it doesn't quiet down until quite late. If you're looking for a calm and quiet stay in istanbul this might not be the hotel for you, but its convinience to the bars around and transport was a great option for me.

Small room in an alley
Difficult to find the hotel. We took 2 hours to find the hotel as it is located in a small alley with no sign board on the main road. The room is very small.

Zentral & laut
Das Hotel liegt direkt an der Istiklalstraße und somit perfekt! Allerdings ist es deshalb auch recht laut (je nach Zimmerlage). Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!!
