La Bella Hotel, Istanbul

I stayed at this hotel after moving from another one due to some room issues. The shared bathroom was a downside for me, so I decided to cut my stay short. However, I must admit that the room itself was clean and comfortable for two people.

I decided to leave after 2 nights of my 5-night booking because my room was in the basement, but I must say it was very clean. The location is perfect for exploring Istiklal and Taksim, and the public transport access was great. The service was friendly overall, although I felt a bit disrespected when they removed the cat despite my reassurance it was not a problem. Dining was just okay, nothing special but sufficient until 10 am. The hotel facilities were decent.

The hotel is a great choice for a short stay; the rooms were very clean and comfortable for two persons. The location is superb, just a few minutes from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, offering great convenience for exploring the area. The dining experience was sufficient but could use some improvement in terms of portion size for the price paid.

My stay at the hotel was quite delightful. The rooms, although a bit smaller than expected based on the pictures, were clean and comfortable for two persons with a spacious bathroom to share. The service was excellent, with incredibly kind and helpful staff, even if they unnecessarily removed a cat despite my reassurance that it wasn't a problem. The location was superb, just a few minutes' walk from Taksim square and Istiklal Street, making it extremely convenient for airport transfers. The dining experience, although a bit minimal compared to other options, was still worth the price paid. Overall, a great value for money.

I was pleased with the hotel's location, being close to Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. The room in the basement was a bit noisy for my liking, so I decided to cut my stay short. It's alright for a short stay but not ideal for a longer booking.
