Homelike Hotel

Homelike Hotel – A Cozy Gem in Istanbul I had a great stay at Homelike Hotel in Istanbul. The location was perfect—just a 5-minute walk to metro and bus stops, and only 20 minutes on foot from Taksim Square. The area is full of cozy Turkish cafés, giving it a lovely local vibe. My room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless and modern. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. While there were a few minor issues at first, everything was quickly sorted out thanks to their excellent service. A special thanks to Adam, who kindly helped me print some important travel documents. Breakfast was decent, with some variation each day to keep things interesting. Overall, this hotel is highly recommended if you're looking for a cozy, budget-friendly stay with great access to the city. A truly nice hotel that gives you great value for money. You truly get the bang for your buck!

Disappointing Stay – Not Worthy of 4 Stars I honestly have no idea how this hotel has a four-star rating because my experience was awful from start to finish. Let’s start with the breakfast—absolutely disgusting. Stale pastries, rubbery eggs, and lukewarm coffee that tasted like it had been sitting for hours. I wouldn’t feed it to my worst enemy. The room was tiny, barely enough space to move around, and to make matters worse, the carpet was filthy. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years, covered in stains and giving off a musty smell. Definitely not what you’d expect from a so-called four-star hotel. The lobby was a joke—cramped, unwelcoming, and nothing like the pictures online. And as for the location, it was in a terrible area, far from anything worthwhile and not convenient for getting around. To top it all off, the service was awful. The staff were rude, unhelpful, and seemed like they couldn’t care less about their guests. Any request was met with an attitude, and getting anything done took forever.

Overall, this place is nowhere near four-star quality. Save your money and stay somewhere else! Overall, this place is nowhere near four-star quality. Save your money and stay somewhere else!
