2-Star Hotels in Istanbul

My sister and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. It was clean, and the location was super – we could easily walk to all the attractions. The metro was also very close, just a 3-minute walk away. To give you an idea, we got to the main airport in an hour with one transfer, and it was very cheap and fast! Grocery stores were also within 5 minutes. The only downside is that the room is very small for two people. However, the price was great. It's fine for one person, but very cramped for two. The staff was friendly. The only thing about breakfast is that it's made to order, and when you check in, they ask you what kind of omelet you'd like, and if you prefer tea or coffee. I don't usually eat a lot for breakfast, so an omelet, coffee, and a few slices of cheese, sausage, and bread were perfectly sufficient! You don't feel overly full afterward like you often do with a typical breakfast. The staff was very pleasant. I would 100% recommend it to a close friend (great value for money). Definitely recommend for a solo traveler!

Choosing Zoom Hotel to stay in was the best choice I could've made. It is amazing! The staff are so kind and helpful. Each time I needed something, they went above and beyond to accommodate me and make my stay as pleasant as possible. I had about 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Everything was working, and the room was quiet. The location is awesome, being just one metro station from the airport and surrounded by many places where you can eat or shop. Totally recommend Zoom Hotel!

We had a very pleasant stay in Istanbul. The location is excellent, very convenient to explore the city and close to many attractions. The room was very clean, the bed was very large and extremely comfortable, which made it easy to rest after a long day of sightseeing. The bathroom was also very good and well maintained. Breakfast was included and it was a great way to start the day, with a good variety of options. We also want to highlight the staff. They were very kind, welcoming, and always willing to help us with anything we needed. Their assistance made our stay even better. Overall, it’s a hotel that is definitely worth it. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Fabulous little hotel/hostel just 500 meters from Taksim Square. The location is excellent, from the square you can reach every corner of Istanbul, also the Asian side. I stayed for 4 nights in a four bed room, delicious breakfast included. I paid around 12 $ pr night. This is one of the best deals I have had in any place I have visited. The staff is nice and the rooms and common areas are very OK. I can safely recommend this to anyone who is traveling on a budget and wants to explore Istanbul.

The reception guys were superb in every aspect . Extremely helpful staff no hussle. Used google translator to make sure they understood and helped you properly.. I asked about how I could get to places and they would go on google map talk throigh how to walk to the bus station traim or tram they would tell ne what stop to get off and where the location of where I wanted to get to. They will ask me to take a picture from their of the route and stops of the bus/ tram or metro and where to get of amd give me the name of tbe station . Iam truly greatful and really enjoyed my stay. The place was spotless everyday cleaning and change of towels. The location of the hotel is easy to find first time. The hotel is very central to Kadikoy in general. Town centre is a 3mins walk with a hype of avtivities from fish markets to food square shopping and etc. I loved walking along the coast amd joining everyone to watch the sunset with live music by the harbour. I stayed in a 2nd floor room witb sea view wifii was good and relaible.I felt very very safe.This place is a go to Kadiloy was the best for me this time people aroumd.in general are very friendly always ready to help.. I will be back many tomes staying at the same hotel.connectiom to all Airports easy and very convinviniet used the Havaris buses very cheap. I left my luggage i the lobby before my bjs trip to the airport and all well sorted and coordinated. I have no words to describe this place but truly greatful as a solo traveller. I asked for an iron and none was available but nkthing much to worry about i still wore my clothedls. Waht might be helpful is to ha e some brochures at the reception with toursit informatoon on what one could do while in Kadiloy.

This was my first stop in Istanbul, and it was an excellent choice. I had a very comfortable and secure stay. The hostel's location is fantastic; after exploring Beyoğlu all day, it was so easy to find my way back, and returning felt just like coming home every evening. The mixed quad room was great; I shared it with a very polite Australian guy, and we had some friendly chats. He even gave me some recommendations for places to visit. The common area downstairs also had a nice vibe. One evening, the guy at the front desk saw me writing, and he kindly brought over some Turkish tea and delicious snacks his mom made. Overall, it was a superb hostel experience, and I'm sure I'll stay here again on my next visit.

I loved that there were so many attractions nearby. The staff were also very friendly, which is why I stayed here twice during my two visits to Istanbul on my Turkey trip. I think for this price, it's probably the cheapest hostel in all of Istanbul. It really helped me save a lot of money. I later found out that Pannibottle also stayed at this hostel, which was pretty cool! This was the best accommodation I had during my entire trip to Turkey!

The owner was very friendly, and I was truly grateful for their help. We talked about many things, and it was great. Thank you! It was a wonderful trip.

I stayed for two days and was overall pleased. The location is incredible: there's a great street nearby with good cafes and restaurants for every taste, including plenty of seafood. The waterfront promenade is literally two minutes away, offering stunning views. There's also a modern European coffee shop nearby with delicious coffee. Honestly, I don't understand the value for money, and I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews. The hotel is far from perfect—there are some areas that could be improved. But overall, for the price of a hostel, you get your own private room with a double bed and a private bathroom. The only thing I would really like to see is bars on the windows or some additional security, as the floor is low and I'm a little concerned about the safety of my belongings. Although the area is fairly quiet, I didn't notice anything suspicious. A lot of things were slightly broken, and the smell of cigarettes was quite annoying—the room smelled noticeably of smoke. Overall, everything was almost as described in other reviews. But I repeat: for this price, I don't think you'll find a better option. If your goal is to come and spend a few nights without breaking the bank, this is an excellent choice, especially if you're alone.
