The White Swan Suites Beyoglu

The manager is very friendly and promt in communication.

Very compact and cozy.

The rooms were comfy, clean and tastefully furnished. Sultan is a great host and we absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Can't think of anything.

I had an exceptional stay at The White Swan Suites Beyoğlu — so good, in fact, that I ended up extending my stay for three more days. That alone should say a lot.From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. The location is ideal: only a short walk from İstiklal Avenue and Taksim Square.I travel frequently, and the level of cleanliness here truly stands out. Everything felt fresh, well-maintained, and thoughtfully prepared, giving the room a warm, home-like atmosphere.There was a very small issue with the curtain in the first room they offered, and the way they handled it was impressive. Instead of making it complicated, they immediately upgraded me without hesitation. It was professional, smooth, and considerate — something you rarely see.And the biggest highlight: Mrs. Sultana. She is one of the kindest and most caring hosts I have ever met. Warm, helpful, always smiling, and genuinely dedicated to her guests’ comfort. Her hospitality alone makes this place unforgettable.With its perfect location, outstanding cleanliness, comfortable rooms, and the kind of personal attention that you don’t often find, the value for money is excellent. I enjoyed my stay so much that extending it felt like the most natural decision and will absolutely return even on my next trip to Istanbul.

On the positive side, the location is good and close to the city center (though on a hill), and cleanliness was acceptable. Ms. Sultana welcomed me very warmly and even helped carry my luggage to the room. Her hospitality at first felt genuinely kind, making it feel more like a family home than a hotel.

My experience at The White Swan Suites Beyoğlu was negative despite the warm start. Ms. Sultana welcomed me very kindly and helped me carry my luggage to the room. However, over time, she became overly involved in my stay and made me feel a lack of privacy. She was constantly present near the entrance, often watching from the balcony, which was uncomfortable.The next day, when my friend came to visit (and my booking was for three people), she refused to let him in unless I paid an extra 50 euros — something completely unreasonable. Unfortunately, her behavior felt exploitative rather than professional.Cleanliness was acceptable and the location is on a hill but close to amenities. However, due to the intrusive and exploitative attitude, I would not stay there again.

The Host Mrs. Sultana, she is just magical person with positive and happy surprises very frequently. Strongly recommend.

The room we booked through Booking.com was not available, but we were settled in the upgraded room for a half of stay.

Sultana is such an amazing host. She is sweet, helpful and kind. I had the bottom room and the bed was comfortable and the accommodation is cozy. I loved everything about my stay. There is great access to transportation and night life. Thank you Sultana. I hope to meet you again.

The location is excellent! very close to Istiklal st. and transportation to Sultanahmet is very easy by bus!Sultana, the host, is very friendly and ready to provide any help you need!The interior is decorated very carefully and traditionally.

Amazing host. Was the best of the experience; hotel room was impecable.

The location, very bad location for getting there in taxi and coming at night, since it is very close to a red area where there are homeless people, and erotic stores, dirty streets.

Price not too bad

Smell of cigarettes a bit everywhere . The hotel was close to the plaza from on side , but from the other side was a very dangerous neighbourhood. Better from photos than from the reality

The White Swan hotel in Taksim is truly a hidden gem! The owner, Ms. Sultan, is a wonderful person who creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making you feel right at home. The vibe is cozy and familiar, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I’ll definitely be coming back!

bad neighborhood

location is so bad... Old and unsafe neighborhood. had to walk up hells to reach Taksim square and other surrounding areas.

Rooms are beyond legendary clean, when you compare to local standards!Wonderful design!Best host!Location is just 2 minutes walk from the main promenade, but not surraunded by a single bar or club, making your night magicaly quite.

Very friendly owner! I had a very beautiful room with perfect little balcony and nice view. The room was very clean and got cleaned every day.The location was perfect for me, very close to taksim square.

Everything was perfect!

The host Sultana was very nice, and even let us check in at 2 am. The room was very clean, and balcony was decorated with natural plants.

No problem

The property is well located, only 5 minutes from Taksim Square and Istiklal road. The room was very clean and it had two balconies which we loved a lot.

Nothing, everything was just like we imagined and hoped it would be!

Worst experience ever

Everything, unprofessional, racist, dirty and bad neighborhood, no wonder you can’t reserve this property through expedia. Booking should be better.

We loved how charming and incredibly comfortable our room was, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. The hotel was also spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Sultana, the host, was a true delight—always kind, attentive, and eager to help with anything we needed. Her warmth and dedication to making us feel welcome truly enhanced our experience, and we’re grateful for her hospitality.

The hotel's location in a sketchy neighborhood made us feel uneasy and a bit scared throughout our stay. Even though it was close to the city center, we didn’t feel comfortable walking around, so we relied on our car to get anywhere, which limited our ability to fully explore the area on foot.

Sultana was so helpful, caring and funny.. it was an enjoyable stay

the road leading to the hotel was uncomfortable and we needed to climb to the main road

The rooms were all spotlessly clean and comfortable Sultana was a wonderful hostess and made us feel very welcome. She was also able to provide lots of useful information.

Really pretty room with a great little balcony. Location was perfect for us and was a fab jumping off point for exploring Istanbul. Being close to the metro was really handy and being near to Istikal Street was great. Our host was really friendly and helpful. The room was incredibly clean. For the price this was an excellent option for touring Istanbul ?
