Quirky industrial style hotel
Arrived slightly early so accepted the wait for a room. Returning some 2 hours later and into the check-in hours, room still not ready. A further 15 minutes wait. When allocated room was informed we’d been upgraded. Nice surprise. Getting into the room - can’t understand what the upgrade was. Nice size room, but dusty and slight smell of drain. Strange set-up to the bathroom where you need to pass through the shower to get to the loo. Comfortable bed. One TV channel in English which played the same news report on a loop for the couple of days we were there, really ridiculous. The key card indicated 24/7 room service which led us to believe we could order a meal at round midnight when we came to the room. Well- surprise- there’s 4 DRINKS on room service and NO food. Complained- and response was- order from outside. What the heck! Really unacceptable/ then state you’ve got no room service! Staff at front desk were friendly, which was a saving grace. Restaurant for breakfast was cozy and nice selection on offer including great omelettes. Very busy side street on which the entrance is daily had rubbish piled high- awful to have to trudge past it to get to the door. Surely this garbage can be moved away from the area, poor reflection on Hotel The Public. So - in summary- this can ge a great little place if little changes can be made. Location is just a minute from Istiklal Street, which is awesome.

Beautiful Boitique Hotel - Perfect Location
Beautiful Boutique Hotel in the most amazing location. Just off the main shopping street in Taksim - The best location for Istanbul! The hotel has some really stunning art and decor. The rooms are small but the space well used and perfect if you book a room with a balcony. Highly recommended!

The hotel is quite modern and located right next to Istiklal which is great but also means it is noisy so take that into account if you like quiet hotels. Overall, the room was nice and had all I needed. Reception staff were friendly and helpful too, thanks for the nice stay!

Nice hotel - noisy main street
The hotel is really nice and the staff is friendly but I stayed in two separate rooms, both facing the main street and you’ll need ear plugs for sleeping for the ones on the upper floors.
Breakfast is delicious.

Great Boutique Hotel!!
It’s a great boutique hotel located next to Istiklal Street, accessible to everything. The interior design is eclectic and very cool. Very friendly and helpful personnel. The room we stayed at the rooftop have low ceilings and the bathroom was small, but might not be the case with the guest rooms on the other floors. In general, it was great staying there!!

Great quality-price service
i had a positive experience. great location, the rooms are a bit small but it's something in common with all the other hotels around taksim. fully renovated, very comfortable beds, great breakfast, and in the middle of the hustle and bustle. the rooms are quiet thanks to the very thick windows.

The property and the rooms are amazing. The only problem was that the room I selected was advertised as having a king bed while it was not.
