We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable. The staff were very friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. The hotel gave me a complimentary room upgrade. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Overall, a Mostly Positive Experience - Would Recommend with a Caveat...
Pros:

Overall, a mostly pleasant experience. Taksim Story Residence is just 5 minutes away from Taksim Square. It's "quite literally" just off of Taksim Square, but in an area worked by prostitutes come early afternoon. That is certainly not Taksim Story's responsibility, but it may be a concern. The immediate neighborhood itself is charming, with eateries and grocery stores. My wife and I found the people nice, and the neighborhood seems to be revitalizing into a worthwhile and legitimate alternative for backpackers and budget-minded travelers. The room was just as depicted in photos. The staff was very helpful and a plus!

Cons:

The room felt dirty. Additionally, the bathroom wasn't cleaned prior to our arrival. We knew this by a small collection of empty body gel bottles in the shower that hadn't been disposed of and the lack of toilet paper available. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," they say, and less than sparkling clean can feel off-putting if not very disappointing.

Хорошо для своей цены
Pros:

Номер чистый и теплый, в отеле есть лифт, работает ресепшен. Персонал приветливый - мне прислали письмо с рекомендациями, как найти отель. Выбрала отель, т. к. он близко к остановке автобуса HavaIst, удобно добираться в аэропорт. Будет несколько крутой спуск в одном переулке или вы можете пройти по ступенькам.

Cons:

При бронировании не было указано, что номер находится в цокольном этаже. Мне не повезло, что окно было над кроватью (номер 601). В номере напротив кровать была расположена удобнее.
