SALA SUITES

It was nice and right by the side of Istiklal Street. Easily accessible to everywhere.

I loved my apartment and the location. But best of all was Murat… definitely one of the best in hospitality!

Electricity went out and the backup generator did not work.

The staff member who welcomed us was very helpful and took the time to show us a map, explain where to go, and give us tips for exploring Istanbul. We appreciated his warm welcome. Housekeeping also offered to clean on the days we slept in.

The hotel is in a narrow alley, and the exterior looked different from what we expected from the photos. Our ground-floor room was close to reception, and conversations were clearly audible. Although this was mentioned in the description, the noise was more noticeable than expected. Music from a nearby club also continued until around 5 a.m. on the weekend. The advertised balcony was a small enclosed outdoor space facing walls, with no direct sunlight. It felt more like a smoking area than somewhere to sit and relax. There was no toilet paper when we arrived. After asking twice, we received a partially used roll. Toiletries were provided later, but the liquid soap dispenser remained empty. We declined cleaning on two days because we slept in and could have asked for more supplies, but the basics should have been ready on arrival. On our final night, the electricity went out and continued switching on and off the following morning.

Great chat with Murat for places to go, and whiskey bars. Will stay again
