    amazing omelette
    good service

    It was just a nice choice for a budget stay in Istanbul with best value. The chef made an amazing omelette just for me at breakfast. Be ready for some noise at night from the street.

    great location
    colorful decor
    efficient heating
    outside noise

    Our group had a fantastic time exploring the surroundings! We loved visiting the historic Galata Tower and the stunning Dolmabahçe Palace. The hotel is in a great spot with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. My friends enjoyed the colorful decor of our room and the efficient heating system.

    However, the noise from outside was a bit much, especially late at night.

    soundproofing

    I had a spacious room with a king-size bed and excellent soundproofing that blocked out any street noise. The hotel is super close to a ton of shops and bars, making it easy to explore the area.

    The hotel is ideally located near Taksim Square. We especially enjoyed walking through the busy İstiklal street every day. Our Grand Junior Suite was spacious and stylish, perfect for our family of 7.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly meal options for breakfast.

    check-out delay

    Hotel The Public, Special Category was an enjoyable stay! The location on Istiklal Street is unbeatable, with easy access to shopping and dining. The room we had was a Grand Junior Suite, and its soundproofing was fantastic, allowing us to relax despite the lively atmosphere outside. The staff, particularly Mr Simet, provided excellent assistance, making us feel welcomed and valued.

    The breakfast could have been better, and there was a slight delay at check-out.
