Joy Taksim Reviews

Do not choose this hotel if you are a light sleeper. The noise is constant. They gave me a room on 2nd floor. It’s over 3 am and I am still struggling to sleep, the traffic is ongoing with motor vehicles. I asked the staff at reception to change room, but was told all rooms are like this. I don’t think I will be able to get any sleep at this hotel. It’s first hotel ever I came to sleep and I could not. Staff is not helpful to find solutions (maybe if you can get a room higher it will be better, but they said it’s all the same 🤷♂️)

Good choice for budget hotel in Taksim and near from airport shuttle Havabus Taksim

Location is good near to airport bus pick up and drop off. Cleanliness is good as well but no sound proof. Free two bottles of drinking water only on first day. Simple breakfast.

It was a perfect location, that is why stayed for many days. Happy to suggest to people. Kind of boutique hotel, have all what people need🙌

good location

The hotel is located a couple of minutes from the metro station and Taksim Square. There are various shops and cafes nearby. The room itself was spacious and freshly renovated. Very nice design and view from the window to the street. Amenities: the air conditioning worked well, the bed linen and beds were clean and it was nice to fall asleep on them. Cleaning was done regularly. Tea / coffee. Two bottles of water were on arrival. I recommend for booking.

We really enjoyed. Hello everybody. We were greeted warmly. The receptionist at Hacibe speaks a good level of English and, of course, Turkish; she checked us in very quickly; the other employee, unfortunately did not remember the name, can speak Russian. The woman from the dining room where we had breakfast also knows Russian very well. Well, you can always use an online translator. The cost of living for this quality is very reasonable. The hotel itself is tiny, but quite charming. The room is small: 2 single beds - snow-white bed linen, safe, refrigerator, Android TV, black out curtains, WI-FI works properly; The bathroom, for my height of 185 cm, is a little cramped, but for me this is not a problem, because it itself is clean and there are enough towels and shower accessories, and there is also a hairdryer. The price includes a small breakfast, which is served from 8:00 local time - just enough to have a snack before lunch. A nuance is that the Taksim Mosque is within walking distance, so you can hear the call to prayer five times a day. I sleep soundly and it didn’t bother me. There is a Migros jet grocery store on the next street, and Şok is also nearby. There are several currency exchange offices near the hotel. Istiklal Street, with the famous red tram, a wide variety of shops, cafes and restaurants, is also within walking distance. This time I traveled to Istanbul with my mother; she is of an elegant age and can handle stress well, but still the landscape in Istanbul is hilly and not very familiar to us, so the hotel was chosen based on criteria, including maximum transport accessibility. We got from Istanbul New Airport by Havaist bus - the travel time was approximately 40-50 minutes. From the stop to the hotel it takes about 5-10 minutes at a quiet pace. There is a metro station of the same name on Taksim Square, with its help you can easily get to many attractions - from the hotel to the metro it takes a maximum of 5 minutes at a calm pace. We wish the hotel success, prosperity and only satisfied guests. Greetings from Yekaterinburg, Russia.

Excellent location, the rooms are clean, but it is important to choose a room, the administrator helped me, otherwise the first room we were placed in had a very low ceiling and was incredibly small! Many thanks to the administrator Yusuf, attentive, he tells everything!

The room is too small and has some historical flavor. The location is good, just next to Taksim Square, the service is friendly and the breakfast is delicious.

The hotel is quite new, but it is very small inside. The hotel is in a good location and the service is also OK

It's in a convenient location. There are many restaurants nearby. There are many people there at night, so you can go out safely.

Convenient location, but limited floor height

Cramped, but nice and clean.
