Sometimes Hotel

the very helpful manger

We loved everything about this place. Its right in the heart of Taksim. If you look on maps it is on a side street but it is extremely safe and oddly enough blocks out the noise at night. The owner is an absolute gem of a man. When we would ask for recommendations he would personally walk us there. He made reservations for us, helped us navigate, made us coffee and brought to our room. Too notch service. We will definitely be staying at the sometimes hotel next time in Taksim. Please please please stay here when you come. The owner deserves your business and will do whatever is needed to help you enjoy your trip. 20/10 experience.

Loved everything.

This was my third stay here, and its location steps from Istiklal Street keeps bringing me back, especially after some less pleasant experiences with other nearby hotels. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, a bit small, which might make a longer stay challenging, but perfectly adequate for a short visit. We stayed in a basement room without natural light, but since we were only there to sleep, it wasn’t an issue.Our towels were changed daily, and housekeeping was done well. The owner gave us a late check-out free of charge, which was very kind of him.

No complaints other than the small things mentioned above.

Very nice staff. Clean room. We had everything needed. Great location. Very calm.

Everything was great.

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.

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.

Coffee could be better.

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.

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.

Nothing, we'd go back tomorrow

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 property is nice and located very close to Taksim Square, so you get to experience all the major attractions walking around. The rooms are decent and comfortable with all the facilities. The property manager was helpful and cooperative.

The room we were offered was on the top floor which had an inclined ceiling/roof. That made it difficult for me to walk around as I had to crouch the entire time to avoid bumping my head into the wall.

It is clean, very calm and just near the Istiklal road and Taksim square. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I certainly will come back.

All is good.

It's clean, calm, beautiful rooms, very nice atmosphere and the location is super.

Breakfast was delivered to our room at our requested time - full Turkish breakfast - excellent The owner is absolutely fantastic, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help and speaks good English which made our life easier the hotel's location was excellent, with easy access to the main attractions of the city. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortableWe stayed in January the room had super warm heating which was easily adjustable and also the had bathroom under floor heating We enjoyed our time at Sometimes Hotel - Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Istanbul

Cleanliness, good location, nice staff

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

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

Very clean hotel and Farouk, a very helpful host, everything was close, including the metro and various attractions.

A lovely hotel in the heart of Istiklal. Very clean, cozy and quiet. Thank you for making our stay comfortable!

None. Everything was excellent.

Great location, very close to the main street, but quiet at the same time. The owner is very nice and polite and it was very easy to communicate with him. Its a great value for your money there!

The hotel and its owner are very welcoming friendly and respectful.you feel safe and relaxed especially for a solo traveler.The room was super clean and comfortable.The location is perfect and close to many lanmarks and metro station.

It's close to istiqlal street The room was nice and comfortable The manager was very helpful

we booked the economic room which is in the basement so there was no sunlight, which was on us! Because we didn't notice when we booked, so read the description of the rooms well because all the details are in there!
