The apartment in Istanbul was excellent. The staff was just one phone call away and always happy to help. I really liked the location—everything was close by. I arrived at 2:00 AM, and the gentleman was there to welcome me, which I really appreciated.

One small suggestion: for late arrivals like us, it would be nice if they could prepare something simple, like tea, bread, jam, or cereal, even if there’s an extra charge. I didn’t ask, but I thought they might offer this as a courtesy, especially for guests arriving so late with children.

Great location, beautiful view, clean, spacious and comfortable apartment, also, very friendly staff, housekeeping and management. They were understanding, supportive, and accommodating as we had flights canceled (and borders closed) because of Middle East chaos, and helped us to extend our stay, with great sense of humanism. The place felt like home, in a very difficult and unpredictable situation that occurred during a family trip, quite unexpectedly, specially for elderly people , my parents, who are vulnerable in such conditions. And I appreciate the help and support. To sunset catchers: our apartment had beautiful sunsets, with a deep feeling of being in Istanbul!

Property was in a great location, close to Taksim and shops, with easy access to everything we needed. The apartment was very clean, had a lift, and was a perfect size for me and my family. It truly felt just right for our stay.

The apartment had everything we needed and was overall great. Even if something was missing or we needed anything, the host was so kind and warm-hearted, he provided whatever we asked for without hesitation. He was also very understanding and easy to communicate with. We’re sure anyone would enjoy staying in this place just as much as we did.

The best part of this residence is the location and staff. Overland Residence is located at the heart of Taksim. It is near to Taksim Square and all other tourism places. The major attractions of Istanbul, such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica, Blue Mosque, different museums, Grand Bazar, Glata Tower, Glata Port, Dolmabache Palace and many more, are easily accessible. The staff is cooperative and helpful and ready to help anytime. The staff is English and Arabic speaking, which is a great advantage for us. We rented an apartment which was neat and clean, have all the facilities needed for the family. The kitchen had all the things which were helpful for us as we reside there with family. The washroom had the water jet, which is a blessing as it is to commonly available in the hotels.

The building is a little old but they maintained it well.

I highly recommend you all to choose Overland Residence as your first choice of accommendation whenever you are traveling to Istanbul. I spent a week in sir Mr Salim's hotel/apartment and had the best experience. We felt totally at home as they are not defects. The location is quite nearby to all the visiting places like The Galata Tower, The Blue Mosque, Egyptian Bazaar and The Grand Bazaar and so on. We were welcomed very warmly by the staff of Overland Residence. One of the staff named Hesham was a very down to earth person. His million dollar smile and assistance brings so much positivity in the visitors. He guided us regarding food, places to visit, transport guidance and numerous other information we needed 24/7. The owner Mr Salim and other staffs including Mr Mohammad are amazing people. They all made sure we were okay in every possible way. The basic needs like the grocery stores, money exchange and the pharmacy were just some meters away so I would definitely recommend overland residence to others and we will choose the same place to stay in our next visit. 🙂

"I had an amazing stay at both apartments I rented in Istanbul. The host was incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. He was always available to answer questions and offer helpful advice, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Both apartments were spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. They had all the necessary amenities, making it feel like a home away from home. The location was great, with easy access to local attractions and transportation. I highly recommend these apartments to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and hassle-free stay in Istanbul. The host’s attention to detail and excellent hospitality truly set these rentals apart. I’ll definitely be booking again on my next trip!"

During our summer holiday, we stayed with our family (including kids and an infant) at Overland Residence. The place was nice and clean, and all rooms had air conditioning. The staff at the administration were very nice and helpful, always happy to assist with any questions 24/7. The location is also good. If you have a car, you can park on the free spots on the street or in a nearby parking area (note that parking doesn't operate on Sundays).

We faced a issue with the Wi-Fi, but it's likely that the administration has already fixed it.

I recently stayed in a two-bedroom apartment at this hotel, and it was fantastic! The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The location is perfect—close to attractions but still peaceful. A special thanks to Mr. Ibrahim for his outstanding assistance, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to return!

Noting

It was a nice experience, as a cost versus benefit for this category, it is excellent .The location is amazing, You are in the middle of Istanbul. You have every thing around you. The staff is very helpful, polite and professional. They are trying to help you by any means they can. Thanks overland residence team.

some minor issues regarding maintenance inside the apartment.

Arrived 2am in the morning. Checking was fast and easy. Our room was ready. We were offered tea and all requested information about the hotel surroundings. Perfect location and clean hotel. Peaceful as it is about 200 meters from main street but only about 10 minutes walk from Taksim Square or Osmanbay station.

Nothing to complain about. All as expected and as in the pictures.
