Tan Residence

The convenient location in prestigious area of Istanbul - Sisli. 7 minutes walking to underground station Osmanbey. In the same place are stops of buses which for smaller cost will bring you in various directions of Istambul, in particular to another coast – to Fatih district (may be 20 min.). Up to a stop of buses Havatas from both airports – 2 or 3 stops by the city bus from hotel. The stop named Elmadag. Hotel located between two stops – Harbiye and Pangaltı. Rooms are spacious, are all necessary - conditioners, refrigerator, wash machine, TVs, kitchen with gas cooker where it is possible to cook food. There are no rooms with two separate beds. To you will tell, that it is possible to sleep on a sofa on the room, but it is not so comfortable. However, to you will give an additional bed for free. It is small and narrow, but is real bed. Anybody does not speak about it, but at settlement you can lodge not in a building which is specified on a website and in official materials, but in a building beside - the next door. First night we lived in a building of hotel, for next days administration have lodged us to another building. At the second building rooms are convenient too, but are not present the lift, and a ladder screw is very narrow and abrupt. To older persons it will be difficult to use it. Also on a ladder according to reason of economy, light is switched off automatically through certain time and you can get stuck in full darkness. Last unpleasant moment. The sum, approximately corresponding price of two days of living in hotel, has been blocked on my bank account in process of booking hotel. It’s ordinary situation – no problem. But… We have lodged, I have paid all cash, to me have given out the bill. Money have remained blocked. I asked employees to unblock money. To me have answered, that all will be made in couple of days. As a result, money have been unblocked on the account only after my departure in period of couple of days.

We are group of friends stayed in this hotel, rooms were large enough, clean and air conditioned, a large hall with dining table, sofa bed and TV, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and washing machine. We booked this hotel by looking at the pictures but were disappointed when were actually accommodated in a nearby building. Though the apartment is old.. rooms were recently renovated, few steps away there is a supermarket which was open event at night, many restaurants and shops nearby, nearest metro stop is osmanbey, at late night not recommended to walk alone in this street. Hotel staff were friendly, speaks english.

We stayed here on our last night having just got back from Antalya and before travelling back home to the UK. 2 couples sharing an apartment (which caters to 6 ppl) which was clean and comfortable. The apartment has all the amenities (TVs, Kitchen, Washing machine, free Wifi, etc). First impressions are not great as the area looks rough however once you get your bearings you soon realise the area is very safe and there are international hotel chains nearby (Crown Plaza, Ramada etc). 20 mins walk from Taxim square and easy to find (one straight road). The reception staff were very nice and spoke excellent english. A great place to stay in a good location.
