Very good hotel with excellent staff. When our first room had a bad smell, they immediately changed it for us, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was tasty, location is perfect near Istiklal, and the linens were very clean.
The room, bathroom, and toilet could be cleaner, and I would prefer if the toilet door closed properly and there was better ventilation. Also, some outside noise can be heard at night. Still, overall it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend the hotel.

We spent 4 nights and after other hotels this was a great stay
Reasonably central to most services if you don’t mind a 5-10 minute walk either uphill or downhill. There’s also a vintage tram line on the Main Street. 1 min away.
The room we had was double double glazed and was soooo quiet. We were on the corner of the building facing down the side street towards the main hustle n bustle street. Ships and bars and cafes all open till very late.
We opted for breakfast included. On offer was a good varied selection breakfast, cooked, cereal, breads and meats salads and cheeses.

The location is very good, right on a side street off Istiklal Caddesi, but it's a bit noisy at night because there's a rakı bar right across the street. The bathroom could be a bit better. But otherwise, it's very good for a short trip. Everything else was clean. The price/performance ratio is excellent.

Location wise, it's pretty good. However, for the price we paid, it didn't really deliver. No spa, no facilities, etc. We only got the breakfast, which, to be honest, is good and diverse. Room service isn't really the best but not bad. Plus, our room happened to overlook the street, which meant we could hear every noise. There was no noise cancelation, really annoying. Would recommend for a short stay, not a long one.

This was my second stay at The Public Hotel, and just like the first time, the experience was outstanding. I would 100% recommend it.
The staff is truly remarkable, always friendly, attentive, and ready to help. When they found out it was my second time staying at the hotel, they kindly offered me a complimentary upgrade, which I really appreciated.
The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Taksim, making it very easy to explore Istanbul, whether on foot or by public transport.
The value for money is excellent, especially considering the quality of the hotel, the design of the rooms, and the overall atmosphere.
I would definitely return for a third stay. It was a truly pleasant and memorable experience.

I had a great experience at The Public Hotel in Istanbul. The staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel itself was extremely clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I really enjoyed my time there and will definitely book a room again in the future.

Very nice, very central

The public hotel is located at the center of the istiklal street in a tight alley. Hotel has a unique and interesting interior design. Rooms are situated in 2 blocks which one has the alley view and one block has the hotel backside view. The personnel were kind and helpful enough. Hotel doesn't have the laundry service. Breakfast was ok considering the 4 star hotel. Standard double rooms were relatively small and vanity was located next to the bed outside the toilet area. Last floor (5th floor) rooms were attic roof rooms with low ceilings which can be troublesome for some.
These rooms have balcony with distant view of sea. Cleanliness of the hotel was so so, our first room toilet was not clean and as we informed the receptionist, he stated that room service is not active till tomorrow! It is of note that the signs of wears and tears were visible in every corner of the room. On our second night, our rooms electrical system was jammed which resulted in a delayed room change. There are two 24/7 car parks near the hotel in case of car rental.

Nice location, nice staff, nice interior design, but our room was not clean enough when we arrived, specially the toilet and when we asked for a housekeeper to clean the toilet they said we have to wait till tomorrow, which was very disappointing. And also on our second night the toilet flush wouldn’t work and the room’s key card wouldn’t work which led to change the room at 2 am. The breakfast was alright, definitely not the best breakfast buffet in my experience but acceptable.

I stayed there for a week, i didn’t expect much as the hotels located around Taksim square are not usually ok, however, this experience changed my mind, the room was clean, shower and toilet clean and very good condition. Breakfast was good, wifi was a bit weak needs a couple of routers to make the signals stronger. Location is very good, close to main bus and Metro stations.
Among the great staff was Mr. Yasin Akdostu, who was very helpful, very friendly and nice. Other staff were also lovely. I definitely suggest this hotel to others.
