Cumbali Plaza Hotel

If you want to experience Sisli and Beyoglu, Cumbali plaza hotel would be a considerable stay. A small considerable hotel located on the lower side of the busy main road, helps to maintain the privacy from the busy traffic. Rooms were fair enough, simple thought of, with basics roughly around 16-18sqm, which might feel congested for some, but in the end, if you plan on staying out most of the time, will that matter much?? Beds were comfortable, coffee table with 2 chairs, room was clean, house keeping taken care of everyday, a good sized clean bathroom with immediate hot water access the moment you step into the shower, good wifi connection, anything more to ask?? Nothing much on the TV to watch. Yes, it is located on a street with shops, garages etc which might worry you for a while due to noise, but on the higher floors, its barely audible. Lift felt outdated and small but did its job. A small porch at the entrance to sit and have your morning coffee, maintained its privacy with its planters. Restaurant is located at -1 level, serving above average breakfast. In the end, its just to fill you up a bit for the day to start. 10 min walk uphill will take you to the main road where you get public transport connectivity. If you love walking, add another 10 minutes to Taksim Square. The hosts Mustafa and Ozan are quite helpful and for any information can be approached. For some, the hike walk might be painful, just grab a taxi towards Taksim which might be around 170-200TL. A small market 5 min down the same road for some grabs if you like. Overall after a days outing, coming back, taking a hot shower and lying on a comfortable bed is all that was needed. Just that the price is a little bit on the higher side, which should be reconsidered by the team. Overall an 7.8/10 stands out fair and can be considered for a short stay.

Hotel staff are accommodating and friendly. Rooms are clean and tidy, not that spacious but still manageable. Location of the Hotel is close to Osmanbey metro station, 5-7 mins walking up the hill, a good workout. Accsessible to any locations like restaurants, bars, and others shops.

Was allocated this hotel whilst visiting Istanbul for a medical procedure. Room is modern and clean. Air conditioning was too hot but was adjusted by staff from the lobby. It isn’t located in a picturesque part of the city, however I felt perfectly safe walking around on my own at night. It is in a hilly part of the city which could be an issue if you have limited mobility. Breakfast isn’t the best but this is a budget hotel and for that feel it offers good value for money.
