I stayed in Mineo hotel for 4 days with my family in November 2025. We were 3 in one room. The room was very clean. The bed sheets were clean. The staff were friendly and nice. Of course they couldnt speak English fluently but we could communicate with simple words. Breakfast was great and enough for all people. Vegetarian breakfast was incuded. If they install pump liquid hand soap dispensers in the rooms for better hygiene, evey thing will be perfect.

I and my lady friends have booked 4 twin bedrooms at least 4 weeks before I checked-in day but the staff gave me 4 king bedrooms instead. the staff spent 2 hours for changing my rooms to be the same as my original booking. The room was dirty. Moreover, after I stayed in my twin bedroom, the staff used his master key without my permission opened the door and tried to force me to move to a king bedroom again. This was so horrible experience I ever had.

Within 5 minutes of entering the room, I tried to use the washroom, there was hair on the toilet seat and inside the toilet. The bidet leaked water as soon as it was turned on. Called the staff to check on it, the dismissed the issue and said that a technician will not be available until tomorrow. Asked for the room to be changed and said they can't because they don't have any available. Asked to please check and the staff muttered something in Turkish that we did not understand. Definitely do not recommend.
16.09.2025 Guest
I wouldn't recommend it. The rooms are boring. The staff is different. The breakfast variety is insufficient. The rooms are not cleaned very well.
12.09.2025 Guest
Great location, very close to Taksim Square with an easy flat walk. Rooms were clean, well-equipped, and the safe box was secure. Friendly staff and decent breakfast, though tables were limited and bathroom cleanliness could be better. We stayed four nights on a girls’ trip and overall were satisfied; safe and suitable hotel.
12.09.2025 Guest
The rooms are very boring and cramped. Breakfast is just okay. The staff are very unhappy and restless. Being close to the square is good. Five minutes from Istiklal Street. Very noisy at night. There are better hotels in the area. I was not satisfied.

I will not recommend the hotel. You can find better at the same location.
Breakfast was really not upto the standard. Rooms are small with a sewer smell inside. I observed humidity in the ceiling also.
08.08.2025 Mohammad
I stayed at this hotel for a week. The location is great, with easy access to nearby attractions, and the housekeeping team kept the room clean and tidy throughout my stay. However, the room space felt quite limited, which made it a bit uncomfortable for a longer visit, and the Wi-Fi connection was not very reliable. With some improvements to the room size and internet service, this could be a much better place to stay.

Review – Nippon Hotel, Istanbul
I stayed at Nippon Hotel during the end of the year and New Year period. The hotel was fully booked, including many families, yet the overall experience was very good.
The service was excellent, the room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and it fully matched my expectations. Housekeeping and staff support were professional and responsive.
Breakfast offered a good variety of options, and if something was not available, the staff were willing to accommodate special requests, which was appreciated.
The location of the hotel is also very convenient, with easy access to exchange offices, supermarkets, restaurants, and shisha cafés. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay.
I wish the hotel continued success.

On the first night, I complained to the hotel because I couldn’t sleep due to the heat (in winter time), I was tired then. They were unable to fix the air conditioner, and next morning I asked to change rooms. They moved us to another room that is smaller, for four people, but with better air conditioning. This means I paid for a Family Deluxe room of 35 m² but had to stay in a room of about 20 m². This experience is bad.

I have stayed at three other hotels in Turkey during this trip, and all of them were good. Only Nippon Hotel made my holiday incomplete. I really regret choosing Nippon Hotel; if I had read other guests’ reviews on Google more carefully, I would not have made this booking.

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The property is very clean, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and consistently helpful. I appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the welcoming fruit plates and Turkish delights, which made the stay feel even more personalized.

The breakfast was fair, with a reasonable selection. One of the strongest aspects of the stay was the team at the reception; they were always attentive, responding to guest requests promptly and professionally.

Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and good hospitality. I would happily consider returning.
02.12.2025 Genti
Good service overall. In the rooms, the wardrobes are very small. If you plan to go with small children, you won’t be able to enter or exit with a stroller, which really annoyed me. The hotel doesn’t have parking. Breakfast is moderately good.
09.11.2025 Mordred
Edit 1: the issue is solved after a long discussion back and forth with the hotel and Booking.com.
Thanks to Nancy from the reception she is so helpful and collaborative! Without her the issue was not solved.

I just arrived today at 2 PM, and the room was extremely hot. I asked the reception to check the air conditioning, and they told me it was fixed. I trusted them and went out for the day. When I came back around 10 PM, the room was even hotter!

I called the reception again (different shift this time), and the person told me there’s no cold air, only heating, because the entire building uses central AC. Seriously? Every guest has to accept the same temperature? What if someone wants a cooler room? This makes absolutely no sense.

I told him that if they cannot provide cold air, then please refund my money so I can move to another hotel. He told me to contact Booking.com. I did, and Booking informed me that the hotel just needs to send a confirmation email to approve a refund. However, the reception refused, saying that only the reservation team can do that — and they don’t work on weekends! So now I have to wait until Monday, meaning I’m forced to spend two nights in a room at 29°C!

This is completely unacceptable. Poor management, poor communication, and zero care for guests’ comfort. I am stuck here suffering because of their unprofessional system.

Avoid this hotel unless you enjoy sleeping in a sauna!
