I was booked in the new section of the hotel. It was notable clean. I arrived early morning and the let me checked in (upon availability). The soundproof was superb, I felt as I was the only guest in the floor. What I didn't like someday the cleaning of the room wasn't that good. Finally, the breakfast need to be developed.

1. Great stay — clean, quiet, and excellent value! 2. Highly recommended! Clean, quiet, and well-located. 3. Perfect choice for a comfortable and hygienic stay. 4. Impressed by the cleanliness and quality! 5. One of the best stays — hope the quality stays the same.

great location just off taksim square, room was superb (small balcony overlooking main street) bed super comfy with great pillows and good air conditioning. Bathroom uber modern with toilet with intrgral bidet, room cleaned daily and bottled water supplied and put in fridge in room. clever "smart" lighting and an electronic system to show when you wanted room cleaned or "do not disturb" on the outside of your room. Breakfast was great from salads/cheeses/fruit and cereal all the way to cooked foods including fluffy scrambled eggs and sausages and also a selection of breads/croissants/ a toaster to make toast and some cakes etc - tea/coffee and fruit juices available

nothing - it was a great hotel

The staff is more than helpful and really care about your stay. The room was very clean and quiet. All is new and renovated with an air of luxury a real 4-star. Breakfast is one of the best 5-star with fresh vegetables, tomatoes, fruit, cheese, eggs, omelette, sausages, cured meat variety, olives, soup of the day, Turkish sweets, honey, butter, pancakes,donuts, lokum etc and any other you would expect. The hotel is located 4 mins close to Taxim square where all means of transport are available. WiFi is really efficient. People of Lamartine thank you! Some tips for first time visitors: If someone want to spend most of the time visiting Hagia Sofia, Blue mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi, spice market and Grand bazaar, the Sultan Ahmed area is closer within walking distance. On the other hand, the Taxim area is very safe, more vibrant full of shops, restaurants, pubs and nightlife with buildings of 19th century European architecture and best transport means. Beer and alcohol are not sold at supermarkets, fast food and restaurants. Only some restaurants, hotels and few pubs sell them. Hotel Lamartine serves alcoholic drinks. A tip for those of you visiting Topkapi is that you need at least 6-8 hours to see all, at a steady pace with security checks (not so busy). I think the harem does not deserve the extra time and money. Try to buy skip-the-line tickets for all visits to avoid the queue for tickets but you cannot avoid the security and ticket checking queue. Another tip is that public transport is very good (buses, trams) to go round the city by using your credit card or Istanbul card. Average bus route is 27 Turkish lira. We used Google maps to find schedules and prices of bus routes. Another good idea is to take the boat from Karakoy to visit Prince islands and from Eminonu to go round the Bosporus by taking the tour.

The hotel has a great location, close to Taksim Square, markets, and restaurants. Wi-Fi connection was good. Quiet area during the day. Staff were polite and helpful. Special thanks to Emre Yalçın for his care and support — really appreciated. I was offered a room change to a larger one with a bigger balcony (a room designed for guests with disabilities)! I accepted the switch because the space was better and more comfortable.

The modern building has only one elevator used by both guests and staff. My first room was much smaller than the photos, with a tiny balcony. Towels had an unpleasant smell. The street outside the hotel can be uncomfortable at night. No taxis in front of the hotel — you have to walk to the main road or ask reception to call one.

We recently spent a few nights at Lamartine Hotel in Istanbul and couldn't be happier with our stay. The room was spacious, quiet, and impeccably clean—just the kind of calm we needed after exploring the bustling city. What truly made the difference, though, was the staff. Everyone we encountered was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Their genuine kindness and professionalism made us feel at home and gave us a true taste of Turkish hospitality. The location is also a huge plus—right near Taksim Square, which made it easy to discover the city’s vibrant culture and sights. We would absolutely stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend Lamartine Hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel and can’t recommend it enough! The design and decor were absolutely top-notch—modern, stylish, and clearly crafted by professionals. Every corner of the hotel, from the lobby and restaurant to the rooms, was spotless and perfectly organized at all times. The location was fantastic, making it super easy to explore Istanbul’s historical sites. The entire staff spoke fluent English, and every single one of them was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a warm smile. Room service was fast, efficient, and exceeded expectations. And the breakfast? Delicious, generous, and a perfect way to start each day. This hotel truly made my trip special. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel was ideally situated, offering easy access to local attractions, dining spots, and public transport. What truly impressed us was the outstanding service from the staff. They were not only friendly and professional but consistently went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction — whether by offering local tips, assisting with special requests, or responding promptly to any needs. Their genuine hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable.

Superb location, just few minutes walk from Taksim square. Very quiet during the night. Our room was big enough, much bigger than my previous stays in other Istanbul hotels of same category. Utmost professional staff, cleanliness is great, breakfast is nice.

WiFi could be better, coverage and signal strenght is good but sometime is very slow even for basic needs, probably could be solved with better plan from provider. Since for years I'm using data eSIMs for destinations, this doesn't affect my rating.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect—just steps away from Taksim Square, making it easy to explore Istanbul’s vibrant heart. The staff was incredibly caring and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of fresh and tasty options—a fantastic way to start the day! The modern interior design created a stylish and comfortable atmosphere. The bed was especially cozy, with high-quality linens. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Istanbul—great value and a memorable stay.
