“5-minute walk to Taksim Square. It is suitable for solo travelers or couples, but not for families.”
+The host/staff was very accommodating,he stayed up until 3 AM to check us in and helped with our heavy bags. He even offered a complimentary late checkout at 2 PM, though our plans changed and we left early.
−Taksim Rain Suite is ideal for a solo traveler or a couple, but I wouldn't recommend it for a family with small kids. A few things to keep in mind: No lift: Carrying heavy luggage up the stairs is difficult. Steep street: The slope outside the building is quite steep, which could be dangerous for small children or guests with disabilities.

“Smell you Later!!!!”
+The area around Taksim Square & how the majority of locals made us feel welcome.
−We arranged a check in time between 21-00-22-00 and we was still stood on the street at 22.45pm with the host not answering his phone and no on arrival reception. A neighbouring hotel had to make contact with them to say you had waiting guests outside the property. Eventually when entering the building and being shown to our room there was a horrendous smell of drains coming from the bathroom so there was a unknown situation developing, what would of happened when we have a shower or use the toilet. So we declined our stay, and furthermore we've been accused of offending the proprietor - what about our health breathing in such odours for our 3 day stay?? Also the balcony doors were wide open, so that sets off the alarm bells!! Declined a refund, because we OFFENDED HIM - We are happy for you to keep it and put it towards your maintenance costs, so nobody else has to witness this!! 👍

+Location to Taksim Square, food outlets and shops was great. Salih was a friendly and helpful host.
−Cigarette smoke from outside could be smelt sometimes, but not a major issue.

“Inhospitable”
+The location.
−The host’s behavior was extremely unprofessional and aggressive. I was repeatedly called and pressured over a minor situation, despite clearly explaining I was packing to leave early for a flight. The communication quickly became intrusive and stressful, with demands to “remove a guest immediately” even though no one was staying overnight at that point. I was effectively forced to check out early and could not use the remaining time I had already paid for. Overall, the experience felt hostile rather than hospitable.

+“I really liked it! The hotel is a quiet and comfortable family place. The price is very reasonable and it’s very close to the city center, which is really practical in terms of transportation. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. I’m definitely planning to come back!”

+Nothing
−I have never stayed in such a dirty place! I didn't think it existed! The pictures are irrelevant! Mold on the ceiling, all the cups are full of dirt! The area is very suspicious. You are accommodated in the basement, in a ghetto. The owner only wants cash, he doesn't give you a receipt for absolutely nothing. Everything is very suspicious. Be very careful! This is a scam! At some point the hot water and heat stopped completely. The mess is indescribable. Old and dirty sofa and bed. The bathroom is infernally dirty. Unfortunately, we stayed because we celebrated the new year in Istanbul, and there were no more accommodations. I do not recommend this accommodation to anyone, especially people with children. The room being in the basement, if you want to open the windows, everyone passing by on the street can see you. There is no kitchen, it is a place where they keep all the equipment. This scam will stop when they have many complaints. BE CAREFUL! DO NOT STAY HERE!

“If I happen to pass by, I'll come from Teklar.”
+The location is beautiful, quiet and peaceful, with excellent city views.
−There's nothing to dislike; it's well worth the price.
