We checked out and my friend asked if she could use the bathroom and they said since you checked out you cannot. Using bathroom was right after checkout was over.

-Nothing was good about it. - The staff were rude.. except one - no cleaning services - Bed was very dirty and make noise all the time.. we asked for Solving the problem but they didn't do anything. - The area is very noisy until 4 o'clock in the mornings.. the windows of course are not soundproof - The area is very crowded and the driving option is unlikely - the staff are limited and most of the hospitality services are not provided - It is not preferable place for families - I don't recommend this place at all for anyone - مكان سيء للغايه ولا يعكس التعليقات التي قرئتها عنه سابقا - لا يوجد اي معايير للناظفه ابدا - طاقم غير متعاون ولا يقدم خدمات الاساسيه للعملاء - الاسره قذره والملايات ممزقه وعلاوه على ذلك السرير قديم ويصدر اصوات وعند طلب حل المشكله لا يقوم القائمون على الفندق بأي مبادره - المكان مزعج ويوجد مراقص قربه والازعاج وصوت الاغاني الى الفجر مع العلم لا يوجد نوافذ عازله للصوت في المجمل المنطقه مكتضه وخيار قياده السياره صعب جدا - لا يصلح ابدا للعوائل ولا انصح به لاي احد اذا اراد الراحه - خدمه الواي فاي سيئه للغايه ولا تغطي جميع الغرف

Response from taksim prelude hotel team on 14 Oct 2022
first of all, thank you for choosing us, our goal is to provide the best service to the guests within the framework of facilities, we try to be sensitive and constructive to the problems of our guests in the room and in the hotel, our goal is to solve the problems of our guests within the framework of respect and love, as a hotel, cleanliness is very important to us. we do not enter the room unless the guest requests or hangs the cleaning card on the door, during the three nights you stayed, you did not hang a cleaning request or a cleaning card on the door, so we respected your privacy and did not enter your room, the only problem you told us was that there was a sound coming from the bed, you reported this problem the day before you checked out, and although everything was closed on the weekend, we called technical service, but we couldn't solve your problem because you were sleeping, Friday Saturday nights in a location where there is nightlife, it is impossible to escape from the sound, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, although there is sound insulation in the rooms, we can not prevent the sound, even if a little, as a hotel, every guest is special and valuable to us, we accept every guest without discrimination of language, religion, race, gender. the rating and comments you have given have upset us, and we are happy to welcome you backbest regards

Hotel staff are nice and welcoming, clean room (except the wooden shower floor), comfortable bed. BUT the only unforgivable sin for a hotel is thay you can’t get a good night’s sleep. There is a loud bar that plays live music about 7 meters from the hotel until around 4am. Only stay here if sleep is optional.

When i checked into the Taksim Prelude I learned that Expedia had accidentally double booked my reservation.This was a clear mistake and I asked the hotel to rectify it. In the morning however I learned nothing had been done and furthermore the manager was determined to charge me for both rooms. While discussing at the front desk, the owner came by and said he would fix the issue if I gave hime a 5 star rating. I checked back one week later and learn I am still being charged for the second room. I have called the hotel several times. Mostly the staff claims not to speak english and hang up. The Taksim Prelude and its staff deserve a 1 star rating not an artificially inflated 5 just to increase its score.

Nice Hotel, centrally located in Istanbul. Almost everything nearby. Rooms Comfortable and spacious. Very cheap as compared to other nearby Hotels. Tophane Metro on walking distance. Reception staff was friendly and very cooperative and could speak English very well which helped us to explore city. Hotel staff upgraded our room without any extra charges. We arrived early in morning and they allow us free early check in. Overall, we liked Hotel and will stay in same hotel next time.

Terrible service at Taksim Prelude. Not worth it
Arrived at hotel and could not be provided with senior suite booked. Had to stay in standard room. Given senior suite the following night. Stay was for 5 nights. Had to ask Manager to sort out price refund for standard room. Didn’t do it and had to call Hotels.com. Once this was done I was then told I would be given a partial refund for the first night. Room was not cleaned on 2nd night. Informed General Manager and he ended up cleaning room himself. 2nd night hot water was weak and showered anyway. 3nd night and 5th night had to go down to Reception a number of times asking them to switch on the hot water. Kept saying he is resetting the combi. Ended up delaying our programs for the hotel. Manager was sincere and apologetic yet the owner was at the hotel a number of times never apologized for the inconveniences. Last day as we leaving, Receptionist is asking us to pay for our stay when I had paid prior to arriving in Istanbul. Don’t waste your money as the owner and the employees other than the Manager do not believe in customer service. Plenty of better hotels in the vicinity for a similar price

Cozy Boutique Hotel Conveniently Located
I have stayed at this hotel twice during my two visits to Istanbul and both times have been such a pleasurable and enjoyable experience. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. They ensured that all of my needs were met and even remembered me from the last time I stayed with them which is lovely touch. You are one step away from Istiklal, the busiest street in Istanbul that is full of cute cafe's, shopping and restaurants. My room was cleaned everyday and everything worked in my room. I was even upgraded to a suite for my second stay which was a very nice gesture of the hotel. I would happily recommend Stories Hotel Kumbaraci to anyone - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay both times. Thank you very much to the lovely staff!!!

Comfortable stay at Stories Karakol
I enjoyed Stories Karakol - the rooms are really well equipped and well serviced. The location couldn't be more perfect. My one concern is that one of the desk attendants spoke very less English than how much Turkish I speak and made little effort to help me. The only other little concern was that our Superior King Room was still incredibly tight in terms of space. I can't imagine how small standard rooms are, then.

Good price, super location, superb bathroom + bed
Hotel is in the best location if you want to be in the heart of Taksim. Had an amazing stay here - the shower room is divine! Nice big walk in shower with wooden platter floor, and big dark stone walls. Was gorgeous! Super large bed, and less than 1 minute to the main high street from which you can go anywhere you want. Perfect! The only downside I guess is that because it is middle of a VERY BUSY area, you will hear some noise at night - this is normal for the area and is not just this hotel. This noise didnt bother me as I am from London, so am used to people shouting every now and then etc. For the price it is superb, the location is excellent, and the quality of room was awesome. Embrace the local atmosphere right in the centre of it all. Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent hotel in a nice area
This was the best hotel I have stayed in a long time. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and very quiet even though it was off from a busy road. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was really nice. The staff was friendly and the location was perfect. The main shopping street is really close and if you walk to the opposite direction there are so many cafes and restaurants and the neighbourhood is really lively. I would stay at this hotel again at anytime!
