I spent a few days in this hotel with my husband in March 2024 and I would like to recommend it. First, the place is very convenient. The subway is actually in the patio of the hotel. There are many lovely cafes and restaurants around. Lots of shops. The hotel room is normal and clean. At the roof top of the hotel there is a wonderful restaurant with a stunning view of the Bosphorus and delicious menu. It was very nice from hotel administration side that they gave us one day’s breakfast in gift. Also congratulated my husband on her birthday with a very nice gift, which is really appreciated. I would also like to mention the friendly service staff. Doriana, the sweetest girl from the reception who helped us a lot and the guys from reception whose names unfortunately I can’t remember, they were also very warm and attentive. In the and, we were very pleased and satisfied with the choice of this hotel.

The food was very good quality, we stayed for 7 days never complained from the food on breakfast. The staff at the hotel we very nice, friendly and helpful from the manager to the reception desk and everyone in between. The location of the hotel is very strategic where the train and tram stations are near you and all stores are also near

Taxies cannot reach the exact location of the hotel since it’s in a historic street but you can arrange with the hotel before you arrive to send you someone to get your luggage. The taxi dropped us almost 20 meters away from the hotel’s location but the staff helped us so it didn’t feel like a problem.

The location is fantastic! Located on the pedestrian zone and just steps away from “The Tünel” a historic underground, rubber-tyred funicular that takes you to the waterfront where you can get on sightseeing boats and take ferries to all over the city! It’s about a six minute walk Galata Tower, the entire pedestrian zone and neighborhood has literally hundreds restaurants, bars, and shops. If you get a room with a view, you will not regret it. There is nothing quite as beautiful as sunrise over the Bosphorous! The staff are amazing. This was my third stay at this hotel and the staff treated me like royalty! A special shout out to the young front desk clerk Mustafa he always goes above and beyond to make his guests feel welcome! Breakfast is tasty and the new rooftop cafe/ restaurant is a fantastic place to take in the views! I have stayed in the regular room with a view, the family room, and a room with a terrace. All were amazing - but for summer time I would choose the room with the terrace. I cold spend hours just looking at the view!

I have nothing negative to say- this place is amazing

Nice comfortable rooms with great view in the breakfast room

When you book request higher floors as the first 2 floors are very noisy until 2 am. And make sure that the “street view” is not a wall as the receptionist was trying to persuade us, before changing us the rooms at the end!

Location is FANTASTIC! The hotel is located in Al Istiklal street, a major shopping street in Istanbul. It is also a walking distance from the funicular which takes you to the tram line (T1). You can easily use the tram to commute to every major attraction site in Istanbul. Galata tower is also minutes away from the hotel by walking, dolmabahje palace is about 20-30 minutes walking. Other than the location, the staff were really friendly and super nice. Big Thank you to Tatiana and to Ahmet! They treated us very nicely and we loved the complimentary tea and coffee. Thank you so much and will definitely visit again.

Great hotel with exquisite service and very clean atmosphere and rooms! An amazing experience at the ringstone hotel. Good service, warm hospitality and welcoming staff. Staying at Ring Stone was by far the best decision we made! - Superb location - Kind, nice, welcoming staff - Well designed interior & Clean - Delicious & diverse breakfast Can't wait to go back!

Nothing. Everything was perfect

The hotel was absolutely amazing, and the best location was close to everything you need in taksim.The staff were so helpful and fabulous.The manager was a beautiful lady who was always welcoming us in the morning and the afternoon and would offer us tea and coffee to our room.The room with the deluxe spar was fantastic and the views were out of this world.I will definitely book this again.

The only thing was the rooms were a bit small and had a big pole in the middle where the tv is other than that it was amazing room.

Super good breakfast and location, just on the main street.

1. The hotel porter and the man who came to the room repairing TV are a little bit impatient and not professional, and lack of training. 2. They only resupply the bottle water, no new slippers and teeth brush, not changing the sheets! So you can say the room service is terrible!

This hotel was the best choice we made. Here are the reasons: 1. Location = If you are a shopaholic, this is the place for you as the Hotel is situated in Istiklal street. Loads of shops, restaurants, cafe, vibrant atmosphere surrounding the hotel. We felt very secured as the police station was just opposite the hotel as well as the Swedish Embassy was really near. 2. Hotel = Brand new hotel, clean and very very very friendly and happy to serve staffs. They were just a call away and very attentive to our needs, The room was spacious and perfect for a couple. Room was serviced everyday with clean towels, toiletries. Excellent Hotel. 9/10. 3. How to arrive = We arrived there by bus from Sabiha Gokcen Airport. Just outside the Airport, cross the road and you will find bus marked with Taksim. We payed 50 Turkish lira cash (apprx 3 euro for 2 persons) and it took us 1,5 hours to reach Taksim due to heavy traffic. From the bus stoppage we walked to the big mosque in the Taksim square and there is a tram stoppage called Tunel. Although we walked to the hotel when we were there but you can take the old tram and it will drop you at the front of Cafe Clementine. The Hotel is one building away from there. You can pay by cash in the tram as well. or buy the Istanbulkart (family card 100 TL, 50TL/person). for each press it will cost around 8 TL. The Hotel is just opposite of Sishane Metro station, towards the end of Istiklal Street. As the Hotel is located just opposite to the Sishane metro station, going to Mall of Istanbul was easy. Took the metro to Yenikapi and from there took the 146T bus to Masko 1 bus stop. As for Sultanahmet (Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, etc.), Sirkeci and Eminonu (shopping, Egyptian Bazaar), Bayezit (Grand Bazaar)we walked to Taksim square, Taksim metro station, took the metro to Kabatas station, and from there, T1 tram towards Bagcilar. When our feets were soar, we took the Tunel from the Celementine cafe stoppage and went to Taksim.

Same breakfast everyday made it a bit boring. But it was delicious and only on the fifth day we were tired eating the same breakfast. Breakfast is served in café clementine, very cute café. warm and cozy, Perfect for your Instagram. Staffs were very attentive and served us well.

Our stay at the hotel was fantastic! - Location: The hotel is located at the end of Istiklal Street, directly infront of Sishane Metro Station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city and reach areas easily and smoothly. - Staff: The service was exceptional, the team was friendly, helpful, and truly went above and beyond expectation. I've visited Istanbul numerous times, but the staff at Ring Stone Hotel, especially Mr. Akin at the reception, stood out for their outstanding hospitality,very welcoming, positive attitude, very helpful and warmth truly enhanced our experience. - Comfort: The hotel provided a comfortable stay, we never heard any noises from the street knowing that the area is crowded in general. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Despite setting the air conditioning to its lowest temperature, the room remained uncomfortably warm during both the afternoon and nighttime. ** Room's cooling could use some improvement.
