Butterfly Suites

Pros: The flat was cosy and it was nice to have coffee when ever you feel like it.

Cons: Children were playing quite late on the street.

Pros: Great location. Just 2 minute, from taksim square. Staff was hospitable. My room was colorful and clean.

Pros: The guy at the reception was very frienfly and helpful. The apartments are close to Taksim and the night life area. If you travel on a limited budget and have no high expectations - this is a good place to stay. basic, but provides all you need.

Cons: Though close to Taksim, the nieighborhood is depressing and you have to cross a very busy bulevard to get to Istiklal. The garbage from the previous guests was not cleaned,

Pros: The hotel was close to the Taksim square and reasonably priced. The owner was friendly and helpful although not very fluent in English.

Cons: The hotel is located on a less attractive alley, which required accompanied walks home when dark for a woman traveler. The 3-star rating does not describe the hotel, which was very simple and without services. Cleaning was not daily and some basic amenities, like a full lenght mirror were missing.

Pros: The moment I left it!

Cons: Definitely the worst hotel I have ever been to! It's really difficult to find where to start. Location: ok nearby Taxim square, but in narrow dangerous alley. Staff: what staff? It seem that only the owner is there, but with poor-poor English knowledge. Room service: I stayed a couple of nights never seen any housekeeping! Same towels, bed not made, no cleaning at all! Room cleanness: bathroom smells awful. Just awful. I preferred to go to restaurant toilets instead there. Room facilities: I stayed at ground level, very noisy and it should have thicker curtains. One way or another I woke up early! No breakfast at all, even if it is stated that "breakfast in the room". Pictures are misleading (I probably stayed in a completely different room
