Excellent location 30 meters from Taksim Square and the main pedestrian street Istiklal. Bright and beautiful rooms that have everything you need. A good option to stay in the city center if you are planning walking tours and sightseeing. Nearby there is the Galata Tower, the bridge from which ferries depart to the Bosphorus and much more.

The location in the center also dictates its disadvantages. In the morning, the mosque will wake you up with a call to prayer. At night, you are not allowed to sleep by the sounds of the street where life is boiling 24/7. Therefore, if you want to relax in silence, this is not your option. We walked 20k steps a day and slept great. There are signs of wear in the room itself. The socket may fall out of the wall or mold may be found in the corner of the shower.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this hotel truly deserves an exception. Located right in the heart of Taksim, just steps away from the metro and bus stations, the location is simply perfect. I booked a 34 m² suite for 10 days and informed the hotel that it was for our honeymoon. To my surprise, they went above and beyond with a beautiful romantic decoration, the suite was filled with fresh, colorful flowers and small candles. The suite itself was very clean, spacious, and decorated in an attractive traditional Turkish style, which made the atmosphere even more special and charming. It included a kitchen with all the necessary amenities, a hot water shower with excellent pressure, and a panoramic view from two balconies and large windows overlooking the Taksim Mosque. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. And the price? Absolutely unbeatable for the value provided. Highly recommended and without a doubt, we’ll be coming back!

Location was very good, ideal for someone who is on holiday. M2 line is a few minutes walk and connects to all the major attractions. Staff are really friendly and very helpful, they will advise which tours that match your budget to go for and arrange pick up and drop off. The cleaning staff are really friendly and trustworthy, they came every second day and cleaned the room, never to touch any of our personal belongings. Hotel is very close to a busy high street, you can find all the top brand and theres really nice places to eat. There's a brilliant restaurant across the road, that has food to suit most budgets, also a off licence which is open till late. I would highly advise anyone to stay here if they are on holiday as it a perfect location to be. You can get to most places really quickly using the metro and price is really good value.

The only thing I didn't like was that there was no washing facilities for your cloths. But there is a dry cleaners just up the road. This is not the hotels fault as space for them is a issue.

Extremely friendly, helpful staff and beautiful rooms. The location of the hotel worked really well for our stay and we truly enjoyed our time in Istanbul. From the booking process to organising airport shuttle services and checking in/out, the staff of IQ Hotel did absolutely everything to ensure we had a positive experience.

The only thing that could perhaps be an issue is the volume outside the hotel, as it is located on a very busy street, in the middle of a very busy part of the city, meaning: loud music and loud voices until late at night. We were aware of this, however, and prepared accordingly by bringing earplugs or going out at night ourselves :)

Cute little hotel in the middle of the action. The front desk man was great.... he allowed me to check in early, and I also mistakenly checked out late (I had a doctor appointment that went way later than it was supposed to), to which I am very grateful for this accommodation. The room was clean, and very 'renaissance' style. Next to lots of bars and food, and a stone throw from Istiklal street for shopping.

Nothing

The staff is really amazing especially Mr. Hyder and the hotel location is great .

Room size and noisy neighbour hood

the location, rooms so boutique type althou tiny but cosy. I loved my stay here as centrally located.

We stayed at this hotel last year and we knew we had to do it again , the staff is amazing and helpful specially Burak ❤️ , rooms are good and clean , and whenever we needed anything they would directly help us... Thank you for an unforgettable experience IQ Hotel 😉❤️

Location + good value

Noisy at night

Very friendly and helpful staff. 10/10 cleanliness. Excellent location.

Only thing to be aware of is that the area is full of night clubs and is very busy and noisy at night. That didn't pother me anyway as I stay up late during holidays. But if you're someone who goes early to bed, might not be for you. Still excellent location from Taksim, very clean, and staff are very helpful.
