Small nice hotel on the Asia side of Istanbul in the Kadiköy area The hotel is situated in a quietly street, nearby metro and ferrys

Stayed in March 2024

The hotel situated like 2 minutes away from the ferry boat station, so all we needed to take pleasant trip to historical part of Istanbul. The Kadiköy place 5 min away. On the same street with hotel were couple of fast food places and baklava shop. And yet it was very quiet in the night. About 100 m away there is hammam, which was very authentic. The young men on reception were extreamly nice, correct and polite. The room cleaning and towel change was every day, thow we tried not to throw towels down, but there no place to dry them, so it might be a good thing. Shampoo and toothbrush + paste were in shower room. Tea was available all day round in hotel hall. Breakfast was nice, bread, tea/coffee, local cheese, juices, vegetables, cookies. Different from usual european's, but I was nicely suprised to have lentile soup on breakfast. 2 big metro/bus stations are in 20 min walk away.

Smaller than expected rooms, but they are comfy and extremely clean, they have everything you need.

Charming Little Brand new hotel. Great Location, close to main shopping and restaurant area, also few steps from main transport lines. Close to seaside, lots of things to do nearby, also few minutes from the center if Istanbul via ferry or metro.

Only spent one night, but it was very comfortable, and the location was perfect. Easy access to the metro, bus station and the ferry, aswell as close to the bright lights of the Kadikoy area of Istanbul. The hotel and room were very clean with everything we needed and the staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Perfectly located. Boatport to European side is like 2 minitus walk from the hotel. Nice and safe neighborhood. Friendly staff. Hygiene good.

The standard room we had originally booked was not spacious as captured in the photos. It was actually extremely small, with not enough space for luggage, very few hangers and absolutely nowhere to place anything in the bathroom. If we had stayed there the experience would not have been the same.

Istanbul Life hotel has been a great choice for us. The location is extremely convenient:just 3 minutes away from the pier and from the central bus station. All kinds of shops and restaurants are in a walking distance. As for the breakfast, it offered a variety of options and we didn't feel a rush, even a bit after the serving hours. Nothing special, but good enough and freshly cooked. The lady serving us was absolutely kind and helpful! Our *final* room was beautiful, very spacious and nicely decorated. However, at first we were assigned to another room which did not meet our expectations nor the website photos ( read more below ). After communicating our needs to the receptionist, they tried their best and offered us a much better room the next day. That room was delightful.

WiFi was down on one night during my stay, reinstated within 24 hours.

excellent location, within walking distance to key attractions like Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, etc. The room is large, bright, shower of good pressure. Breakfast is ok. The staff is warm, helpful

The only thing is, if you love spacious hotel rooms, this hotel may not be for you. It was fine for us though.

It was my second time staying at the Istanbul Life Hotel (and fifth time in the city), and I think it's a great place to stay if you've been to Istanbul before and want to stay in a less touristy area. The main attractions are still just a ferry ride away, you can explore many other places, for example the Prince Island are easier to reach, and the hotel itself is surrounded by a lively neighbourhood with some of the city's best restaurants and a nice seaside promenade. Sabiha Gökçen airport can be accessed by metro without change of line. Also, we liked the breakfast!

Nothing, it was great.

Great location for the hotel, our room was nice and quiet yet 100m down the road you were in amongst the bars and restaurants. Easy location for public transport too. The taxi service organised by the hotel was also great.

Everything was marvellous. The location , close to the ferry, the restaurants, the metro was perfect. The stuff was very friendly

Some noise from the street. Ended up having the ground floor room as the first floor one was not cleaned by 14.30 that I arrived. The only downside was I guess the noise, perhaps on the1st floor would have been less noisy. For the price I was expecting a little more. The staff was not fully up to date with some touristic queries.

Good location in Kadikoy Close to metro and ferries and center of town. The room was nice and spacious and clean.

Restricted hot water (shower). I had hot water in my room only in mornings. WiFi could be better.

Good value for the price. Satisfied about everything except a few things mentioned further. Recommend for short term visits.
