“Terrible condition”
+We had a terrible experience. The shower and toilet in the bathroom were broken, everything except the bedding was filthy and dirty, and the furniture was broken and stained. There was no elevator. The staff was helpful, but the hotel is in terrible condition. It doesn't deserve its stars.
+The best thing about Hotel Utarit is its location. Just a minute’s walk from Taksim Square, it’s perfect for exploring Istanbul, with trams, funiculars, taxis and ferries nearby, and major attractions walkable within about an hour. The immediate area is full of cafés, restaurants and shops, yet the street itself is surprisingly quiet. Room 6, where we stayed, has a private balcony with afternoon and evening sun, a very comfortable bed with high-quality linen, and strong Wi-Fi. However, the room needs attention. The air conditioning struggles in the day and only cools properly after sunset. Some sockets spark when used, the shower tray leaks heavily, and the shower head was broken most of the stay, only replaced on the final evening. The harsh ceiling light makes the room feel clinical, and the paintwork looks tired. Noise from a neighbour’s TV is audible in the bathroom but not the bedroom, and the heavy main door downstairs shuts loudly, though this wasn’t disruptive on the third floor. Housekeeping was consistent and staff were polite, helpful and spoke good English, though maintenance issues were slow to be resolved. With only six rooms, the hotel feels private and safe, though
“Nice place with a thoughtful receptionist :)”
+I strongly recommend this place. The perfect location and spacious room made me want to stay longer:) The receptionist, Asım was so friendly, thoughtful and always responded immediately:) He takes care of every tiny details you might need.

+As someone who travels frequently, I can confidently say that this hotel was the best I've ever stayed in. While I won't go on about the location since it's evident from the map, it was the service that truly stood out during our entire trip. We needed a place to stay between flights and randomly chose this hotel based on its location. However, our first flight was significantly delayed, and we arrived in Istanbul at 1 am. To our pleasant surprise, the hotel had contacted us via the booking service and even left a note on the door with instructions for self-check-in. We called the number they provided and they guided us through the process, even at such a late hour. The following day, we requested an extra hour for check-out to finish some business, and the hotel graciously granted our request. They also helped us with our luggage and provided advice on the best way to get to the airport. They even negotiated with a taxi on our behalf. The room itself was cozy and immaculately clean, and the location was superb. However, it was the exceptional service that truly made our stay memorable. If we ever need to return to Istanbul, we won't even consider any other hotel. To the hotel staf

“Caro pero buen hotel”
+Muy buen hotel, la limpieza, comodidad, atención, el baño, la situación... La entrada al hotel da una mala imagen del mismo, por lo pequeña que es, por lo demás bien. El ascensor es muy lento. Respecto al precio me parece muy caro, fuimos por la anulación de otra reserva
+The hotel room is cleaned every day the location is perfect the hotel has good glazed windows very quiet the staff are very helpful and friendly service . I would stay there again next time we are in Istanbul
+Una delle camere più pulite e ordinate trovate in Turchia. Posizione strategica. Pensavo la moschea avrebbe dato fastidio ma fortunatamente ha un volume del muezzin ridotto la mattina presto. Non c'è l'ascensore ma il proprietario si incarica del trasporto bagagli. Colazione in linea col prezzo e soprattutto preparata sul momento per quanto riguarda verdure e taglio di carne. Prezzo assolutamente onesto per la posizione e l'offerta data. Camera leggermente poco illuminata ma davvero bella e pulita.
