We liked the room, the host suggested us an upgrade upon arrival which was very nice of him. The room was clean, spacious enough to stay for a couple of days with 2 pieces of luggage. Perfect option for its money.

I had a wonderful stay at the Sometimes Hotel in Istanbul. The owner, who is also the manager, was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. He generously upgraded our room and provided us with useful information about the area. The room was very clean, nicely furnished, and housekeeping was done every day. The hotel is perfectly located in a calm neighborhood in central Taksim, just a 5-minute walk from shops, restaurants, and all the main facilities. The manager even helped us with arranging a taxi to the airport, which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend the Sometimes Hotel for anyone visiting Istanbul – great service, comfort, and location!

Absolutely amazing!!! The best host ever, went over and beyond, accommodated all our needs, which were specific... he's actually not just a host, but a tourist guide as well... he's always there for whatever you need, gave us directions and great advice for where to go, how to get there, where and what to eat... BREAKFAST spectacular! Not to mention a photo he took as we were going out and gave us as the best memory to have! Greatest recommendations!

Everything was great. No complaints.

Fantastic location, very close to Taksin Square, and handy to all public transport options. The owner, Faruk, was so friendly and caring. The hotel was super clean and very comfortable. I would recommend.

The hotel is amazing. Very comfortable and in an excellent location. Hospitality is also top notch. Faruk is very welcoming, ever willing to help and always greets you with a smile. Will definitely look here again when I’m back in Istanbul and will highly recommend to others looking to visit this wonderful city.

Coffee could be better.

The hotel has a great location. On the one hand, it is quiet but very close the main street where you can find shops and restaurants. A few minutes from the metro station or a bus or a tram. The room was big enough to feel comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and served to the room. The owner was very nice and helpful.

The hotel is located in a very convenient, central area, very close to Istiklal Street but it's very quiet without the hassle and bustle of the road. The metro station is within 5-7 min walking distance and visitors can find whatever they need just around the corner. The room is spacious enough for two people and very clean. Mattresses are comfortable and the breakfast is very tasty. Faruk (the owner), is very kind and hospitable and helped us a lot during our stay. I strongly recommend this hotel.

Nothing, we'd go back tomorrow

We stayed in a twin room that was lovely and roomy, a perfect base to come home to with a cheaply priced mini bar. The location was lively and exciting but the hotel room was lovely and quiet. The centre of Istabul was three tram rides away after a 15 min walk. The 24 hour reception was handy and the staff were very welcoming.

Felt safe and it’s very close to everything and it looks just like the pictures. The owner was on hand the entire time and he even assisted me with finding my way to different sights I wanted to explore using the metro system. I will definitely return again.

The room’s facilities are somewhat limited. For instance, having a microwave oven would make things much more convenient.

Cleanliness, good location, nice staff

Amazing Experience at Sometimes Hotel Taksim – Highly Recommend! Our stay at Sometimes Hotel Taksim was absolutely fantastic, and I can confidently say this is one of the best little hotels I have stayed in! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Taksim, close to Istiklal Street and within walking distance to many key attractions. Despite being so central, the hotel is tucked away on a quiet street, ensuring a peaceful retreat after exploring the vibrant city. Opposite the hotel, you will find a mini market, and just around the corner, there is a pharmacy. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with charming interiors and clean rooms. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the comfortable beds to the bathrooms. The breakfast was a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and offering a great variety to start the day. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional service. Farouk, the manager, was an absolute gem! He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable, helping us plan our days with insider tips. Just listen to him. He gives you little notes that he prints on the spot with places to go and how to get there. His knowledge and warmth made us feel at home. He recommended some hidden gems for dinner and places to shop, and his advice was spot on. If you stay here, don’t miss trying the local food spots he suggests—you’ll discover authentic flavors away from the tourist traps. He also organized transportation for us and gave us detailed guidance on how to navigate Istanbul’s public transport. Sometimes Hotel Taksim truly feels like a home away from home. Thank you, Farouk, and the team for making our visit unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back! Mihalis and Vasia
