Close to most attraction sites at the middle of Taksim square , Galata tower and heart of istikal Street. Close to ST Anthony Church which is only a few steps away, that's the main reason I chose this property, it was really accommodating to me going to my daily mass and prayer. Close to public transportation Metro station Sishane station is only 2-3 minutes away by walking distance, surrounded by lots of shops lots and restaurants. Our room was on the second level for 1 night and 3 nights on the fourth floor, the reception guy Mesh helped us move up our pieces of luggage to our room on both respective days, and he was kind enough to follow up on our day of check-in and guide us to the property which made us felt welcome. He even offered us an airport transfer option. Check-in was smooth! On our last day, the reception guy named Riza made the arrangements for our airport transportation. He was kind enough to help us and guide us to the van, even he finished off the shift, he helped us carry our luggage to the main street and waited for us until the transportation arrived. The housekeeper lady cleaned up our room every day and stocked up fresh new clean towels and drinking water for our stay every day. The only cons of the property were busy and noisy from neighboring clubs and pubs; however, the property was occupied with soundproof curtains and blinds to minimize the noise. Thank you for accommodating us, our stay was really a pleasant one!

Location is amazing. Right on the busy street. Riza was on reception most of the time during our stay and was very helpful. We had the room with the view of the street (no balcony) and the room above with a balcony. Both were lovely. There is noise from the street, clubs at night but not horrendous. I always travel with my ear plugs which shut it out. There is no lift to rooms so no good if you have walking difficulties but we didn't have an issue with that. Would happily stay here again.

Nothing to dislike. All good.

usually i used to avoid to comment but the exceptional response of Mr. Mohammed the property manager forced me to respond. his hospitality, flat’s aesthetics, extra care of us, even picking up our bags on his own shoulder, location ….. i shall stay here again either i’m with family or on a solo trip.

i tried but couldn’t

I initially booked only 4 days on a 9-day visit to Istanbul, with the intention to maybe explore Turkey a little - during my first 4 days at Magnova, I wanted to stay longer in Istanbul. Omesh was extremely accommodating and helpful in finding me another hotel for 2 nights so that I could return to Magnova Studios for the rest of my stay. My stay in Istanbul was an amazing experience with the contribution of the staff at Magnova Studios. The service and care I received are attributes you will not find in larger group hotels. The staff are patient, kind, and professional and apply such a personal touch that my stay felt like home away from home. I was well catered for. Omesh and Sonia were extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable while staying at their hotel. Staff are always available and attentive. I travel a lot and in all my years of travel, I have not met amazing staff at any hotel before like I have at Magnova Studios. Muhammed went out of his way to manage my entertainment (dinner cruise, shuttle,etc.) and massage bookings. He assisted me with directions and advice and carried my bags so that I was never for a minute left to feel inconvenienced or uncomfortable with my luggage. Mohammed Riza is so friendly and so caring as well. Always concerned about my safety and checking on me if I required anything. Riza's restaurant suggestion was one of the highlights of my trip. The room was extremely comfortable and spacious with all that you would need for a visit to Istanbul. Loved having an aircon to manage the extremely high temperatures of Istanbul. The hotel is situated perfectly for someone who would enjoy one of the most lively streets of Istanbul, convenient shopping (stores open till late), alot of eating establishments within very close walking distance and public transport is easily accessible.

The location was really good.

It would have been great if they had a elevator as it was quite a walk up to the room. Not suitable for old people or people with knee injuries.

The hotel was very good, helpful staff, the place very central and you had everything around you I would choose it if I were in the city again 

The street is quite noisy, but you justify because of the point.The only thing that needs improvement is the breakfast it is not commensurate with the price

Location is great, price for location is great. There wasn't a kitchen. Just a sink and an electric pot for hot water to make instant coffee. No hair dryer, no fan, no iron, no stove, no DVD, no TV in English, and we were upstairs not in a detached unit. Hard to get up stairs as they are narrow and spiral. Best for younger people. Bed was comfortable, bed pillows desperately need to be replaced.

Having a kitchen and better bed pillows and not having to climb the stairs. Cooler inside.

Right on Istiklal. Close to Tram Close to Metro Walking Distance to Galata Tower Reza the receptionist was exceptionally helpful with everything, including our bags (no lift on property)

Just note the following: You’ll need help from reception or shuttle/taxi driver with your bags to the hotel (taxis aren’t allowed on Istiklal street) There’s no lift for elderly or disabled The nightclub a few doors down can be heard all through the night in summer through soundproofing (soundproofing works for the street noise though) The nightclub music played till 4am very loudly.

I recently stayed at Magnova Studios. It is very conveniently located on the pedestrian street, close to many restaurants, bars, and shops, and just a 5-minute walk from the T1 station to get to the Sultanahmet area. It feels very safe to come and go at night. The room had everything we needed and included kitchen items, which were a useful addition. The hot shower is definitely a highlight. At reception, we were welcomed by Riza, who was extremely helpful. He constantly assisted us with recommendations and suggestions and was always attentive to our needs. He even carried all our luggage up and down the stairs. Additionally, Riza arranged my early morning taxi to the airport and accompanied me to it, which made me feel very safe. In summary, I would definitely stay here again! Magnova Studio is a highly recommended option for a stay in Istanbul.

N/A

Everything was just perfect. The place is located on Istiklal caddesi, the heart of Beyoğlu. The studio was spotlessly clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. I normally don't like hotel beds, but here I had the best sleep in a long time. I had some work to do, so I really appreciated the desk and comfortable chair.

Nothing to dislike, but couple of things to note- the building has no lift, and rooms are from 2nd floor upwards. Be mindful of that if having mobility issues. The location seems to be a night club hot-spot, with loud music into early morning. I slept through it though, and there are also complimentary ears plugs.
