Harbiye Residence

Horrible experience. The building was shabby and the rooms did not look like the photos at all. The smell of the rooms forced us to cancel the reservation on the spot. We were promised to get a full refund within 3 days which never happened....

Rooms old, shabby, crappy. Bathroom very old and rusty all over. The floor filthy and old too. The buliding was never renovated from scratch. Only new bads and everything else was 100years old and overused. Noise from all the other rooms and from hallway. Breakfast poor and bad coffee too, the least variety.

Myself and my wife stayed at this hotel previously this is now our 5th time . We wanted to stay central to Nişantaşı place we adore for cultural Turkish food and shopping. We also visit our dentist clinic Tanner which is about 10 minutes walking from hotel . Taksim about 15 minutes walk and I’ve managed to book ticket with help of reception staff at the hotel to Beşiktaş football match. Rooms are immaculate with all fatalities and are kept very clean . Reception staff are very friendly and always with a smile offering to help in any way they can making us feel at home . Sabiha Gökçen Airport about 50 minutes away without traffic however with traffic could take hour and half . We have stayed both front facing rooms and rear facing rooms there is no difference in noice difference as all windows are double glazed and sound proof . There are plenty local restaurants our favourite for breakfast and lunch is Göçmen about 10 minutes walk from hotel . If your thinking of staying here for few nights I would definitely recommend this hotel as it’s very close to popular destinations and very easy to reach by walking . Definitely 5 stars from me and will be coming back soon .
