My stay at Beethoven Premium Hotel in Istanbul was absolutely fantastic! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The breakfast was a highlight: fresh fruit, homemade pastries, hot coffee, and a great mix of local and international options. Everything was well-prepared and plentiful. The hotel’s location is excellent—just a short walk from major attractions and public transit, making it easy to explore the city. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a welcoming atmosphere made this a truly memorable experience. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Istanbul.
This is a great hotel if you know what to expect. Located in the lively Lalali district of Istanbul, mornings can be quite noisy due to the nearby cargo market starting early. The hotel isn’t fancy—don’t come here expecting luxury finishes—but the location more than makes up for it. Just a 3-minute walk to the T1 tram station, making access to other parts of the city incredibly easy. The real highlight? The rooftop restaurant with breathtaking views over Istanbul—perfect for breakfast. Every day, two seagulls would fly by and seem to watch us enjoy our meal, adding a charming local touch. Staff are warm and welcoming, always ready to help. If you're looking for convenience, authenticity, and a genuine slice of daily life in Istanbul, this place delivers without compromise.
This hotel is a great option for travelers who plan to spend most of their day exploring Istanbul on foot and visiting iconic sights. The breakfast is excellent—fresh, varied, and well-prepared. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with a good balance of functionality and simplicity. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from multiple metro stations and a ferry terminal, making it easy to reach Kadıköy and other areas across the Bosphorus. If you need a quiet spot to work, the lobby area is spacious and welcoming, perfect for a few hours of focus. However, there’s one minor drawback: if your room is close to the elevator, some guests may smoke nearby, and the smell can drift into your room. Also, Wi-Fi in the rooms isn’t reliable enough for video calls or heavy streaming. Despite these small issues, the overall value for money is outstanding. Friendly staff, convenient access, and a central location make this a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers looking for comfort and convenience.

Don't let the negative reviews scare you—this hotel is actually quite decent for its location. It's not a 4-star property, but it's a solid mid-range option in the heart of Istanbul. We stayed in the London room, and all rooms are named after cities—a nice touch. The building feels a bit worn down, and a cosmetic refresh would definitely help. Check-in was before 2 PM, and some rooms were ready while others required a short wait. Two Russian-speaking housekeepers arrived promptly and cleaned our room efficiently. Only one bath towel was provided per guest—slightly inconvenient. The TV in our room didn’t work, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable throughout the property. We experienced zero noise during our stay—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Being right in the city center means everything is within walking distance. Breakfast was surprisingly good: a wide variety of fresh vegetables, a hearty lentil soup, scrambled eggs, fries, and one type of cake. Not fancy, but satisfying. After reading so many bad reviews, I was genuinely worried about what to expect—but the reality was much better than anticipated. If you're looking for a no-frills, centrally located place with decent value, this could be a good choice.

This hotel delivers outstanding value and comfort. Sending warm greetings from the Netherlands—my family and I will definitely be back next year!
Staying at Lotus Hotel in Istanbul was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short tram ride from Galata Tower and Sultanahmet, with easy access to other highlights like Beylerbeyi and Pierre Loti Hill. The neighborhood feels authentic, with local residents and a vibrant market nearby where everything is affordably priced. The rooms were spotless and the owner couldn’t have been more welcoming—felt like staying with friends. While there’s some noise from young people gathering outside late at night, earplugs easily solved the issue. For seasoned travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and a genuine local vibe, this hotel delivers everything you’d want. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul.
Absolutely perfect! This was hands down the best hotel experience I've ever had. The location is a bit outside the city center, but every single aspect of the stay made up for it.
