It was beyond aspectations,the staff was super nice and super friendly... The location is perfect. I like that the room was really well tech equiped. We rented 2 rooms and they gave us a room upgrade for one of them with a room with bosphorus view. So overall it is really good value for money because you dont need to think about 'does this hotel have this or that'. Thank you.
The variety of breakfast options can be improved. But also really tasty.

The servers at the restaurant exemplified hospitality at its best, ensuring every meal was a delightful experience. However, it was the 23sqm room that took my breath away, offering a mesmerizing view of the Bosphorus and the bridge. The cleanliness of the room was unparalleled; I have never felt more comfortable and at ease, thanks to the meticulous housekeeping. Special praise goes to Sinan, whose knowledge and passion truly enhanced my stay, adding a special value that I will always remember. The hotel's commitment to storytelling and creating a unique guest experience is commendable.

Location, standard, clean, staff and modern amenities. It is a clean, standard hotel with modern amenities. Very close to metro (M2), funicular (F1) station, bus stop, Istiklal street and Taksim square. Very good breakfast. It is not too big like other Marriot hotels. Reception, corridor, rooms all are small (not too small) and compact, but clean with all facilities and nice view. It would be better to check the room size when you book the room. Storage facility is available when you checkout. There are few private parking spots in front of the hotel, but valet parking is also available. Only 5min ride in funicular to Kabatas tram station (T1). Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Nice restaurant but of course expensive. 10 min walking distance to Dolmabahce palace.
Did not meet my expectation. smart electrical/light control system. Lights went off in the middle of shower due to sensor system. wash basin is in outside the toilet. We booked a room for 3 people. I expected a proper room for 3 people, but they gave us a room with a double bed and an extra bed in the middle of the room. It made us very difficult to move around the room (see the pictures). Later we told them to remove this extra bed to get some space in the room as there is no other rooms are available and we all three adjusted in that double bed, But they apologize for the inconvenience caused and provided us a dinner voucher for 3 people from the restaurant.

Staff- Doghubru- I don’t know her name but just her familiar face everyday made it so enjoyable - the location is very good, a few hundred meters from Taksmi square - once you learn to navigate the trams - Funiclur to Kabatas and then the tram that goes to Bacliar - you can access nearly all the sights you want to in a few night stay -
Don’t take their offer for airport transport - ask for a taxi with a meter and ask Taksi price before you go- this please is great but so many rip offs- transport

1.Good location, 2 mins walk to Taksim square. 2.Good facilities, very clean and new. 3.Very warm and helpful staff, Furkan helped us checked in early and gave us a free upgrade to Delux room. Emir took our luggage to our room and gave us a comprehensive introduction. All the staffs are very nice and professional, makes us feel at home. 4. Breakfast is great with a lot of choices. I will recommend this hotel to my friends and will definitely stay in here again if I go to Istanbul.

I had an amazing stay at Lokalist, Istanbul, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue, but also in the quiet part. The rooms are beautifully designed with comfortable beds, modern amenities and even complimentary soft drinks at minibars. I particularly enjoyed the stunning Bosphorus views from my room. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more pleasant. The on-site restaurant served delicious breakfast. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to return!

• Staff
• Breakfast is not good and it’s doesn’t have variety • They took 302€ extra which I don’t know why and up to now not returned • There is suspicious lay in housekeeping and keep asking ( no clean?) even though we just checked in • In general it’s not look like a 5 star hotel compared to its facilities

Everything - rooms were great, location excellent, staff were excellent, we stayed on two separate occasions and will be back
Would be great to have the ability to stream from our device for Netflix etc as we couldn’t get it to work, but this is nitpicking.

The staff were very personable, friendly and accommodating. They greeted you with a smile every morning and every evening. Upon being welcomed on the first day we were offered a drink of choice along with a sample of Turkish delight. We were accompanied to our room where the digital control for the A/C, the window blinds and Lighting was explained to us. The Bar fridge contained a complimentary selection of drinks, including water. The coffee machine came with a selection of coffee pods and a selection of loose leaf teas was made available. The bathroom was spacious and contained ample toiletries. The room was spacious and cleaned every day and had a nice outlook over the park. The breakfast contained a selection of cold meats, eggs, salads, yoghurts, hot dishes, cereals, dried fruits and nuts and fresh crusty bread rolls. There was a selection of breakfast eggs which could be ordered, which ranged from fried eggs to traditional Turkish dishes. Coffee and tea could also be ordered. The service in the breakfast area was efficient and friendly. The location was close to restaurants and main shopping streets. The airport bus was located only five minutes away. It was easy to catch the metro to various attractions, like the Ayia Sofia and Blue Mosque and major Bazaars.
